11 reasons why every woman should have this car

As the wife of a critical car enthusiast, I have gained quite a bit of driving experience in various brands and models. Now I always shout very loudly that I really don't care what such a thing on wheels looks like, as long as it gets me from A to B. But when you get to drive such a nice car, which also looks stunning, you really do feel like the queen on the road. Last week I got to take a spin in the brand new Mazda MX-30. And since then, I am a fan. Believe me when I say it is truly one of the most delightful cars I have ever driven. Not convinced yet? Maybe after these 11 points, you will be, here it comes:

1. It drives electrically. The car is fully charged with alternating current in 5.5 hours or up to 80% in 40 minutes with fast charging.

2. With such a ‘full tank’ (battery, that is), you can drive 200 kilometers. The average distance for commuting is 19 kilometers. So you can easily make the round trip to work (or the tennis court or the supermarket).

3. It is produced extremely efficiently, with as little CO2 emissions as possible. A big plus for all environmental lovers.

4. Also nice is that the car seats are made from recycled PET bottles and ecological synthetic leather. Without the look of woolly socks. That's impressive! And on the dashboard, there is environmentally conscious cork, which is a nod to Mazda's origins. They used to be a cork manufacturer. Nice, right?!

5. It steers as lightly as a feather, without feeling fragile. This is due to the battery pack that weighs only 310 kilos instead of the 1000 to 1200 kilos of other electric cars.  You glide through the corners and accelerate the fastest at the traffic light. Soundlessly, because it's electric. And oh, that's so delightful.

6. Because the doors open in opposite directions, it's super easy to get in when you're sitting in the back.

7. You can fit quite a bit of luggage in the trunk. Think of shopping crates, a golf bag, a stroller, etc.

8. On the dashboard, there is a display that you can operate with a touchscreen.

9. You drive automatic. Long live never having to shift again.

10. It gives those handy beeps when you're too close to another car or while parking.

11. The Mazda MX-30 looks super chic and cool and comes in various colors. You really make a splash on the road. Zipping is no longer an issue and all heads turn your way. Go ahead and practice waving.
