CITROËN OUR LIVES INSIDE OUR CARS
EUROPEAN SURVEY – AUGUST 2016 – SPANISH RESULTS
THE PURPOSE
CARS ... There has always been much talk about their performance, their engines, their beauty, their body shapes or even their technological innovations, which are constantly becoming more sophisticated. But have we ever truly been interested in what is happening inside a car? What we do in it, what we experience in it, how we live in it. Not really. This is why Citroën, a brand imprinted in the heart of millions of motorists, recognised for the comfort it offers to its clients and committed within the PSA group in defining tomorrow’s motoring, wanted to mark its difference on the subject. Citroën has therefore conducted an exclusive study with CSA Research in seven European countries* on the relationship between Europeans and cars: how much time do we spend in a car? How many times do we make love in it? How many times do we have to repeat "we’ll be there soon"? How many times do we argue in it? How many times do we clear our mind in it? How many times do we laugh histerically? Etc. Citroën lets you discover in this file everything Spanish people do in a car over the course of their life! *Study carried out July-August 2016 on samples of around 500 people aged 15 years and above in seven countries in Europe: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom.
