A lot of people are crazy about cars. Millions avidly watch motor sports, be it the Grand Prix, the Rally Championships or your neighborhood (illegal) drag races. There are those who watch it for the excitement and those who watch it to get tips and tricks. Bottom line is, the mania for cars and motorbikes is something that spans all ages and gender.

However, some people say that even rides have gender. Some cars are feminine while some are most definitely masculine; for your regular, run-of-the-mill there are ‘chick cars’ and there are ‘guy cars’. Taking public transportation out of the equation, let’s go over the preferences and reasons why men and women love the cars that they do.

Women’s choices are the extremes when it comes to the size of their rides. In general, single ladies prefer mini cars and sedans - cars that are easy to maneuver and park in small spaces (seemingly small spaces for those who are a bit too conscious about parallel parking). On the other hand, moms prefer spacious rides that can comfortably accommodate the entire family.

Men, no matter what the age or civil status prefer muscle cars or trucks that speak of a different type of utility from that of the women’s preference.
