Here's a new one--how long does the honeymoon period with regards to a vehicle last for a man or woman? Well, Leasetrader.com has done some serious polling, 2,500 folks to be exact, and came up with a few surprising answers as to which sex loves their cars longer and when the honeymoon phase was officially over.
The honeymoon car period goes kaput for men around month four, when they start to park closer to other cars (33%) and begin flinging all of their sports junk into their trunks (22%).
As if this was a surprise, women stay three times longer in love with their vehicles than men. When do those lovey dovery feelings start to fade between a gal and her buggy? Well, when a woman lets her man drive her car (39%), the honeymoon has definitely seen better days! Another tell-tale sign for women that marks the end of their car love affair is when they start to carpool with kids for the first time (24%).
“Generally drivers living a leasing lifestyle have a shorter honeymoon period with their car,” said Sergio Stiberman, CEO and Founder of LeaseTrader.com. “Every Car Lease driver goes through this stage and LeaseTrader.com helps them get out of their unwanted lease to start a new honeymoon period with a car of their choice.”
