Women's car - what should it be?

Surely we all heard the expression at least once in our lives: “Oh, so this is a woman's car!” As a rule, it pops up from someone from the crowd when some interesting car drives by, pink or like red lipstick. So what is this phrase? Are there really female models of cars? Why, then, when selling, for example, huge SUVs, dealers do not specify: “Excuse me, but will you drive it or is it a fragile woman?” As if if a woman gets behind the wheel, the picture of the world will immediately turn upside down, and it will be necessary to urgently put a huge fat man in the car so that the earth returns to its orbit again.

Pink and cute

And speaking seriously, then, of course, among automakers there is an unspoken division of cars by gender. It is optional. Well, it just so happened that, for example, a tall blonde is unlikely to choose a black jeep. She will rather prefer a small pink car that will be easy for her to drive in city traffic. At the same time, a large man (inif finances allow), of course, he will opt for a large and roomy car. The most interesting thing is that the division of cars according to the principle of belonging to one sex or another belongs precisely to the representatives of the stronger sex. Journalists conducted a survey.

The division of cars into male and female belongs to the stronger sex?

Respondents were asked if there were women's car brands. Almost all representatives of the fair sex answered that there is no such division. Cars are divided by brands, body types, engine power, but not by who should drive them. But the men all as one agreed with this formulation of the question. They confidently stated that yes, there really is such a thing as a female car. It is small, compact, stuffed with mirrors so that you can fix your hair or powder your nose at any time, and all kinds of pockets for lipstick and mascara.

In America they don't know anything about it

It should be noted that such an attitude towards vehicles exists only in Russia. Almost nothing is known about such a division in the West. Research by auto manufacturers has shown that women are much more serious about the choice of cars than men imagine. For example, in addition to common misconceptions that ladies are guided only by color and size, in fact, motorists also think about safety and reliability. Women began to delve into the features of engines, the devicetransmissions, disc size and their effect on directional stability. Men needlessly underestimate women when they drive.

Pros in skirts

In general, it should be noted that our lovely ladies over the past few years have become very good at understanding cars. This is confirmed by statistics. It turns out that the fair sex is much more likely to buy and change cars. The number of women who have received a car loan is growing day by day. Moreover, such global manufacturers as Ford, Mercedes, Audi, are largely indebted to the ladies for the fact that they brought a lot of pleasant and comfortable things into the development of subsequent generations of cars with their criticism. So, for example, there was a power steering, a silencer and wipers. Today, a car is unthinkable without it. But once all these important lotions simply did not exist.

And thanks to our women, intuitively striving for everything convenient, comfortable and aesthetically beautiful, the modern auto industry has become much better. Who knows, maybe today's large corporations' desire to give their models streamlined, predatory design and sophisticated headlights winking neon light is also inspired by the ladies?

This is interesting

As a result of a study by Skoda in Russia, it turned out that ladies believe that any modern car must be equipped with an automatic transmission, air conditioning, airbags and parking sensors. Quite a sound and objective opinion. How do you think? Women are naturally given some special desire.to comfort. They try to create it in everything. Therefore, the corresponding requirements are imposed on the machines. Today it is considered absolutely normal that all women's cars have "automatic" without fail.

What do the ladies think?

The experience of Western countries shows that there, regardless of gender, most residents prefer small economical vehicles. This is due, firstly, to a lower tax rate, and secondly, to the convenience of parking and maneuvering in city traffic. Finally, it is not customary to boast of your condition and show that you are head and shoulders above everyone else only by the fact that you can afford a five-liter swallow.

In Russia, the situation is exactly the opposite. Our compatriots go out of their way to surpass their neighbor in social status. If a person is large, he will definitely sit on a large car. Have you ever seen a big guy in a small "Oka"? We also rarely saw this.

