Personally, I think women put way too much emphasis on cars sometimes. Some women will completely refuse a guy based on his choice of automobile. Some men don't really have a choice, especially if they're still in high school or college. Do women realize this?
I don't care at all what kind of car a guy drives . But I do NOTICE . Why ? Because it tells me so much about the guy . A 35 year old guy driving a beat-up old Chevy is telling the world "I'm short on money and down on my luck" . An 18 year old guy driving a Porsche screams out "spoiled brat" . A 50 year old guy driving a Maserati -- well, we all know what that means, right ? Sure, there are exceptions, and sometimes these first impressions are all wrong . But they are right often enough to be useful . And we all know how important first impressions are . So, again, I don't care what a guy drives . But I sure do notice . And I'll bet most other girls do, too .
I personally don't care what kinda of car they drive most of the time my car is nicer then theirs and I'm still in high school. I know money doesn't grow on trees and that they are expensive. just because they can't afford a nice car doesn't mean they are not a good guy. I don't care what they drive or if they drive at all for that matter.
I don't really think it matters to MOST girls. I don't personally care. My last boyfriend drove a total junker and sometimes didn't even have that when it broke haha. We dated for 2 years. I will admit though that this past week when I guy I like came to pick me up in a really big/nice SUV I was surprised and strangely turned on. But- it was just a plus I think. I'd still like him even if he had a moped I think haha. Don't worry about it.
Personally I think people judge other people too much. As long as a guy takes car of his car I don't car how old or what make it is.
Example: If his car is clean inside and it's well taken car of then that tells me something about him. Now. If a guy buys a flashy car and leaves trash hanging around under the seats that shows me that he wants to show off and that he's a slob. Flashy car or not the guy is unattractive.
I never cared about the car that my Boyfriend drove, but he definitely did! It was an extremely fast car, probably too fast for him to handle and because of it we got in a massive 6 car accident and were both flown to shock trauma. (I'm crying right now thinking of it) but let me be the first to tell you that your car does not matter as much as you think it does. He didn't have to impress me by driving fast and could have been driving a total klunker and I would still have loved him :]
I definitely think guys care a lot more about this one than girls do. Having a car is a plus. I don't really care what it is your driving. That said, I dated this guy a while back who could only afford a pretty beat up vehicle at the time, but he figured out how to install a totally kick ass sound system (not one made for a car) all by himself. It didn't really matter to me one way or another, but the fact he obviously cared about it and had put a good bit of effort into it impressed me much more than an expensive car would have!
Well to me it doesn't matter. Hey a car is a car, it will still get you where you want to go won't it? So don't sweat over having the nice car, it really doesn't matter.
Thank you... lol finally someone has the same insight as me - 6 months ago

And personally for me, the more odd and out of place the car is, the more fun it is to drive. Like my parents 1970 something mercury zephyr, painted fecal brown with wood paneling and gold trim, was the funniest car to go around in acting "cool." xD hahah - 6 months ago
Honestly I've never cared about the car he drives. I actually think it's kind of cute if they're driving a hunk of junk and they're paying for it and they're proud of it. If they have a nice car, in high school it usually means they're not paying for it and their parents are. And to me this just leads me to believe their personality is shallow.
It's the stuck up girls who care about what a guy drives. I don't think anyone has the right to judge anyones car because that just falls under immaturity. As long as it gets you from point a to point b what's wrong with it? :
To me it doesn't matter what kind of car a guy drives. The man makes the car, not the car makes the man. If he is a good person or has something else going for him what he drives isn't all that important.
I couldn't possibly care less what kind of car a guy has. At college, I'm just glad if a guy has a car (you can pretty much get anything you need at my university within walking distance of campus or the popular off-campus neighborhoods, so a lot of people don't have cars). One of my friends last year had access to his older brother's car, and since freshmen weren't allowed to have cars on campus, even though it wasn't exactly the flashiest vehicle, the mere fact that he had access to one made him extremely popular!
and I know what you're saying about people not having a choice of automobile. I could not afford to buy a car in high school, but I was eventually given one by my great aunt. It used to be hers, but she could not see to drive anymore, and it was a stereotypical grandmother car that was older than I am! But I still drive it today, and it gets me from a to b without trouble, so I don't worry about it.
sure, I'd be initially impressed if my date came to pick me up in a murcielago, but at the same time, I'd wonder what he felt he had to prove. Or if perhaps he was compensating. ;) at any rate, I'd get the impression that he came from a loaded family and just wanted to show off, so in the long run, I think -too- nice of a car for your age is actually a turn-off for me. I'd much rather see a guy with a car he worked hard to buy, even if it's not exactly the greatest.
I think its a big deal because what would you rather be seen in. An old pick up truck or a mustang or something nice? I would choose the mustang any day. My brother is only 18 and he has a mustang. He used to have an old pick up truck so he saved up money, got a job and it was only like 5 thousand dollars. So in the end he showed his responsibility. And if you can't afford a nice car for 5 grand. What girl is going to want you?
