I was reading an article today about women drivers and the top ten cars that they drive and was interested to read that women tend to be much better ‘car buyers’ than men. I was intrigued to find out what this meant and apparently men are said to buy the type of car that they want where in fact a women will buy a car that they need!
On the whole they tend to choose a car that is affordable, practical and economical. It has to be very versatile with plenty of storage space for family use. Here is a list of suggestions that they came up with;
Volkswagen Jetta
This compact individual car is ideal for the independent woman. It is roomy enough for a growing family and has even got the engine capacity of a VW GTI. There is also a Jetta which is diesel and has outstanding petrol economy. It is clean and quiet. It easily has space for two adults and three children.
This is a prestige car. It is large enough for the family to fit really comfortably but also compact enough to for easy parking. It has that little feel of luxury. The interior has a plush dashboard and steering wheel which features soft touch buttons. It has a great engine which runs smoothly and is very powerful. All in all well worth its price.
Mazda MX 5 Miata
This would be a great car for a woman with no family or an excellent second car. It is really a fun car and very economical too. The room in the boot is limited but enough for the single woman. The integrated roll bars behind each seat add practical safety benefits. The only downside with this car is don’t even think about it if you are over 6ft which I guess is another reason its more of a ladies car.
Another Mazda but this time a four or five door version. The five door is recommended for its practicality and there is more space for a growing family. The body shell is really rigid and the suspension has been adapted for improved steering and sharper handling. One important change is the addition of electronic stability control which can help the driver from losing sudden panic manoeuvre or over aggressive driving. This little car is a reliable all rounder.
Subaru Forester
This is a real family car. For the woman that loves the outdoors and wants that extra little bit of room.
Once again safety features are a strong point with antilock brakes and front seat airbags come as standard. One other feature is the all wheel drive system which gives great handling conditions in all the weather conditions.
