I wouldn’t call myself an enthusiast, but I still like the way my car looks and I usually enjoy driving it. To me, it’s like a house - the primary purpose of a house is to provide shelter from the elements and even a very basic house can do that, but going beyond that and having a good-looking, cozy house is very important.
I wonder if minivans have a reputation as women’s cars not because women particularly like minivans but because on average women are less interested in cars than men are and therefore tend to buy the most practical ones, which often happen to be minivans. It seems sad to me, a little like being unable to taste food and therefore deciding what to eat based solely on nutritional value.
