Car Advice for Women
(and Smart Men)
Reviews in the media
Car Advice Book Tells It Like It Is - National Post
"The book's other chapters on automotive safety are also spot on, including
Law's approval of electronic stability enhancing systems, his admonishment
against using third-row seats and the effects of air bag deployment on pregnant
women.
Law's explanation of the relative merits of crash test ratings, for instance, is
alone worth the $24.95 price."

"Because safety and security have long been the primary auto-related
concerns for women, Car Advice For Women covers those issues in great
detail, offering tips on how to make your current car safer and how to pick out
the safest vehicle possible if you’re buying a new or used car."
"There’s also a significant amount of information on how to address
affordability issues, which are becoming more important as fuel costs rise."
"If you're looking for the kind of straightforward tips and insights about cars
you'd never get from car dealers or advertisement jargon, carry Car Advice for
Women close to your side -- the one where your wallet resides." and "I found so
many of the "articles" very timely and interesting (ie. pg. 108 diminishing hybrid
value)" and "I like that the book has something for all ages (ie. pg. 54 re: buying
cars for kids)" -- Katrina Ramser, Heels on Wheels columnist for
TheAutoChannel.com
...on the recent changes regarding leasing... "But leasing has other advantages
to some customers beyond small payments, according to Alexander Law and
Susan Winlaw, authors of Car Advice for Women (and Smart Men).
You can get out of a lease after three years and into something new with a
warranty, says Law, a former writer for the Star's Wheels section.
"Many people don't want a car that's older than three years and don't like the
notion of dealing with service centres or selling or trading a second-hand car.
They know it creates an opportunity for them to lose money.
"Along with the boredom factor that comes with having the same vehicle too
long, the vehicle you lease in three years will almost certainly be safer, more
fuel-efficient and deliver much better value for the dollar." -- Ellen Roseman,
Toronto Star
"There are multiple books and Web sites that cater to women, but really good
automotive advice is good advice, no matter the gender it's directed toward.
One of the better sources is a brand-new book called Car Advice For Women,
subtitled (and Smart Men)." and their web site (CarNewsForWomen.com) "also
contains a consistently updated digest of news and advice that is to some
extent directed at women, but as mentioned, so much of this world crosses
gender lines -- suggestions on saving fuel works no matter whose foot is
pressing the gas pedal.
Car Advice For Women covers the waterfront, from very accessible
explanations of technical issues, to the actual purchasing process, to what to
do if you end up with a lemon, to whether or not Volvos are really safer than
other cars. The writing is concise and conversational, the advice is sound,
regardless of gender." -- Steve Cole Smith - The Orlando Sentinel
"Because safety and security have long been the primary auto-related
concerns for women, Car Advice For Women covers these issues in great
detail, offering tips on how to make your current car safer and how to pick out
the safest vehicle possible if you're buying a new or used car." and "There's
also a significant amount of information on how to address the affordability
issues, which are becoming more significant as fuel costs rise."
Robinson/Beintema -- Mississauga Wheels section of the Mississauga News
"...this one has lots of information, all broken down into easily digestible bits. ....
It's the type of book you can pick up, flip to any page, and learn something new.
..... There's a very wide variety of topics. Call me a geek, but I think some of this
reading is fun!" by Joanne at Edmunds.com - The Driving Woman blog from
