Colour 'could be important for car insurance customers'

Female motorists have long been derided for basing their choice of new car on colour.

Now new research has suggested people who want to avoid making a motor insurance claim may be well-advised to take the shade of a vehicle into account when making a purchase.

Research by digital motoring magazine iMotor revealed grey cars were more prone to breaking down than models in any other colour.

However, editor Mat Watson has said there could be a reasonable explanation behind these findings.

He claimed hire vehicles and company cars are often grey as they tend to look newer for longer.

Mr Watson explained as these cars tend to cover more miles than the average motor it would be understandable if they required roadside assistance on a more regular basis.

"Then again, grey cars could just be cursed," he added.

This is a quite interesting research on the correlation of car colour and car insurance. Do you have a grey car? Maybe, you should consider this. :)
