Is suiting the car you drive a thing?

My friend was very flattered to be told yesterday that she suited the car she drove. I can’t even begin to think of factoring in whether you suit a car when buying one! (Not sure that she actually did, but still!).

Anyway - got me thinking. I drive a fiat (using the term “drive” loosely - it starts on probably 2 times out of 10). So if my fiat suits me - what am I like?!

I’m thinking there’s mileage (hah) in this for a mn game - tell us what you drive and we’ll describe you. Or pick a car and tell us what sort of owners it suits?!

Ps My lovely Ds drives an Audi - just trying to preempt any insults ...

I drive a Mazda 3 on the days I commute to work and a discovery sport on the weekend (which my dh drives during the week when he has the dc). What does that say?!

wuthering you are very outdoorsy, like camping, not afraid of hard physical work. You love animals, especially dogs. You like live gigs. You like open fires.

I have a little scruffy Micra and absolutely no interest whatsoever in what a car looks like or costs!

My car is a 17 year old blue Toyota Yaris. Any guesses what I’m like? Grin

My car is a grey Toyota Yaris covered in dings. It’s 4 years old.

Atalune · 10/10/2018 21:11

Gizmo- you have dogs and like being outdoors.

GizmoGremlin · 10/10/2018 21:14

teenybean · 10/10/2018 21:42

I have a collection of vw's including a 2018 Tiguan, a 2016 beetle, an old t2 camper & an old beetle! What does this say about me?

StillSmallVoice · 10/10/2018 21:43

I have a Golf. It looks very bland, which is appropriate for the job I do. (I.e. Doesn't attract attention). However it secretly has a really big engine and really goes. It also has leather seats, which I love. I had a lovely windfall which meant I could have a new car and pretty much choose what I wanted within reason. Have bee happy with it, and will drive it till it turns into an old banger.

Petalflowers · 10/10/2018 21:46

Teeney - you are a family who need a new modern car for the everyday stresses of life. However, in a former, child-free life, you were carefree, probably having surfing holidays in Cornwall. Part of you still retains that carefree lifestyle, hence you have kept the campervan and beetle.
