What do you consider to be a 'girly' car?

Volkswagen Cabriolet

/Thread

I knew a number of women who drove VW Cabriolets.

Older BMW 3-series convertibles seem to be a car for a girl with rich parents.

Miata isn't so much a "girl's car" as it is a "gay man's car." :twisted:

Gay men do not drive Miatas. 90% of Miata drivers are men, and they are definitely not gay.

^ These are what gay people drive.

I don't think I've ever seen a straight guy drive a Miata.

Some actual statistics instead of people's opinions.

The Most Feminine Brands
Ranking Brand Percentage Of Female Registrants This Year
1 Lexus 57.0%
2 Hyundai 47.3%
3 Toyota 47.3%
4 Volkswagen 46.9%
5 Suzuki 45.8%


Looks like Lexus is the only predominantly female brand.

Top 10 Cars Driven by Women:

10. Chrysler Pacifica: 59.81 percent female drivers
9. Hyundai Tiburon: 60.18 percent female drivers
8. Mazda CX-7: 60.19 percent female drivers
7. Honda Pilot: 60.28 percent female drivers
6. BMW Z4: 60.31 percent female drivers
5. Nissan Versa: 60.58 percent female drivers
4. Toyota Yaris: 61.86 percent female drivers
3. Hyundai Elantra: 64.28 percent female drivers
2. Kia Spectra: 66.48 percent female drivers
1. Honda Fit: 80.46 percent female drivers


No real pattern here. Though the following should come as no surprise:

The average horsepower (hp) of a car on our list of the five most popular vehicles with men is 367; with women, it's 172.

90% of Miata drivers are men, and they are definitely not gay.

90% of stats are simply made up, like this one. Just isn't true. Not even close.

Everything front wheel drive. Also, any SUV or crossover that is automatic only. Absolutely nothing RWD do I consider a chick car. Anybody that says a Miata is a chick car drives something shitty and has gay sex with men.

I just have 3 words for you: 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado.

It's FWD with a 385hp/510lb-ft torque 455 V8. Plus it had awesome style. It's so manly it curbstomps some RWD cars.

This and only this.

You mean it torquesteers some RWD cars?

I am truly shocked that the Beetle isn't at least 60%, er, 95% driven by women. I don't think I've ever seen a man drive one.

VW Jetta, VW Cabrio

Pontiac Solstice

Toyota Echo

V6 Mustang, V6 Camaro, V6 any muscle car

Probably just based on my surroundings.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Generally anything small, stylish, and/or cute.

However, if I'm driving it, that makes it manly.

You're just not manly enough to handle the torque steer.

I knew one kid in high school that had one. He was a little...off.

Next time you see a police cruiser that also happens to be a late-model Impala, I suggest you bump into his car, bang on his window, whatever you have to do to get the cop's attention, and tell him/her that they're driving a girly car. Plz also record video of this. Thx.

Lexus IS

I'm sure you weren't talking about this one, though.

I can maybe see how people might view this car or that car as a girly car, but I can't for the life of me understand the logic behind the V6 Mustang being a "girly" car. So if you like the Mustang and you try it and then come to the conclusion that you don't really need 2 more cylinders under the hood + you don't want to pay more (higher insurance, higher price, less economy) you all the sudden lose your testicles? And aren't most Mustang sales V6 anyways?

There is just no way I can view a guy for instance driving a 3.6L 5-speed manual Mustang as a girl. As I had to make the same choice when I was looking at the CTS and the CTS-V and the CTS came out as the logical choice because I didn't need the extra power, I didn't want to pay more for insurance, I didn't want to pay more for gas just to say I have a V8 under the hood when the power of the V6 was good enough.

V6 Mustangs are still girly. They should be called Ponies.

WTF no one said Mini???

Also BMW 3 series are chick cars. Obviously that excludes the M3.

No that one too, any person with half a brain would pick an M3/C63/RS4 over that monstrosity
