Cultural Tip
In French, the word 'voiture' is always feminine, so adjectives describing it must be in the feminine form (neuve, rouge, rapide, etc.). When speaking with a salesperson, a short affirmative like 'Oui, pour une voiture neuve' is common; it shows you’re ready to move forward but still leaves room for negotiation on price or options.
