The survey is; was conducted within a representative sample of the adult national population , and brought to light the fact that in the selection phase, rationality; has the better of the rest: the first feature that almost one in two Italians looks at during the purchase phase is; by far the price , with women showing themselves more & ugrave; attentive to how much you spend (51.4%) together with the over 65 category (56.4%), while it matters less to young people (under 24 interests 44.4% of the sample) and 54 years old (41.8%).

Looking instead at the areas of Italy, in the south and in the islands, cars with low consumption are more; you want that elsewhere.

In third place among the aspects that are most considered when choosing a car there is; the first factor for cos & igrave; to say irrational, or at least less rational than others: the frieze on the hood, the brand . 32.7% admitted to having chosen the car on the basis of the manufacturer, and the most; sensitive to the issue were once again under 24 (37%). Then there are the management costs in a broad sense, therefore insurance, maintenance, tires, fuel etc., which confirms that 18% of the sample has looked carefully.

On the other characteristics, major differences emerge. For men they are more & ugrave; the technological equipment is important (21% of men say this, 15.3% among women) and the power of the engine (16.1% against 9.2 %), while the female universe is more interested in of the fact that the car has dimensions contained (19.5% against 11.1%). Even more; the percentage of those who claim to choose on the basis of space is lowavailable inside (14.2%), and it still falls on the size of the luggage compartment (13.8%) with an important peak for & ograve; in the range of motorists between 35 and 44 years (almost 20%).

The internet has revolutionized several things, including the phase of choosing a car. And this is certified by the second part of the survey that crowns internet (used by 6 out of 10 Italians) among the media that are consulted most during the choice phase.

I most sites visited are those of manufacturers (38.5%) followed by specialized magazines (27.6%) and advertising portals (15.4%).
