Why re-invent the wheel so to speak. I came across this article at a website called Auto Parts Online which you can either read here or there!

“I was reading an article today about women drivers and the top ten cars that they drive and was interested to read that women often 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 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 affordable, practical and economical. It has to be versatile with lots 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 the engine capacity of a VW GTI. There is also a diesel Jetta which has great fuel economy. It is also clean and also very quiet. It easily has space for two adults and three children.

Mercedes Benz E class

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 touch of luxury. The interior has plush dashboards and steering wheel which features soft touch buttons. It has a fantastic engine which runs extremely smoothly and is very powerful. Altogether well worth its price.

Mazda MX 5

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 room in the boot is pretty limited but enough for the single woman. The integrated roll bars which are 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 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 better steering and sharper handling. One important change is the addition of electronic stability control which helps 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 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 ideal handling conditions in all weather conditions. One other feature is the all wheel drive system which gives great handling conditions in all weather conditions.

When I have more time I’ll add some foxy, mostly smaller, economic to run and greener choices,  to include Ford, Citroen, Smart, Honda, Peugeot, Mini, Vauxhall, VW and Toyota models.
