When it comes to cars, women like Bluetooth and GPS!

by Guy J Kewney | posted on 17 October 2007


A sunroof (says a survey) is "the most over-rated feature on a car." Bluetooth, by comparison, is second highest on their "must have" list.

Top five features for a car, says John Sternal, Vice President of Marketing Communications of LeaseTrader.com are:

  1. Fold-down back seats for more storage room
  2. Bluetooth capability
  3. MP3/iPod connectivity
  4. Automatic open/close hatchback
  5. GPS technology

"It turns out, women still don't have gadget envy when it comes to car features," said the company, which helps people transfer car leases.

Sternal recently polled a number of the company's female customers on their favourite car features. "And despite all the recent hype surrounding everything technology from iPhones to WiMAX, women want functionality in a car."

Still, at least they like Bluetooth, MP3s and GPS, eh?
