The line graph shows the average number of cars per household in Spain, Turkey, France and Germany between 1970 and 2010.
Overall, Germany had the highest figures during all the period, while Turkey showed the most noticeable growth. In contrast, France increased first but then went down slowly after 1980.
At the beginning of the period, Germany households owned around 5 cars on average, which was much more than the other three countries. Spain and France started at a similar point, about 2 cars per family, whereas Turkey had only around 1. In the next ten years, Germany rose slightly to almost 6, but after that its number gradually decreased and reached about 5.5 in 2010.
Spain had a steady rise from 2 to aproximatly 3.5 cars throughout the whole period. Turkey also experienced a strong increase, especially after 1990, when its line went up faster and reached nearly 3 cars by 2010. France, however, peaked in 1980 at around 3.5, but then its figure continued to fall slowly and finished at just over 3.
To sum up, while Spain and Turkey showed clear upward trends, Germany stayed the leading country but with a slight decrease, and France was the only nation that ended the period lower than its peak.
