CarLady News LogoCarLady News reports on the Female Factor in Cars

What do women really want in a car? How different are their criteria from men when it comes to their vehicles?

A women driver wants a car that is safe, relatively inexpensive, has extended warranties and service plans and is easy to handle. 

While men still retain a fondness for gas-guzzlers, women are very concerned about fuel economy and also feel that smaller cars can be as safe as larger ones if they are built well. 

Women versus Men. Mars Versus Venus. While their needs are very similar, their priorities is where the difference comes in.

CarLady News was developed to give the woman's point of view on the advantages of new car and truck models. And perhaps it will nudge the car manufacturers reading this towards the options that appeal
most to women. Give us feedback on our
