The best cars for women

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 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 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 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 the diesel Jetta which has outstanding fuel economy. It is also clean and quiet. It can easily accommodate two adults and three children.

Mercedes Benz E class

This is a prestige car. It is large enough for the family to fit in comfortably but also compact enough to for easy parking. It has that great touch of luxury. The interior has plush dashboards and steering wheel featuring soft touch buttons. It has a fantastic engine which runs really smoothly and is very powerful. All in all well worth the 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 quite enough for the single woman. The integrated roll bars which are positioned 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 highly recommended for its practicality and there is more space for a growing family. The body shell is extremely rigid and the suspension has 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 safe 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 area with antilock brakes and front seat mounted airbags come as standard. One other feature is the all wheel drive which gives great handling conditions in all weather conditions.
