Whether you work a nine-to-five job, have a family to take care of or are studying full time, finding the right car for you is very important. If you’re thinking to yourself, “I should sell my car with Auto Traderâ€, and feel that an upgrade is absolutely necessary, then there are a number of great value new and used cars which are ideal for women who lead busy lifestyles and need something to make it all a little bit easier.
Small city cars which are perfect for getting to and from work are often features in Auto Trader’s used car sales. Buying a recent model such as a Chevrolet Matiz for as little as £1000 seems too good to be true, but, despite the reduced price, you get all the features you would expect to find with a brand new model.
Chevrolet stopped producing the Matiz in 2009, and as a result, prices of later models are falling, representing great value. With five doors and a comfortable ride, you can’t go wrong.
Affordability is very important when looking for the ideal car, especially when it comes to running costs. City cars are small, cheap and many of them are surprisingly spacious and fun to drive.
One such model which fits all those criteria is the Mini Cooper. This updated version of the British classic has endeared itself to women all over because of its stylish looks, fun drive and surprising amount of features including good fuel economy. Unlike some superminis and city cars, performance isn’t an issue as it works just as well on motorways as it does around town.
Functionality is important with any car, but there’s no reason why you can’t buy one purely for pleasure. The Vauxhall Tigra, an entry-level convertible car, can be bought for less than £2000 if used, and has a great ride as well as numerous features and surprisingly good fuel economy.
