What car do I need to attract a girl?

    CBG have been giving tips on the radio about what car I shouldn't have e.g.:

    Lamborghini - Small, Loud & Attention seeking
    Ferrari - What is he compensating for?
    Banger - slipped out the back door - a girl has to have her standards!

    Can anyone give advice on what car I should get, or if there are any others I should avoid?

    (Well-meaning sociologists please don't reply)

    The Ferrari owner is probably compensating for the fact he's got a huge wallet!

    Anyway - the best car for you is called a Life, you should go out and get one.

    Buy your car to impress yourself - not women.

    I dont think i've ever met a girl that said 'oh my god, look at his car, he's so hot'

    95% of girls do not care if your car has 3 wheels or 4. As long as it doesn't smell on the inside!!

    but if i was you, one of these would do the trick;

    I'd get with you if you had a lamborghini ;)

    Forget what the eejits above have been saying. Everyone normal knows that if you want to attract the ladies you get an Austin Princess.
    G'sssss some people give such bad advice, like that lot above. I hope I've helped and that you get the girl of your dreams. No doubt with that car you will do!

    Hey Robamerc, I like the wallet bit, but you need to lighten up! I've been attractive to myself for too long!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 938 ✭✭✭blah


    Well I've noticed that girls like Nissan Micras and Ford Kas, maybe you should try one of those? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 591 ✭✭✭NBar


    If you need a car to attract women then give up, Anytime I go out with my mates and we were after meeting some very nice girls and were going on somewhere else we would always find a car that was a heap of crap and walk up to it and have the keys in your hand pretending it was your car and you should have seen the expressions on their faces, but they could not have cared less what kind of car it was. You make all the first impressions in the pub/club not out in the car park unless you are kerb crawling


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,939 ✭✭✭mikedragon32


    I think if you're looking to impress a woman, get a red car.

    Or a blue one.

    :rolleyes:

    Well, I've had about 12 bikes in the last 10 years, and the only women I seemed to attract were the hairy, rough type. There was 1 stunner alright, but only one.

    TBH OP, there's few cars that'll impress the ladies. They generally have no interest in specification, horsepower, or alloy size. From observation though, an old Mini which is in pristine condition always turns heads, or something just that little bit different to all the Focuses (Foci?) and the ilk that are out there now.

    Get a Hi-Ace and stick a mattress in the back .. the girls LOVE that

    I have to admit I take a little offence to the above threads. I'm 23 and I think I would know more about cars than the average woman. The thinking woman's boyfriend's car has to be a saab 93 convertible. In black. Cool :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭cjt156


    Girls will be impressed that you have a car.
    Women will be impressed by something understated and classy.
    Bitches will look for something flash.

    I'd be impressed if you had that Maserati; [Evil-rohypnol car theif]wanna date?[/Evil-rohypnol car theif]


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,790 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tabnabs


    The only thing worth considering if that's your criteria is a two seater classic convertible. They'll love the whole chique effect. :rolleyes:

    Fair enough I might have been a bit harsh - but it pi**es me off in this country that some people think the only reason to have a nice car is to impress other people - I buy my cars because they impress me and I'm the only one who counts.

    Sorry to rant.

    lads lads lads you're all wrong, the only car that will impress women if you show up in it, is this:


    Batmobile(01).jpg


    batsuit and cape are optional extras :D

    That's all well and good Siralfalot, but it's no use to the OP if the seats don't go back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,272 ✭✭✭✭Atomic Pineapple


    That's all well and good Siralfalot, but it's no use to the OP if the seats don't go back.

    and the lack of a passenger seat? :D

    to be honest the only age bracket of the female species that would be attracted to a fella just because of his car is the 16 - 18 bracket i think and they just want a fella with a car to bring them shopping :D

    either that or the worthless type that are out to get a man just for money :rolleyes:

    The only women that will look at your car before you, are the ones that will empty your wallet after they've emptied your scrotum. I like having my scrotum emptied as much as the next man, but my wallet wouldn't refill itself afterwards.

    Real women will think you're a wanker if you buy a car to try attract them.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭PaddyFagan


    Feel complelled to add two comments:
    1. I know a guy who drove a lotus for a few years - only ever got admiring looks from guys! (Not what he'd hoped for)
    2. Two cars I have driven have any noticable affect on women - a (red) MINI One, my wife's!, I've been stopped by women in car parks wanting to look at it, how much it cost etc - My Golf Plus!, which a large number of 30ish women in work really like (the pet theory is that for this group a "good Dad" is high on the check list and the Golf Plus is very "Family".)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,314 ✭✭✭Marcus.Aurelius


    Paddy Fagan, you don't work at Backweston Campus by any chance?!!

    Anyway, girls only see blue cars, green cars, red cars.

    Just get a red car that looks like a sports car. Make sure its understated, but classy.

    Right, I'm swapping with the Missus. I'll be beating them off with a sh1tty stick driving her V50 if the above is true. What says "good dad" better than a Volvo Estate!


    (Don't think I'll explaint the reasoning behind the swap with her though :D)

    Was thinking that alright. Someone here has a Golf plus and they do get women's attention. Can't for the life of me see why!! But I suppose its the family man image they're looking for, especially the 30 something year olds.

    As a woman, I agree - I wouldnt be phased by what car he had.

    Work on yourself, not your car. That will make the difference.

    Realistically, you dont want to be going out with a woman who is going out with your because of the car you drive.
    End of story!

    Title of thread : What car do I need to attract a girl?

    I dont think anyone thinks they'd want a bird because of the car they drive, it just gets them looking at them!

    Dr. Millah - the name gives it all away - you ARE a sociologist. Where did you buy your title? I'd like to be a professor - well, not really, but I think the women would be impressed if I was called professor (and I had the right car) and maybe could do some of that voodoo stuff.

    So far, nobody has told me what cars to avoid except Saab convertibles...
