Even If I average my age and my Fathers (who also has a 5) it comes to less than 50... On a more serious note, I can understand the average being high for the One, as, round here at least, it seems to be very popular among the retired. But almost every 3 you see is driven by a twenty something or thirty something, or so it seems Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Interesting stats MrMe - thanks ; btw, from 63 to 56 is a pretty big drop for an average - just shows how old the buyers of the previous models were I guess!

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Here's a good one for you.... The average age of an Audi A4 Cabriolet owner? It's 38. Of more interest though, it is the Cabriolet that attracts more female purchasers than any other. No less than 25% of A4 Cabriolet owners are females (Europe) it would appear. I always said... The closest to it is the Mercedes CLK, with 19% female owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lottiefox Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Whats the male/female split on the TT MrMe? can you tell? I think it will shatter the myth that the TT is a girls' car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I find this next one astonishing. The average age of a VW Phaeton owner? 35 Bollocks!!! They must have counted McCombie's 8 years in that one. Thirty fecking five! More like 135! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it does say that Citroen's average is made from extremes. They have lots of very old purchasers - but lots of very young purchasers too. They have a very high percentage of U-25 owners by comparison to most others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Amazing what cheap finance deals and free insurance will do to your profile - Saxo/C2 anyone But with new drivers being quoted £1k plus for cover, the monthly payment on a new Citroen with free insurance is probably not much more than paying for your insurance monthly - madness really Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
