Skoda recently conducted some research in to how company cars are chosen.
When asked who they consult with when choosing a company car, nearly half of drivers said their partner is their first port of call – a quarter of men seek their wife’s opinions (39%) and over half of women (51%) chat through options with their husbands.
Meanwhile, in around one in seven households (15%), children get a say – with many of those surveyed claiming their kids’ opinions matter most.
In general, men seek fewer opinions than women, with 11% claiming they don’t consult anyone at all. Conversely, more than a third of women (35%) ask for opinions from as many people as possible, even probing colleagues and friends about what they think.
Nearly half of company car drivers take children to and from school (47%) in their ‘work wheels’, while almost three quarters (73%) ferry their kids to social occasions and sports practice every week.
In June 2016, Skoda occupied the top two positions in the Carbuyer guide to the best family cars, with the ŠKODA Superb Estate in 1st place and the Skoda Octavia Estate in 2nd. To find out more about the ŠKODA range, visit www.skoda.co.uk.
