It's funny to read all the women say.. oh it doesn't matter. I can say from experience, after owning lots of different cars.. yes it does, but women just don't want to appear shallow. Women will judge a man by first appearances often, their first impression tells them if they want to continue talking to the guy. It's not always the car exactly.. but does the car fit the guy, and what the women is looking for. Each car got different reactions. My parents always had nice cars, and I remember being younger (like 22), and looking like a kid, and driving my dad's Range Rover, and I looked like I was driving my parents car. I later had a Mustang, and women would actually pull up to me while driving, and talk to me, all flirting.. that didn't happen when I had a yellow Suziki Areo (usually women were like, why didn't you buy a real car?). Then I had a few VW's while not sexy.. I came off as practical, and not super cheap, good and reliable. Now I have an Audi.. and of course women now see me as sophisticated and established. It's fairly easy to see the reactions when I pull up to a Target, or restaurant alone.. women look, and smile. Women look at me when they are in their boyfriends beater.. and you can tell the guy is annoyed, and the women don't care.. they can fantasize. Younger women want sexy fun, like a sports car, older women want succesful and established.. or if they are practical types.. a practical safe reliable car. It depends on the type of women, but yes.. they do use car as a way to size up are you what they are looking for.

i normaly drive a 1987 honda prelude but as of now I'm driving a toyota supra. neither car has made a diffrence on weather or not I could pick up chicks. my girlfriend doesn't care if I had a car or not. they girl who base a guy on car are usuly the same girls you don't want for the most part. my brother for example had to drive a pos because with his old car he was picking up tooo many speeding tickets and didn't have the money to buy a new car. that alowed him to save the money to buy a new car an now he's driving a new scion. but when he was in the pos he didn't have any problem picking up chicks. he stilll brought home new girls all the time.
doesn't matter what car a guy drives. but it shoudl be in good condition, clean & tidy, and you can tell that he maintains the car in top form, then it's all good. BUT, the KIND of car a guy drives does give me some sort of a perspective into his personality. I would prefer to date a guy who has his own car - it shows he is self-sufficient. but of course certain things do have to come into consideration if I were to use his car to kind of know what kinda guy he is, for example, a student or a starving musician (or whatever) would usually have no car or a really old beat up car. I can list a lot of examples but I don't have all day ;p
I was getting afraid that nobody said anything about trucks. Of course the vehicle is not remotely close to what I judge a guy on, but seeing a guy in a Ford pick-up truck that looks like he actually gets up off his butt and does something fun/crazy/laborous is a plus... but you also have the guys who get the idea that there all that in the trucks... one of the many reasons not to judge solely on the vehicle... if it's a classic car then it shows the guy has style, and good taste.
As for the van, um, kinda scary the van you described, but hey man, if you got a 60's VW bus... ROCK ON! I'd so dig that!
yes it matters, but I'm not looking for a guy driving a flashy car, I don't like big spoilers, chrome wheels, special paint jobs, and neon lights. I don't like Mustangs (though I don't mind Camaros or Chargers) and I don't like guys driving giant SUVs. I guess ideally, I'd like a guy driving something like a Ford Fusion or a Toyota Rav4 or Honda Civic. but girls like me aren't very common, most girls could care less about what you drive as long as it's clean (clean is very important), has seat belts and brakes.

Sports car are best for guys to drive. Convertibles are hot. My fave cars are the orange ford focus sport, the white audi R8, yellow audi TT, grey honda civic, green VW. Usually, white cars are the hottest. And it might seem shallow-but I wouldn't date someone with an embarassing drive.

it doesn't make someone more attractive if they drive a nice car, but they may catch my attention quicker.it doesn't matter what a girls drives, because I usually like to give them rides.. but
girls who drive big ass trucks or SUVs are a complete turn off.. in fact, I can't even look at anyone driving those kinds vehicles... I say, unless you don't fit in a normal car or your a construction worker or some kinda tow truck business owner, those kinds trucks are just annoying.. and especially irritating when girls drive them.I don't care what a person drives.
If someone is judging their relationship or potential relationship on what the other person drives, they are operating on a level of shallowness that cannot be competed with.
And if a person I was dating ever disclosed this as criteria, I would lose them like a set a car keys.it doesn't matter what car they have...its all about the personality to my liking...
looks are a plus!
style is a plus!
anything else materialistic is a plus, which includes a nice car! but it doesn't take away anything, just adds more to the goodness overall...The person is what matters not the car. I can't lie jeeps, sports cars, and especially big trucks catch my eye but that's because those kind fit my dream cars. As a southern girl its def a plus to meet a guy with a sexy truck
wow sounds just like my best friends boyfriends car, and apparntly it doesn't matter to her because she still loves him eventhough his car is a peace of crap.
I think a bad car might be a turn off, just like an really expensive car would be a turn on for girls. If its just an average car I don't think it'd make much difference.
The car really doesn't make a guy more attractive. Even if I love the car it won't make an unattractive guy attractive in my eyes.
Trucks are a major plus... not the like expensive brand spankin new chromed out ones though. A regular chevy truck is always a nice plus :)
The Batmobile is my ride of choice. Who needs traffic when you have high tech heat seeking missles? haha XD
I am just happy if they drive! I don't care what kind of car they own.
I don't ccare about the type of car-but I would care if there was old mcdonals food molding away and it was gross inside
