Car makes and models and their driver stereotypes…

[Cyrus1971]

I know I stereotype drivers somewhat. Volvo estate, Saxo on steroids and other such chav chariots, overloaded Nissan Micra, Merc E220 D, etc etc etc. I do judge it on the driver though. Plenty of slowly and well driven Porsches out there.

Anyway I was wondering what stereotypes other PH’ers would be willing to admit they attach to certain cars and car brands ?

Flaming and gross generalisations welcome !

Porsche drivers = bunch of s








(I'm joking...I drive a type-r...doesn't start unless I have the baseball cap at the correct backward facing angle)

Honda drivers are 2 types - coffin dodgers doing 23mph every where or yobs

BMW drivers........

Citroen Picasso Drivers. Either they are psychotic or are driven to it by driving them!!!!

MINI drivers. Up their own arse women that believe they are far prettier and more important than they actually are. Usually with sunglasses that cover up most of their face.

I once saw a woman in a Citroen picasso driving along the motorway with the remains of a tyre on her front left rim. I couldn't warn her or anything because I was just leaving the motorway when I spotted her, but there were sparks, and lots of seesawing from the car....

BMW drivers have gotten a lot better in recent years. The worst culprits always drive the 18 or 20d models...

Although recently with their latest offerings, my perception is changing and am starting to like Morgan

Erm, Corsa drivers? Chav boy racers.

Don't you love stereotypes?

+1 To that. I'd also like to add to that with 'Likely received the Mini as a gift from daddy or well off other halve who just gets them what they want'

I saw a Plus 8 the other day and the driver was exactly as you described

VW Transporter drivers, they're either scenester wannabes or people who wanted but couldn't afford a T2.

Ford Focus's, driven mostly by office bods who say "can I get?" in shops etc and watch Friends/Will & Grace.

Audi drivers are all



For similar reasons to the (improving) BMW owners. (maybe the kn0b fleet drivers are all flocking to Audi???)

Volvo estate

What about them? I moved from impreza's for 10 years to a volvo estate (albeit a v50 t5) and drive no differently from when I had the STi. Maybe take it a little easier on the corners due to no awd.

And you haven't seen me, or you'd have got the irony
