Car insurance for woman drivers at CoverGirl offers a quantum of solace

When you think about choosing the best car for low cost car insurance for woman drivers you tend not to think of Bond cars. Aston Martins, BMWs and Rolls Royce are the marques that come to mind for 007 and they aren't cheap to insure.

However, occasionally a Bond girl car is featured that is actually a) affordable on the budget of most women, and b) wouldn't make your woman's car insurance provider apoplectic.

Back in 1981, a tiny yellow Citroen 2CV was used (mainly for comic effect we suspect) in a high speed down hill car chase through an olive grove. Bond, played by Roger Moore, skilfully pulled out all the stops from the little car and outwitted the baddies in the memorable "For Your Eyes Only" stunt laden chase.

According to discussion on the Internet Movie Cars Database the vehicle used in the film was fitted with a flat-4 engine to give it slightly more power. And apparently, Citroen went on to produce a limited edition series of "2CV James Bond" models painted in yellow, with ‘007' emblazoned on the front doors and fake bullet hole decals running down its sides. It was also made into a popular Corgi toy.

In the new Bond flick, "Quantum of Solace", feisty Bond girl Camille, played by Olga Kurylenko drives the all new Ford Ka. Ford say the Quantum Ka is unique, with a metallic gold paint finish and an exclusive combination of exterior graphics and interior trim.

Ford of Europe's Chief Operating Officer, Stephen Odell, said, "We are delighted that the launch of the film coincides with the launch of such a significant new model for Ford of Europe. The new Ka is the perfect match for the character of Camille – adventurous, individual and thoroughly modern"

And at CoverGirl we think that description suits our woman car insurance buyers who demand the best deals on their motor cover, want to live independent lives, and need a fun car that they enjoy driving.

The all new Ford Ka 1.2l models go on sale late in 2008 and prices start from £7,995, rising to £10,195 for the 1.3l Zetec version. The Tax band is B, meaning it will cost you a minuscule £35 per year (as at Nov 2008). Although we don't have insurance grouping figures it is expected that they will still fall into the low categories of 2-4. The sport models may be as high as 6, but this makes them still ‘fairly cheap to insure'.
