RACQ Insurance has revealed Mackay City drivers have clear favourites when it comes to their choice of daily drives.

RACQ Insurance Executive Manager Communications, Mike Sopinski, said an analysis of insurance data identified the Toyota Landcruiser, closely followed by the Holden Commodore and the Ford Falcon, among the most popular vehicles to be found on Mackay streets.

"Car buyers consider a number of factors when selecting vehicles, with affordability among the top, if not the most important," Mr Sopinski said.

"The reliability of a vehicle is also high on the car shopping checklist, as is the overall reputation of the vehicle manufacturer.

"Personal choice, such as preferred colour, small car, large car, intended use, two doors or four doors, also influences the final decision.

"The good news for consumers is that there is plenty of used models to choose from at the moment, which also helps keep prices down.
