What a Mans Car Says About Him

Let's face it: we know that women often judge men by the cars we drive. We realize that our vehicle gives the ladies clues about our income, but our car choice reveals a whole lot more than that. Most men think they're just picking a car they love -- but women can get some ideas about our lifestyle and personality just by checking out our wheels!

 The Flashy Sports Car

If this dude didn’t want people looking at him, he would have opted for a less flashy ride. That’s usually the reason most men have for buying sports cars. Men who drive sports cars care more about having a flashy, good-looking car, than a car that runs well or is good to the environment. They don’t need it to carry a lot of people, since it will usually just be them driving it on their own, or with one other person. Financially successful young men, or men going through the typical mid-life crisis (sometimes married but more often divorced), are the most frequent buyers of sports cars.

Hummer/Escalade/Jeep/SUV

 

This is the "big daddy" catagory. We like the power, size and amount of space it provides. And we aren't worried about depleting fossil fuels, either. This may not be an environmentally-friendly choice, but we love the presence it gives us on the highway. Nobody is going to push us around. These are take-charge vehicles driven by the take-charge type of guy.

Hatchbacks/Vw Golf

 

Hatchbacks are usually very small cars. Don’t worry if you have a small car. The myth of a man’s car being an extension of his penis is not true; however, having a small car does say some other things about you. Driving a small car means you’re conscious of the environment and want to help improve it, you don’t care about the impression that your car gives off to others, and your goal in a vehicle is for it to be as practical and economical as possible.

Minivan/Noah

 

Honestly, no single guy would willingly choose to drive a minivan. This vehicle is a better sign that we're wearing a wedding ring. Or we're still borrowing our mom's car.

BMW/Lexus/Mercedes

 

Luxury and performance. A guy who owns one of these babies wants precision driving, but still cares about status. We love these vehicles for their responsiveness and prestige -- and are willing to sacrifice big bucks to get it. Men who buy sedans in these brands are more conservative and conventional. If we opt for the convertible option, consider us more of a free spirit.

 

Saloon/Premio/Allions

 

While sedans appear to be strictly for the conformists of the world, the man at the wheel of a sedan sees himself as fair-minded and in favor of everyone being free to pursue what they like. He is probably more vain about his intellect than his appearance. You can make fun of him for wearing a Hawaiian shirt or for having an out of date hairstyle, but don't attempt to manipulate him as he will be furious that you thought him so stupid as to not catch your little game.

Trucks/ Pick-ups

Truck owners are practical and down-to-earth. Count on us to be around when something needs to be done... or picked up and hauled. The truck-owning man isn't into appearances -- we care more about getting things done.

Subaru

 

Subaru men are rugged and athletic. We love our sports -- skiing, boarding, surfing, biking, you name it. Women who don't love to rough it in the great outdoors should steer clear of a man driving a Subaru!
