Women drive SUVs for practical reasons... getting big families around and loading the larger cars with groceries or bags for trips. And that’s why the SUVs that sell with women are more practical in every way. The Honda Element is a crossover SUV that gets 18 miles per gallon in city traffic and 23 on the highway on the manual model and 20 mpgs city, 25 highway in the automatic model, proving that women are more impressed by environmental friendliness and fuel economy than they are with rugged performance. And the Element is a very affordable car for its size, with a base price of under 19,000 dollars. The SUV's boxy design may not look like it will take you off roading on dusty Texas trails... but it can fit more cargo or give passengers more leg room, which is really the point of a big car in the first place. 57 percent of registered Element owners are female, proving that women are more interested in how a car can make their lives easier than if it will take them for a rocky mountain ride through rugged terrain.... which is just another way of saying we're a little bit smarter.
