Sports shoes or stilettos, boyfriend jeans or evening dress, it really doesn’t matter what you wear. The important thing is to know what to do with your hands on the wheel and your feet on the pedals. Goodbye, misogynistic jokes about women needing the space of a truck to park a ladybug!
Miss Auto brings you the latest stories from the automotive world, the most useful tips for female drivers, but also car tests in a new approach, for the understanding of those who did not come into the world knowing everything about engines, axles, torque and shock absorbers. So ladies and gentlemen graduates of Letters, Foreign Languages and Philology, let’s get busy! Obeying traffic rules, obviously.
Fasten your seat belt, let’s hit the road!

Dan Athanasiu – Editor
He is one of those who believe that the car you drive, and especially if you own one, represents you, becoming unique. Psychologists can say a lot on this topic.
He had the chance to enter, almost from the beginning, in the editorial office of AutoPro, later transformed into AMS. None of the extraordinary cars he touched over three decades touched him enough to take the step to own it – it had to be unique. For this reason, what drives today has no way of being presented in the AMS. Again, psychologists can say a lot about this.
