In my wifey's case, she feels more comfortable driving the Gypsy rather than the Palio S10 in Bangalore traffic. She feels that the *perceived* bigger size and ruggedness of the Gypsy is an advantage while driving.

And just to add that the driving involves the famed Hosur Road/Bomanahalli Junction and at times I was worried about my wifey driving the Gypsy and would rather have drive the Palio S10, but I have to take her word for what she feels comfortable driving in.

I do agree that driving comfort and vehicle choice should not be generalized based on gender.

I thought that almost all the ladies and young women liked big cars and SUV's! Especially the CRV which is mostly seen driven by Women. At least here in Bangalore
I agree. My wifey just loves the CRV and has shortlisted that as her next buy. She just doesn't want to drive a sedan/hatchback..
