Surely we all at least once in our lives heard the expression: “Oh, it's a woman’s car!” As a rule, it pops out from the crowd when an interesting pink car or like red lipstick passes by. So what is this phrase? Are there really female models of cars? Why then dealers when selling, for example, huge SUVs do not specify: “Excuse me, but you will ride it or a fragile woman?” As if, if the representative of the fair sex is behind the wheel, the picture of the world will immediately turn upside down and it will be necessary to urgently plant in a car of a huge fat man so that the earth returns to its orbit again.
Pink and cute
But seriously, of course, among automakers there is a tacit division of cars by gender type. It is optional. Well, it just so happened that, for example, a tall blonde is unlikely to choose a black jeep. Rather, she would prefer a small pink car that would be easy for her to control in city traffic. At the same time, a man of large dimensions (if finances allow him), of course, will choose a large and roomy car. The most interesting thing is that the separation of machines on the basis of belonging to a particular sex belongs to the representatives of the stronger sex. Reporters conducted a survey.
The division of cars into male and female belongs to the stronger sex?
The respondents were asked whether there are female brands of cars. Almost all representatives of the fair sex answered that there is no such division. Cars are divided by make, type of body, engine power, but not by who should drive them. But the men, as one, agreed with this statement 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 straighten your hair or powder your nose at any time, and all kinds of pockets for lipstick and mascara.
In America, they do not know anything
It should be noted that such an attitude to motor vehicles exists only in Russia. In the West, almost nothing is known about such a division. A study of auto manufacturers showed that women are much more serious about choosing cars than men can imagine. For example, in addition to the common misconceptions that ladies are guided only by color and size, in fact, car enthusiasts also think about safety and reliability. Women began to delve into the features of engines, transmission, drive size and their impact on directional stability. Men in vain underestimate the ladies when they drive.
Skirts Pros
In general, it should be noted that our lovely ladies over the past few years have become very well versed in 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, global manufacturers such as Ford, Mercedes, Audi owe a lot to the ladies for their criticism of which they have contributed to the development of subsequent generations of cars a lot of pleasant and comfortable things. So, for example, there was a power steering, a muffler and wipers. Today, without this, a car is unthinkable. But once all of these important lotions simply did not exist.
And thanks to our women who intuitively strive for everything convenient, comfortable and aesthetically beautiful, the modern auto industry has become much better. Who knows, it is possible that the current desire of large concerns to give their models streamlined shapes, a predatory design and sophisticated headlights winking with a neon light is also inspired by the ladies?
It 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. It is a sound and objective opinion. How do you think? Women are naturally given some kind of special desire for comfort. They try to create it in everything. Therefore, the machines have the corresponding requirements. Today it is considered absolutely normal that all female cars have an “automatic machine" 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 tacking in city traffic. Finally, there it is not customary to boast of your fortune and show that you are a cut above all that you can afford a five-liter swallow.
In Russia, the situation is exactly the opposite. Our compatriots are trying to surpass their neighbors in social status. If a person is large, he will definitely sit in a big car. Have you ever seen a big girl in a little Oka? We, too, had to see this very rarely.
The best drivers
They say that the best option to refute stereotypes is to confirm their failure by their own example. Machines only for brutal macho and sophisticated women are simply incompatible. If you believe what the statistics say, it becomes clear that the ladies are much less likely to get into an accident, the more they become its victims. This, on the one hand, seems strange, especially when you see how they awkwardly unfold in narrow streets or cannot cope with ordinary parking. However, for the sake of objectivity, it should be noted that among men there are many who cannot fit into the only parking space at the hypermarket.
Dealers of famous brands noted that women very carefully choose a car. Not a single trifle will escape the female eye when choosing a dream machine. As a rule, when choosing a configuration, ladies prefer their automatic transmission, climate control, seat heating, MP3, power windows, front and side airbags, ABS and ESP. This is usually a necessary minimum. In addition to this, a women's car is often equipped with a leather interior. Other bells and whistles may 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 tiny, neat and elegant "Italian" with small slanting "eyes". The hatchback is perfect for urban use. The car is easy to park, it maneuvers perfectly in a cramped 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 activity, often moves in a large metropolis. Such a machine will be indispensable for a housewife. On it, you can happily 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.
Awesome bug
For more than one decade, beautiful women can be seen on the good old "bug". How did Volkswagen Beetle conquer our ladies? Probably, first of all, with its interesting design. The car looks very cute, and its large round headlights add some childlike immediacy to the image. By the way, it is practical and unpretentious in maintenance. In the city, she “eats” 7 liters, and on the track, like Fiat, a couple of units less. For lovers of stuffed "bugs" car manufacturers offer special versions with excellent filling. Such a Volkswagen Beetle costs 18,000 euros.
Japanese dude
And what about without the charm - baby Nissan Micra? This is a car with character. Just looking 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 is perfectly balanced, it is really pleasant to manage it in the conditions of dense city traffic.
It should be noted that manufacturers have provided in this car a lot of pleasant and useful compartments, which can easily fit a cosmetic bag or other useful female things. If we talk about the technical component of the machine, then simplicity and practicality prevail. The car is not capricious and will be dissatisfied unless in case of an untimely oil change or missed maintenance. I would like to note that all (conditionally) female automatic machines have a fairly simple and responsive. Cars instantly respond to a touch of gas. Therefore, our lovely ladies will not be late either to the beauty salon or to the sale of fashionable shoes.
Is there a female car?
Also very popular among ladies is the stylish "American" MINI. What is the reason for such an interest of women in this car? Perhaps the fact that he somehow immediately bribes. It miraculously combines simplicity and originality with a touch of some exclusivity. In terms of technical specifications and fuel consumption, MINI is not far from the models listed above. But at the price he is a leader. For a minimum set of options 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 represented in many.
As a result
In general, by and large, the concepts of “female machine” or male in its pure form simply do not exist. Perhaps the phrase “my favorite car” is more applicable. It is more true. And gender division is incorrect. A woman’s car is just that car that the lady chose. Sellers confirm this truth. It is worth noting that when a woman has an amount of $ 20,000 or more, her choice is usually no different from choosing a brutal pragmatic man. Ladies in such cases acquire spacious urban parkiniki or sports sedans. However, no matter what lovely women or our brutal men pay attention to, the most important thing is that they comply with traffic rules.
