Where men have a tendency to drive expensive or high-horsepower cars, women trend the other way.
In a new study by Forbes Autos, women tend to look at smaller, more efficient vehicles than men do.
The cars that have the highest percentage female-primary drivers are some of the smallest, least expensive and most fuel-efficient cars on the market. Topping the list is the Honda Fit. About 80 percent of Fit cars are driven primarily by women.
"There is a significant amount of overlap between what women and men want in car design," Tim Greig, interior design manager for General Motors Global Design told Forbes. "What I've noticed in our market research, however, is that women tend to not only see the big picture but pay close attention to the details as well."
Brigid OKane, a design professor and coordinator of the Transportation Design Track program at the University of Cincinnati, told Forbes that women tend to be more open-minded toward smaller vehicles than men.
Women might be more inclined than men to buy smaller vehicles, but many prefer large models. Three sport utility vehicles made our list that takes into account both luxury and non-luxury vehicles: the Honda Pilot, the Mazdas CX-7 in eighth and the wagon-like Chrysler Pacifica.
"Women are looking for practicality and versatility," Alexander Edwards, automotive division president at consulting firm Strategic Vision, told Forbes.
