Design

The appearance of the car largely determines the type of body. The most optimal options for women are compact sedans and hatchbacks.

But sedans can not be written off – they are safer and more practical, and also have a spacious luggage compartment.

Security

This important quality of the car should be one of the determining ones when choosing. And no matter who is driving, male or female. ABS and a minimum of 2 airbags (of course, the more the better) – the minimum set, as a rule, is already available in the basic configurations of inexpensive cars. Of course, the more security systems, the better, and therefore the presence of the following is also desirable (available in trim levels, above the base).

• Side curtains reduce the risk of injuries from a side impact;
• Active head restraints protect the neck from injuries in a collision;
• Knee airbags;
• Sensors or parking cameras help in maneuvers with a lack of space;
• The system of directional stability monitors the trajectory and does not allow the car to arbitrarily leave it;
• The help system at the start on the steep hills prevents the car from rolling back on the hill without using the brake.

Comfort

In order to understand how comfortable the salon is for you personally, you need to get behind the wheel and answer the questions of the standard checklist:

• Is it comfortable to sit in the seat?
• Not too far / close steering wheel to the chest?
• Is the steering wheel size comfortable?
• Are the pedals too far / close relative to each other?
• Is the gearshift lever conveniently located?
• Do you have to tear your back from the seat to reach the buttons on the centre console?
• Is the dashboard readable?
• Is the road visibility sufficient for moving forward and backward?

If most of the points are in your favour, then you should take a closer look at the car.

Dimensions
