Men prefer their cars beefy or fast, while women go for lower price tags and higher miles per gallon, according to a survey released Thursday, Reuters reported.

TrueCar.com, which studied data from 8 million purchases in the United States last year, found BMW AG's Mini had the highest percentage of female buyers at 48%, while 93% of buyers for Fiat's Ferrari were men.

"The study shows that women car buyers are more cost-conscious and purchased fuel-efficient vehicles while male buyers were completely the opposite, purchasing vehicles that were either big and brawny, like a large truck, or chose a high-priced, high-performance vehicle," TrueCar analyst Jesse Toprak said. （点击路透社网站查看原文）

买车：男看外形女讲实用

       路透社报道，周四发布的一个调查表明，男人希望他们的车结实、速度快，而女人更在乎低价、省油。

       TrueCar.com对美国去年售出的800万辆车进行统计研究，发现购买宝马公司Mini车的女性比例最高，达48%；而菲亚特公司法拉利的购买者93%都是男性。

       TrueCar分析师杰西·托普拉克说：“这一研究表明女性购车者更有成本意识，喜欢买省油的车；而男性购车者则完全相反，买的车要么很大很结实，像个卡车似的，要么很贵，性能很好。”
