If you are at this group then you already know what it is but consider this... One thing the automobile industry has never been able to do is create the perfect chick car.
Show me a car that has everything that women want. "I want! ... I want! ..." (sounds like my wife talking.)
What options/equipment would it have?
Design a car no woman can resist.
I think it can't be done. Tell you why later. Can you do it? What do you think?
It isn't "perfect" and we don't own one and don't know if we will, but currently she is coveting an Escape hybrid. Seriously. Says it can haul some things, lift height is perfect for her and it's reasonably green. Says the seats and driving position are good. Has to climb a bit to get in one and that's the only negative.
Here, the veto is issued on anything that doesn't have the higest possible trim level along with a place, immediately to her right, to place her purse. (Rules out anything with an arm rest or center console.)
I don't think there is enough time in ones life. if you think you can figure out what a woman wants, then you have way too much wasted time on your hands. ya might as well try to figure out when "yes" means "no" and "no" means "yes".
At this point in my life with women, it is best I do not suggest or design such a vehicle.
I'll reference this below.

Text: Dear Margo,
Your answer to the 55 year old wife with the 60 year old husband on his flirting missed one important point. Is it the wife's fault? A lot of women reach that point in their lives where they become overbearing, uncaring, unresponsive, and quite simply, a real pain to live with. Yet they think they are still "perfect". After years of living in such a life, many men begin to wonder if there is life elsewhere. Some leave, some cheat, some flirt, some fantasize. This isn't an excuse or an attempt to say it is right, but sometimes, the blame has to go where it belongs - the wife.
Right now, my wife hasn't had sex with me in four years. I don't drink, run around, be gone all the time, or ignore the family. Yet she constantly blows up about things. She exploded the other night because I was looking at convertibles to buy. For the first time in 30 years, I have not required a truck, van, SUV, or station wagon for family or work, and so I wanted to let the top down for a change. I'm tired of driving a truck. And the convertible was going to be cheaper than the old man's car. It wasn't taking money out of anyone's mouth or purse. I have been looking, and telling her, for about three months.
The other night she exploded, acted like it was the first time she had heard it, can't understand why I can't get an old man's car, and said she was going to take all the cash out of the bank to buy her dream car.
I'm not looking for other women and I'm not hanging around other women, but I am getting tired of how she acts. This has been going on for about six years now and she is in her early 50s.
And I'm not alone. A friend has not slept in the same bed as his wife in six years, is faithful, at home, does all a good father should, brings in the paycheck, and so on, yet the wife constantly berates him to everyone. He isn't perfect, but he isn't nearly what she says.
Another friend has a similar situation.
So before you blame the husband, take a careful look at the wife next time.
------------ Thanks Dad, I forgot about he fuel and maintenance part--just too ingrained during the last 56 years (43 years of marriage preceded by 13 years of 'gender shock').
Here's a tip on the interior mirrors. Accumulated cigarette smoke scum used to do the job but we got too old to smoke. Now I just leave Windex residue on the interior mirrors 8-).
