If you want to visit a state that gives you an all-in-one experience, a blend of bustling cities, rural charm, and automotive legacy, then add Indiana to your checklist. It has lively locals living in towns like Bloomington and Notre Dame and cultural hubs that are must visit for families and children, like Eiteljorg Museum and Newfields art complex in Indianapolis. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis also holds importance in Indiana’s economy by drawing almost 1.3 million visitors annually to its interactive exhibits. Tourism is a big part of the state’s economy, accommodating 81.7 million personal trips and $16.2 billion in spending. Tourism’s growth has created thousands of jobs statewide, with opportunities for lodge owners, tour guides, and craft breweries, etc. The state is well-known as the ‘Crossroads of America’, with the Indy 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway gathering over 275,000 fans on race day. Nature lovers can explore Brown County State Park’s rolling hills in autumn, and kayak Turkey Run State Park’s limestone canyons in summer. The Indiana Dunes National Park saw 3.6 million visits in 2018 and continues to grow as a Great Lakes beach and dunescape destination.
Indiana is ranked among the top 5 vehicle-producing states in the United States, with the largest auto workforces (more than 200,000 Hoosiers working) in the automotive field. The top auto manufacturers like Toyota have an assembly plant in Princeton. In addition, Subaru has a plant in Lafayette, Honda’s in Greensburg, and Cummins diesel engine facility in Columbus. Moreover, it is home to more than 300 auto parts companies, including Allison Transmission, ArvinMeritor, and Bosch facilities. Cars and trucks are woven into Indiana’s economy and culture, with the auto sector generating $19.37 billion in car sales, and $13.47 billion in labor income (in 2022). With thousands of vehicles being sold each year, this industry contributes nearly $1.9 billion in state taxes.
Indiana experiences cold winters and hot summers. The average highs in summer run from about 36°F to 85°F in July, with thunderstorms producing hail and tornadoes. The heat can stress radiators and the AC system. The locals witness snowfall in winter, requiring salt on the roads. The Potholes from freeze-thaw in winter can damage tires and suspension and cause corrosion. Spring and autumn are mild with low humidity, perfect for driving through the Hoosier National Forest or along the Ohio River, especially on longer interstate drives. But, alongside beauty, Indiana’s flat terrain means long, straight highways, but fallen leaves can be slippery in fall and black ice can catch motorists off-guard on November mornings.
All new and used cars in Indiana come under the Lemon Law, applicable for 12 months after purchase, or 12,000 miles, falling within the manufacturer’s warranty. All defects found in the vehicle must be reported within 18 months or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first, regardless of whether the sale was through a dealer or private party. After written notice, consumers must give the manufacturer a reasonable number of repair opportunities. If the defect persists, they may pursue arbitration or civil action.
