I was reading an article 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 supposed to buy the type of car that they want whereas a women will buy a car that they need!
Overall they tend to go for a car that is affordable, practical and economical. It has to be extremely flexible 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 large enough for a growing family and has the engine capacity of a VW GTI. There is also a diesel Jetta which has great fuel economy. It is also clean and very 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 touch of luxury. The interior has plush dashboards and steering wheel featuring soft touch buttons. It has a fantastic engine which runs smoothly and is extremely powerful. Altogether 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 economical too. The space 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 consider it if you are over 6ft which I suppose 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 rigid and the suspension has also been adapted for improved steering and sharper handling. One important difference 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 good reliable all rounder.
Subaru Forester
This is a real family car. For the woman that likes the outdoors and needs that extra bit of space.
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 excellent handling conditions in all weather conditions.
