Upgrading your car

So you already own a car(mostly entry level) and you want to upgrade. Assuming that one can't afford to have 2 cars, the new car should have all the goodness of present car and much more. Please note that upgrading here doesn't mean modifying the car, but changing the car.

Upgrading is mostly obvious but sometimes deceiving. Its not just buying a car which is costlier than the present one, but buying a car of different class. That means if you own a hatchback(premium or entry level) go for a sedan. And if you already own a sedan buy a more sportier sedan. Simple. Also SUVs and estates(station wagons) come under hatchback category. For instance if a person owns Swift Vxi then buying Skoda Fabia is not an upgrade in real sense. Instead going for say Ford Fiesta(or even Indigo CS) is a much better option.

So why am I insisting on sedans over hatchbacks/SUVs/estates? Because its the perfect design for a car. It has better ride and handling. Moreover the passenger compartment is isolated from the boot. Seating position, front and rear, is far superior. I think these enough reasons. So upgrade in true sense.

Some people might argue that a sports car is better than a sedan. Well not really because a person owning a sports car must own another car. Sports cars are only for pure weekend fun and they have zero utility.
