A side note to this.
The sales rep in the Ford dealership was a young woman I'd guess same age as my daughter so mid twenties. Just as competent at explaining the car to me as her male compatriot of same age at Skoda and rather better than the older guy at Toyota.
Did make me think about her safety jumping in cars with all sorts of guys over whom there's little scope for any sort of background checks and being driven round a route at least half of which was rural lanes. Case of Suzy Lamplugh and others down the years hi-light danger to women who are lone workers.
Probably had a phone with a tracker in her pocket but I wonder how else the employer manages the risk.
