- low cost of maintaining a car - the owner of a small car annually saves a significant part of the family budget on transport tax, insurance policy, repairs and maintenance of his small car;
- design - small cars, as a rule, are distinguished by a catchy design and rich, bright body colors - with such a car you will not be able to get lost in the flow of city cars, which is very pleasing to the fair sex;
- affordable price of the car - of course, there are small cars for which you will have to pay a large sum, but as a rule, most of them are inexpensive and available for purchase by the average car owner.

Where to start choosing a car for a woman
The beautiful half of humanity has become a full-fledged participant in road traffic, joining the ranks of male motorists. But not all cars are suitable for women. In many models, they will feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable in the frantic city traffic.
Therefore, the best option is small-sized machines, as they are commonly called.
But small size is not a defining characteristic. After all, when choosing a car, you should focus on a number of parameters:
- efficiency - small cars consume less fuel, which allows you to save the family budget even with active and regular movements around the city or outside of it;
- maneuverability – women by nature have a hard time feeling the dimensions of a car, so small-sized models make it easy to park, avoid obstacles and confidently maneuver in traffic;
- low cost of maintenance – small cars are usually inexpensive to repair, maintain and insure;
- design - ladies' stylish cars stand out on the roads with catchy colors, interesting design solutions and patterns;
- accessibility - a car for a woman most often becomes a second car for the family, so its cost is in many cases of decisive importance.
In addition to the listed characteristics, you should not lose sight of:
- safety;
- reliability.
When choosing a car for a friend, wife or daughter, you need to pay special attention to additional features that will make driving safer:
- automatic transmission;
- ABS;
- climate control;
- power steering and more.
If compact cars get into even a minor accident, they can suffer serious damage.
Therefore, confidence in the reliability of the vehicle means peace of mind for both the car enthusiast herself and her loved ones.

To accelerate to hundreds, the EX35 will need no more than 6.9 seconds, and the maximum capability reaches 230 km/h. The choice of configuration depends on the capabilities of buyers.
Let's sum it up

Moreover, today the choice of cars is constantly expanding, all manufacturers are trying to present cute hatchbacks, nice SUVs and real crossovers, as well as true jeeps for women. Therefore, choosing becomes increasingly difficult. However, you can safely give preference to one of the crossovers described today in our review.

However, the Koreans also began to actively approach the podium and take first places in sales in a variety of classes. Therefore, today it is no longer so important what country your car is from. Much more important is how you feel when you get behind the wheel. Which crossover from the ones presented above would you choose as a gift for your holiday from a loved one?

- 2-liter turbocharged;
