What's Your Car Sign? Let Windsor Help You Find Your Driving Dream Valentine...
It is a well documented phenomenon that we not only attach emotionally to our cars, but that at times we personify them to the point that our interaction mirrors that of a human relationship. We name our cars, we say they have the flu when they break down, and that we have broken up with them when we trade them in for a new model! Much too has been written about how people purchase cars to match their personality. So to save you those pangs of heartache on frosty mornings and long goodbyes at the showroom this Valentine's Day, Windsor has found a fun way to help you to choose your perfect match!
What's Your Car Sign? Aries, Leo, or Scorpio...?

Dramatic yet ready for off-road adventure while getting much done at once, our Nissan Qashqai SUV with its sweeping lines and semi-dramatic appearance, elevated driving position, and multi-purpose functionality is the choice for a fellow Gemini. Engines include a petrol DIG-T 115 and a more powerful DIG-T 163 with 240Nm of torque – both of which are turbo charged. Perfect for weekend adventure and the run about town.

Cancer - Opel Grandland X
Tenacious, loyal, and persuasive our Opel Grandland X with its dynamic, safe and fun driving is a most congruent choice for a fellow Cancer.

Virgo - Peugeot 3008
Loyal, analytical and hardworking our Peugeot 3008 is an exceptionally accomplished family car. With its neat and understated exterior, yet eminently practical interior and technology this model truly is the choice of a fellow Virgo. Entry-level Active Grades are typically fitted with a 1.2-litre 131bhp petrol engine, and given that it has been awarded the prestigious European and Irish Car of the Year accolade for 2017, the widely-acclaimed Peugeot 3008 is an exceptionally upmarket choice.

Libra - Opel Insignia
Gracious, fair-minded and diplomatic our Opel Insignia with its elegant, connected and intelligent design makes your trips on the open road smoother and more enjoyable than ever.

Winner - Connected Car Awards 2018 (Auto Bild Awards)
Scorpio - Mazda MX-5
Brave, passionate and secretive our Mazda MX-5 with its sublimely sculpted exterior and distinct presence is the ultimate choice for a fellow Scorpio. The aerodynamic silhouette features ultra-contemporary KUDO – Soul of Motion design language to appeal to all your senses. A convertible hard-top also captures attention, as do cool alloy wheels and a bold exhaust. Sharp headlights and an elongated windscreen ensure that a Scopio owner will make their presence felt instantaneously.
Winner - Red Dot Award 2017
Sagittarius - Nissan X-Trail
Idealistic, freedom-loving, and generous our Nissan X-Trail with its big profile and a muscular body make the new X-Trail stand out from the crowd.

Capricorn - Peugeot 5008
Responsible, disciplined and in possession of great self control our Peugeot 5008 with its austere ambition and spec-perfect exterior and interior detail from head to toe, is the ultimate Capricorn choice.

Aquarius - New Nissan LEAF
Humanitarian, progressive and original our New Nissan LEAF 2.Zero with its zero emissions technology and intelligent mobility philosophy is a most avant-garde Aquarian choice. A part of the green revolution from the outset, this 100-percent-electric hatchback has an aerodynamic design that balances form and function. Thanks to 24kWh and 30kWh batteries, costs are as low as 2p per mile and the New LEAF has a 378-Km range. Charge it through a domestic plug socket (it takes 12 hours to do so), or Nissan’s home charging unit (four to eight hours). Switch to rapid mode and you’ll hit 80 percent charge inside 30 minutes. What a wonderful Aquarius candidate.