The best drivers

They say that the best way to refute stereotypes is to prove their failure by your own example. Cars only for brutal macho and sophisticated women are simply incompatible. If you believe what the statistics say, it becomes clear that ladies are much less likely to get into an accident, especially become its victims. This, on the one hand, seems strange, especially when you see how they clumsily turn around in narrow streets or cannot cope with ordinary parking. However, for the sake of objectivity, it should be noted that amongthere are plenty of men who can't fit into the only parking space at the hypermarket.

Dealers of well-known brands noted that women are very scrupulous in their choice of cars. Not a single detail escapes the female eye when choosing a dream car. As a rule, when choosing a complete set, ladies give their preference to an automatic transmission, air conditioning, heated seats, MP3, power windows, front and side airbags, ABS and ESP. This is usually the bare minimum. In addition to this, a women's car is often equipped with a leather interior. Other "bells and whistles" may also be present.

Women's cars: brands, photos

Let's look at a few cars that are most often purchased by ladies. The first place was assigned to the Fiat 500 - a miniature, neat and elegant "Italian" with small slanting "eyes". The hatchback is perfect for urban use. The car is easy to park, it perfectly maneuvers in a close stream of vehicles. Fuel consumption is a little more than 7 liters per 100 km. On the highway, Fiat consumes 2 liters less.

The manufacturer positions this car as an excellent assistant for a person who, by the nature of his work, often moves in a large metropolis. Such a machine will be indispensable for a housewife. On it, you can be happy to go to the supermarket in order to buy groceries or go to a meeting with a friend in a cozy cafe. This Fiat model costs about 14,000 euros.

Amazing bug

For more than a decade, beautiful women can be seen on the good old "bug". How did the Volkswagen Beetle conquer our ladies? Probably, first of all, with its interesting design. The car looks very cute, and its large round headlights bring some kind of childish spontaneity to the image. By the way, it is practical and unpretentious in maintenance. In the city, she "eats" 7 liters, and on the highway, like Fiat, a couple of units less. For lovers of stuffed "beetles" automakers offer special versions with excellent stuffing. This Volkswagen Beetle costs 18,000 euros.

Japanese dude

And what about without the charm - the baby Nissan Micra? This is a car with character. Just one glance at the predatory eyes is enough - and you understand that the car has some special dignity and, despite its small size, is able to be a great helper and friend. Therefore, Nissan Micra is included in our TOP "best women's cars." It's well balanced and a real pleasure to drive in heavy city traffic.

It should be noted that the manufacturers have provided in this car a lot of nice and useful compartments that can easily fit a cosmetic bag or other useful women's stuff. If we talk about the technical component of the machine, then simplicity and practicality prevail here. The car is not capricious and will be dissatisfied only in the event of an untimely oil change or missed maintenance. I would like to note that all (conditionally) femalemachines "automatic" have a fairly simple and sensitive. Cars instantly react to touching the gas. Therefore, our lovely ladies will not be late for either a beauty salon or a fashion shoe sale.

Is there the most feminine car?

The stylish "American" MINI is also very popular with ladies. What is the reason for such an interest of women in this car? Perhaps the fact that he somehow immediately captivates. It miraculously combines simplicity and originality with a touch of some kind of exclusive. In terms of technical characteristics and fuel consumption, MINI has not gone far from the models listed above. But in terms of price, he is a leader. For a minimum set of options, you will have to pay about 19,000 euros. It is not surprising that, for example, in Russia there are very few cars of this type. But other small women's cars are presented in abundance.

As a result

In general, by and large, the concepts of "women's car" or men's in its pure form simply do not exist. Perhaps the phrase "my favorite car" is more applicable. It's more true. And the division by gender is incorrect. A woman's car is just the car the lady chose. Sellers confirm this truth. At the same time, it is worth noting that when a woman has an amount of more than $20,000, her choice is usually no different from the choice of a brutal pragmatic man. Ladies in such cases acquire spacious urban parquetry or sports sedans. However, no matter what lovely women or our brutal men focus on, the most important thing is that they observe traffic rules.
