Car insurance survey reveals vehicle accessories that make an impression

19/02/07

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, a car insurance company has published a new study that questions which car accessories are most likely to appeal to the opposite sex.
 
And the survey of motoring likes and dislikes, from elderly car insurance specialist Saga Motor Insurance, has found that almost half of over-50s might be impressed by a vehicle accessory.
 
More specifically, it appears that designer upholstery is one of the most appealing vehicle add-ons available.
 
Some 32 per cent admit that their heads could be turned if the other half turns up in a car with leather seats.
 
Another high-specification feature that elderly car insurance customers may wish to consider is applying to get the vehicle registration plate to spell out a partner's name or a romantic phrase.
 
According to the car insurance company's poll, 21 per cent confess that they would be impressed if their partner paid for personalised licence plates.
 
Less positively, it appears that older drivers who have shelled out on tinted windows or lowered suspension may need to have a rethink, since over-50s admitted that these were among their biggest turn-offs.
 
However, all of these pale into significance when compared to the issue of whether a lover should display fluffy dice above the dashboard.
 
A resounding 98 per cent of over-50s assert that the presence of fluffy dice would not make them more inclined to think positively of their owner.
 
Specification upgrades such as leather seating may need to be arranged at a specialist car dealership.
 
However, car insurance customers looking to reinvent themselves this Valentine's Day can find low-budget accessories such as fluffy dice at automotive retail shops across the UK.
