i knew one aunty who used to drive a Bolero. my best friend she drives a pajero (3 door) and a safari. my own aunt drives an X5 occasionally and refuses to drive any other car.
i dont think it has anything to do with their structure or frame or that they are not good drivers ( trust me some of them are better than the guys). like most of us have said it is the traffic conditions, saveing yourself the headache to find parking for a bigger car espesially when the go to the markets, that women opt for smaller cars. my mother wants a small car just for the market and has not let us change her car for that reason.
we dont put psychological barriers or misguide anyone. we put our point across and if you feel the ladies of the house can control or is capable of handling a big car then you buy it for them. my friend has even driven my Cadillac which is 16 feet long and 6 feet wide and also a left hand drive.

@ snaronikar there are men who drive that way too, so i would not hold it against a women. men and cars go together so there is the confidence, women and cars are forced together so the confidence is a little low but some do get there.
