If you want cheap woman's car insurance, motor cover providers always recommend a small, low powered car, preferably without the wow factor that makes it a target for thieves and joy riders. And as a perfect example we have found you the most low risk car we could see on the market today.
It's slow, has a tiny engine and most cool young dudes would not be seen dead in it it's the Chevrolet Matiz 0.8 SE Auto.
We would probably refer to it as a clunk-wagon.
It's a bland looking box that will never stand out in a crowd and though that may make it hard to find in your local Tesco's car park, it also means that your average car thief is unlikely to give it a second glance as he prowls the streets looking for an easy sell-on.
Its engine has a miniscule 796cc, rendering a tip-top speed of 84mph which makes it a dead loss in a high speed car chase with the police another reason for thieves to steer clear and if you've got the time to go slower than the average milk float - it will take you a yawning 21.9 seconds to go from 062mph you'll probably be happy in the knowledge that you're unlikely to break the land speed record.
We can imagine that some people will find all this information quite endearing a small, slow, safe car that's not going to get pinched it all sounds great, but hold on to your environmental hat because the automatic Matiz has quite woeful CO2 emissions of 132g/kg. Its fuel consumption isn't anything to shout about either, considering you'll be crawling everywhere, and it's not a big car.
That brings us onto the boot space. We just hope you intend to travel light it may be pretty generous on leg room inside the cabin, but what you gain in comfort for the four of you to travel in, you lose by way of not being able to put more than a pair of slippers and toothbrush each in the boot in fact you might have to share the slippers.
There must be some positive qualities, we hear you call - well, your woman's car insurance will probably be quite cheap as it falls in the group one category, making it the cheapest to insure. Hurrah! But it will set you back for your tax disc. As it's not particularly kind to the planet, it falls in Vehicle Excise Duty band E, which means from 2010 you'll be paying £110 for a 12-month tax disc.
So, what more can we say about the Chevrolet Matiz 0.8 SE Auto We can say that the Matiz comes in eight, count them, eight different colours with the Mica hues of Apple Green and Dynamic Orange proving particularly cheery. It has a spoiler (that's a good thing?) and it will get you from A to B, just not that quickly.
But, if you absolutely must have an Automatic transmission and getting the best deal on your woman's car insurance is a priority, then the Matiz could be for you just remember where you parked it, because it's very likely to still be there when you get back
