The bar charts display how often and what car european people buy in 2009. The units are percentage of people who has bought or never had a car.
Overall, more than half of voted people from Europe in 2009 were changing their cars every 5 year or more and almost 70 percents of voters preferred buying a second-hand car over new ones. The least voted options are changing the car every year in the first chart and having no car in the second.
Analyzing the first chart that illustrates the consistency of changing cars, the least voted options catch the eye: under 5 percents people either buy automobile every 1-2 years, or never change, or have no car. Therefore, the most popular chosen answers are substituting the car every 3-4 year and every 5+ year with percentage of under 40 and over 50 respectively. The biggest difference is between 2 options – changing car every 5 year or more and doing that every year, where the first one is 50 times more selected.
Speaking about the second bar chart that shows what type of car (new, second-hand) do europeans get. In general they prefer buying second-hand car. The second and third popular options are new and not having one preference (sometimes new/sometimes old). The least voted is having no car.
