Ladies are thrifty when it comes to buying a vehicle

Take a look at some of the greatest car chase movies of all time and you’ll see men driving fast expensive cars.

Steve McQueen burns some serious rubber in a Ford Mustang, Daniel Craig puts the pedal to the metal in an elegant Aston Martin DBS and Jason Statham zooms along in a BMW735i.

It may not shock women's car insurance holders to discover that men like to emulate their film heroes by driving around in luxurious cars, or that the average man is prepared to splash out up to £14,000 on a powerful new vehicle. While women impose a spending limit of £9,000, according to research by Findyoucars.com.

Women are supposedly interested in how many children can fit on the rear seats and how much luggage can be stored in the boot. Men are apparently enticed by quick 0-60mph times and modified exhausts.

The vehicle search site claims that the majority of women drivers will be happy as long as the car comes in a pretty colour and has comfortable seats. Yeah, right!

Most men who visited the car comparison website during September were on the hunt for flashy “bimmers”. A high number of women's car insurance holders searched for basic Volkswagens.
