If you're a mother you might require an SUV or vehicle with plenty of space because that is more important.
Some women prefer the stylish and elegant looking cars that boast exuberant design coupled with the latest technology.
Wheels24's Janine Van der Postan avid petrolhead shares her thoughts: "Stylish designs, impressive power figures to match and dynamics have always been key points.
