The best cars for women drivers
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 interested to find out what this meant and apparently men are said to buy the type of car that they want whereas a women will buy a car that they need!
On the whole they tend to go for a car that is reasonably priced, practical and economical. It has to be extremely 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 the diesel Jetta which has outstanding petrol economy. It is also clean and also very quiet. It can easily accommodate two adults and three children.
This is a prestige car. It is big enough for the family to fit comfortably but also compact enough to for easy parking. It has that great touch of luxury. The inside has plush dashboards and steering wheel which features soft touch buttons. It has a fantastic engine which runs smoothly and is very 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 a really fun car and economical too. The space in the boot is limited but enough for the single woman. The integrated roll bars which are positioned behind each seat add practical safety benefits. The downside with this car is don’t even think about 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 been adapted for improved steering and even sharper handling. One change is the addition of electronic stability control which can help the driver from losing sudden panic manoeuvre or over aggressive driving. This small car is a good safe 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 mounted airbags that come as standard. One other feature is the all wheel drive system which gives ideal handling conditions in all weather conditionsOne other feature is the all wheel drive system which gives great handling conditions in all weather conditionsOne other feature is the all wheel drive system which gives great handling conditions in all weather conditions.
Costs Effective Cars
People are just fascinated with huge vehicles, even if they are struggling with money they still go out and get one. But as times change and as we get caught up in probably one of the worst economic crisis situations we have been in for decades, we have to look at cutting back
But recently car insurers Liverpool Victoria revealed that over 19% of drivers have chosen to downgrade their vehicles. There are a few reasons as to why people are downgrading so let’s take a quick glance at the most obvious.
1) The cost of petrol is forever on the increase, so people want to save and downgrade to a smaller engine.
2) Bigger engine vehicles are going to cost a lot more to tax and to insure.
3) To service or get a new wheel on an expensive motor it will end up costing a bomb.
People are in love with cars, it’s now become a type of tradition that people have to buy new cars every year or so. But I feel that now is the time to cut back simply because we are in the midst of a huge credit crunch. Most people get their new cars on finance, so even that is harder to achieve.
Car garages are panicking because they just cannot shift their big vehicles anymore. There is no way that even the richest person can just pop out a buy a Mazda or buy a Lexus. We all just have to be strong and tighten our belts and wait for the economic downturn to get better.
