Survey on buying vehicles in Romania
Half of the Romanian drivers have postponed buying a new car or have chosen a cheaper one because of the coronavirus pandemic. That is the conclusion of a survey concerning habits of buying new cares, carried out in countries like Romania, the Check Republic, Hungary and Turkey. According to the survey, among the most important aspects taken into consideration by drivers in our country when choosing a car are safety -70%, the price – 68% and fuel consumption. The brand is very important, especially for those between the ages of 20 and 29. A steady increase of interest may be seen in buying electric and hybrid cars but also for alternative fuels but, on the other hand, Romanians don’t want to by a car online. The survey was carried out in September and October 2020, on 570 Romanian drivers.
