Survey: Male car buyers prefer style, women opt for fuel efficiency

Interesting!

Quote:
The survey by MyCarCheck.com, which questioned more than 500 UK car buyers on a range of preferences, found that both men and women put the price of a new car at the top of their priorities.

However, gender differences were revealed when it came to their second priority, with 355 male respondents opting for “look and style” and 190 female respondents going for “fuel efficiency”.

I can't think of anyone who prioritizes fuel efficiency (even in 2nd place) in car purchases.
