There have been many different studies over the years with regards to the large array of car drivers we have around the world. However, a Swiss Association of Car Distributors survey highlighted the different types of car drivers and we thought it would be interesting to see in which category you believe you belong.
The four different types of drivers include: –
- Pragmatists
This type of car driver is very adaptable to their environment and will choose alternatives to car transport as and when applicable. They are not overly environmentally cautious and believe that the outlook of car drivers has to change before there is a need for more environmentally friendly vehicles.
- Environmentalist
This group of drivers is very much in favour of helping the environment, reducing harmful emissions and making vehicles are small as possible. They are often willing to join environmental campaigns and assist with reducing the array of emissions from vehicles of today for the good of the future.
- Comfort
While in their minds the comfort driver group appreciate the benefits of helping the environment, at the end of the day their final choice will be determined by comfort and cost.
- Prestige
This class of driver is very much orientated by the cost of a vehicle and what it has to offer. They are not necessarily bothered about the environment and believe this is more a technology issue as oppose to an issue which society needs to tackle.
While it is maybe not as straightforward as it seems to place each and every driver within a particular category, broadly, in which category would you place yourself?
