:motor Spare Parts Manual assists and automatic responses from the automotive world Female Vehicle Choices Forbes list of 10 cars These are the cars that fare the highest proportion of women buyers compared to men. Next to each car is the percentage of women that have bought them in comparison to our male counterparts. 10th equal – Jeep Compass & Nissan Juke 52% 8th – Toyota Rav4 53% 7th – Honda CR-V 53.4% 6th – Hyundai Tucson 54% 5th – Toyota Matrix 54.1% 4th – Volkswagen Beetle 54.6% 3rd – Volkswagen EOS – 56.4% 2nd – Nissan Rogue – 56.9% 1st – Volvo S40 – 57.9% Source: www.autoguide.com Three types of vehicles have been identified as the most popular choice for females reflecting both their personality and image. Caroline's Car Services The first is small cars. Based overseas in Norwich, Caroline's car services aim to revolutionise the garage industry. They want to provide a friendly and welcoming environment to customers so they don't feel intimated or nervous, especially for women who often fear their encounter with the garage. They offer all the usual garage services such as MOT (Ministry of Transport) which is similar to our WOF (Warrant of Fitness) as well as bronze, silver, gold and platinum packages. The workers are dressed in a pink overall uniform and their reception area is decorated in pink, their pink tagline reads "female friendly garage services". Not only are they providing a service that is there to benefit and help other women, but they are also gaining respect as women in the auto industry who are just as knowledgeable and skilful as a man in this male-dominated industry of work. Not only are these eco-friendly and save money on petrol but they are vava-voom! Their owners have flair, they are independent, fun and carefree, jumping into their cheeky run-around car willing to go anywhere their heart desires. The second group is convertibles. For those that like the wind in their hair (extensions), those who like solidness and sexiness with a subtle air of prettiness, wrap a loose scarf around your neck, don some shades and race off into the horizon in a smooth riding convertible. Last but not least is the SUV. These cars are becoming more and more popular, making their way into lists of the most popular car choices for female buyers. For the women who want protection for themselves or their children, the heavyweight and size of the vehicle make it unbreakable. Women also sit in a superior position and are invulnerable to anything coming their way. Source: www.telegraph.co.uk 60 | www.h e rmagaz i n e . c o. n z Source: www.carolinescars.co.uk
