What Type of Car is Ideal for Filipino Women

ideal cars for women

Lets face it, men have dozens of differences from women, especially cars. Men loves cars, women don’t focus their lives on cars. Most men wants material things, and women are passionate to their crafts.

Since this is an automotive channel, you may ask, what is the best suitable car for a woman? Will it be a big van that can function as her mobile closet? Or just a simple car that can bring her from point A to point B?

If you are a woman and you also have a keen eye on vehicles, then this post is for you. Let me list down some of the best and ideal cars best suited just for the ladies!

Toyota Vios

As they say “The Fun Starts Right Here in Vios”, speaks a lot true. Yes, Vios is a people’s car and many Filipinos love this very reliable midget sedan.

You might find this car as the number one choice for Grab and taxi companies. But as I said, Vios is a reliable and efficient car, two major reasons why Vios is also for business minded individuals.

But don’t get me wrong! Vios is also the best car for women.

Aside from its low clearance (which is ideal for petite Pinays), Vios also has great handle and provides comfort to both the driver and its passengers. When we say handle, women tends to stay away from big trucks and SUVs as they are hard to maneuver and are heavy in the steering wheel.

Though not as fast as other sedans, Vios has a perfectly designed engine that provides 106 HP. Besides, women doesn’t show off speed in the streets like men do. 

Top of the line variant costs 1.09 million. Visit Toyota Phils for more information.

Honda BR-V

Want a premium CVT tranny that prioritizes safety? Well for women, the Honda BR-V fills those needs.

Women aren’t accustomed to manual transmissions (though some of you know how to drive sticks), that’s why automatic transmission is most suitable for the ladies.

Most cars have automatic transmissions, but why Honda BR-V in particular?

Well because of its good looks, better interior, and an appealing design that is made for women. Not to mention that it is said to have one of the best CVT transmissions in the industry today.

With 120 horses and 145 Newton meters of torque, the BR-V can get you from Manila to anywhere in Luzon without any hickups. 

Price starts at 1.03M to 1.15M top of the line variant. Visit Honda official site.

Subaru Forester

If you want an SUV that can get you anywhere without compromising elegance and power, then ladies, you need a Subaru Forester.

The current model is a fresh revamped though one thing is missing from its engine bay – turbo. 

But heck, does women care about turbos? Well other turbos perhaps, hehe. 

Subaru Forester isn’t an ordinary SUV for a sophisticated ladies out there. It offers a sporty design, fierce driving capabilities and has over 100 safety features that women truly wants. Not to mention the Subaru’s aggressive interior design, which they are quite known for.

Equipped with 156 horsepower that has a top speed of 193 km/h, this SUV will surely get your interest and truly a head turner. And, like most of its products, Forester is symmetrical all-wheel drive with leneartronic CVT system.

Price starts at 1.59 million up to 1.82 million. Visit Subaru Philippines for more information.

Mitsubishi Montero Sport

If you are an executive Filipina with above average body and height (as they “malaking bulas”), then you also need a big car. What would I suggest? Of course the all-new Montero Sports!

Even without suggesting this car here, I see a lot of women drive this SUV more than any other brands in the market. This is a testament to Mitsubishi’s dominance in the mid-size SUV market. 

Driving an SUV has dozens of benefits for a daily lady driver. First is its high ground clearance which most of you ladies don’t need to worry about those road bumps and holes that can damage your car. 

Next is the reliability. Mitsubishi Montero Sports doesn’t just going to provide you riding comfort, it can get you anywhere with its surprisingly powerful engine and electronic dial Super Select 4WD-II.

And yes, most of you ladies don’t have to worry about small trunk that can carry limited stuff. With Montero Sports, your all “kikay kits” and even your best buddy dog can ride with you anywhere!

Price starts at 1.77M up to 2.45M top variant 4WD. Enough of the talking and just visit Mitsubishi Philippines website for more details.

Conclusion

These four vehicles sums up my best choices for every type of Pinays today. You might be driving one of these cars right now, but if you haven’t driven the other cars on this list yet, then head over to your nearest dealer and ask for a quick test drive!
