With adults in the UK consuming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/uk-news\/number-takeaways-ready-meals-brits-9952952\">22 million takeaway meals<\/a> every week, it\u2019s clear that as a nation we can\u2019t get enough of quick and easy solutions for our meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some, the ultimate takeaway experience might be a walk down to \nthe local chip shop, but for those who need to travel long distances or \ncommute to work, nibbling behind the wheel can be the only option.\nHere at LeaseCar, we wanted to undertake a survey to find out just how \nmany people are eating in their vehicles after a long journey, on their \ncommute to work, and\/or in the car park at lunch time. Our survey showed\n that more than 60% of Brits find themselves eating in their cars at \nleast once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> 4 out of 10 people occasionally eat in their \ncar while driving which while not illegal could easily land you with a \ncareless driving penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these findings in mind, we set out to discover which of the UK\u2019s\n most popular cars best fits the UK\u2019s needs for consuming fast food. \nHere are our findings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE PERFECT CAR FOR TAKEAWAY MEALS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our study revealed that with a dashboard width of 92cm, four cup \nholders and footwell measurements of 70&#215;65, the beloved Kia Sportage is \nthe most practical vehicle on the market for slotting in your Bargain \nBucket or Big Mac meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that the KIA Sportage continues to be a popular \noption for motorists across the UK. The SUV was the 12th most popular \ncar in the UK in 2016, with 40,083 registrations according to the \nSociety of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the car doesn\u2019t have trays or a leather interior to reduce \nthe risks of greasy spills, we found that passengers can enjoy a massive\n feast of McDonald\u2019s food, as the KIA has space for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>11 Big Macs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9 Medium Fries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12 Medium Fries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20 ketchup dips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leasecar.uk\/images\/main\/news\/2\/10\/19\/kia1.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leasecar.uk\/images\/main\/news\/2\/10\/19\/kia2.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A CAR TO FIT EVERY NEED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, our top 3 can hold a whopping number of different types of fast food:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leasecar.uk\/car-leasing\/kia\/sportage-4x4\/\">Kia Sportage<\/a> can hold 23 Big Macs or 29 medium cokes, while still having space for 27 ketchup sachets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leasecar.uk\/car-leasing\/bmw\/3-series-estate\/\">BMW 3 Series<\/a> can hold 19 Signature Burgers and 11 Costa Grande cups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leasecar.uk\/car-leasing\/nissan\/qashqai-hatchback\/\">Nissan Qashqai<\/a> can hold 16 servings of medium fries along with 24 tomato sauce sachets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Kia Sportage is the best allrounder, many of the other cars  have their own perks to help those eating on the move. For instance, if  you\u2019re likely to spill your food, the leather interior of the BMW 3  series might be a better fit for you. Or if the door pocket is your  favourite place to stash your food, then the sizeable door pockets of  the Fiat 500 would be your best choice.  HOW DID WE JUDGE THE CARS? We considered the different areas of a car where passengers typically  eat fast food, and worked out the following criteria for a  drive-through-proof car:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Number of cup holders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dashboard depth and width<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Size of the side door pockets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Footwell size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it have an arm rest compartment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it have trays?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it have leather interior?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of windows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the cars, we looked at the best-selling cars in the UK last year and  narrowed them down to eight by considering their size and power. This  left us with the following eight cars: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ford Fiesta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nissan Qashqai<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BMW 3 Series<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Volkswagen Golf<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MINI Cooper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>KIA Sportage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vauxhall Corsa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the data was not readily available, we conducted the research \nmanually by measuring each of the areas using a tape measure. Then, to \ncompare the different cars, we allocated points (to a maximum of eight) \nfor each category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help us understand how much fast food the cars could hold, we \nmeasured containers from McDonald\u2019s, Burger King and KFC to identify \nexactly how much food can realistically be eaten in each of the \nvehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What car do you think is best for housing your fast-food or snacks on the move?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you aware of the latest laws around driving in the UK?\n\nSources\nhttp:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/best-cars\/94280\/best-selling-cars-in-the-uk-2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s no secret that the UK loves a good takeaway.
