Are men and woman different when they buy cars?

 

I found some really interesting points about women car buyers on a great site called AskPatty.com. Ask Patty is a site designed to help women get automotive information. From the site:

Are a women auto buyers really different from male auto buyers?

That is a resounding Yes. Here are some facts on women car buyers versus men:

• Women spend approximately 17 weeks on the new car buying process, three weeks longer than men.
• Women are more inclined to purchase cars that they consider fun-to-drive and that are well made. In contrast, men prefer vehicles that are a good value for the money, are comfortable, have nice exterior styling, good fuel economy and display a certain image.
• Women, more than men, place a high value on a vehicle's reliability, durability, passenger seating capacity, safety features and availability of four-wheel drive.
• Women rate safety as the most important aspect when shopping for new vehicles.
• Fifty-seven percent of Female buyers seek advice from automotive authorities before buying a new car.
• Female auto buyers will shop an average of three dealerships for best price and best treatment.
• One third of female buyers read an average of four automotive magazines for 12 months before purchase.
• Females place the most importance on dependability, functionality and economic factors when buying.

Also interesting: The Car Blog asks whether women customers are responsible for Honda and Toyota's success.
