Car for a beginner woman - which one to choose?

Women behind the wheel in our time feel as confident as men. However, such confidence does not come immediately, you have to accustom yourself to a car for some time, react faster to various traffic situations, and bring certain skills to automatism. In a word, a novice woman behind the wheel sometimes feels confused in the simplest situations, and all this can be displayed in the form of scratches and dents on the bumper, contemptuous glances and horns from other drivers, and, of course, jokes like “here is another blonde bought a license , and confuses the pedals.

Only one thing can be said to this - do not be upset, men also often make mistakes, and even more so for beginners. Confidence will come with time. If you have a desire to quickly gain the experience of a real professional driver, then no ridicule and jokes can stop you.

And in order for this process of adaptation to her new role as a female driver to go faster, you need to choose the right car.

Which car is suitable for a beginner woman?

The question seems simple, and the answer even more so - buy yourself a compact hatchback with an automatic transmission and ride on health. On the one hand, such a decision would look absolutely reasonable. We list all the advantages of class “A” cars:

• they are compact and maneuverable, designed specifically for the city - easy to park, you can maneuver among other cars in traffic jams;
• spacious interior - there is enough space for children in the rear seats, and for all their cosmetic accessories, the trunk, although small, will fit a package with purchases from the supermarket and there will still be room;
• relatively low cost, low maintenance, low fuel consumption.

Such hatchbacks are completed no worse than other, larger cars: there is air conditioning, airbags, hydraulic or electric power steering, and an on-board system. Well, if you still choose a model with automatic transmission, because it’s easier to figure out two pedals, then for a novice woman it will be “the very thing”. Perhaps that is why many men also ride such compact cars.

But if you look from a different angle, we will see that it is impossible to treat everyone with the same brush, you must first of all consider the reasons that made a woman buy a car:

• the desire to always keep up with your business;
• desire to show others the level of their well-being;
• desire to show off in front of their girlfriends;
• desire to feel independent.

Agree that the presence of any Daewoo Matiz or Hyundai Getz is unlikely to indicate a high level of income. With good salaries, you can save up for such a car in just a few months, and just in this case, the old truth will be confirmed that a car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation.

A woman always remains a woman, even in the matter of choosing her first car for herself. If a man will first of all pay attention to technical specifications, look under the hood and check the equipment, then for a woman the main qualities in a car are:

• beauty;
• convenience;
• salon size;
• security.

She will immediately begin to imagine how she will look behind the wheel, whether it will be convenient to look in the central mirror to touch up her lips, whether there is enough room in the cabin for all her knick-knacks. And if the issue of finance is not so acute, then we can recommend some models that are traditionally considered female:

• KIA River;
• KIA Picanto;
• Skoda Fabia;
• Renault 206 or updated Renault Clio;
• Citroen C1, C4;
• Mini One;
• Nissan Juke;
• Chevrolet Aveo New (hatchback);
• Polo;
• Ford Fiesta.

Naturally, cars with automatic weapons, as well as various additional functions, are best for a woman: cruise control, ABS - traction control, stabilization system, and so on.

Separately, it is worth noting that there is a category of successful women - businesswomen - who have achieved success in their careers and business, and even as their first car they will choose something really expensive and representative. And many can afford to hire a personal driver and not worry about anything at all.

You can give a simple advice - choose the model in which you will be comfortable. If there is no money for a car from the salon, you can also look after a used car, just ask your husband to go with you to the car market and help you choose a car that had good owners.
