What are “woman/women needs” in a car???

For example women are shorter on average than men (and subsequently have shorter arms, legs, fingers) so everything has to be sized and placed appropriately, like seats and seat belts, steering wheel, stalks, buttons, pedals, etc. This is not a given especially in big cars. The dash and pillars also have to be designed to maximize visibility for short drivers. Then there are the smaller things like storage spaces, being able to pull open the door handle without breaking longer nails, or to get in and out of the car even when wearing a tight dress. Things along these lines. Ask any woman who was driving 20+ years ago, they probably have a more exhaustive list.

  Even though woman on average may be shorter people from both sexes have a range of heights Seats and often steering wheel positions are adjustable.

    Right... and for every range of height women are 10+cm shorter than men. In the US the difference is 12-14cm regardless of percentile [0]. While things became more and more adjustable recently, this has not always been the case. Even on bicycles I know plenty of women who had to look for non-standard sized parts because they can't comfortably reach the brake lever while holding the grips safely. Just ask a few women who know about older cars. They can spot these issues because they had them themselves, just like you could spot why men want aggressive looking cars ;).

  Some reports say that some Japanese women like aggressive grills because looks aggressive is good feature to avoid harassments from badass on road. JDMs are really nice to make small cars to behave looks big and aggressive. example: Toyota Roomy, Toyota Esquire, Suzuki Spacia Custom
