What do you drive? How much attention?
Discussion
The Vantage is pretty much everyone who loves the colour (divine red), young, old, male or female.
A few highlights from me:
Young kid and dad out at Hythe last year, the kid loved it. We were just leaving started it and the young kid's eyes lit up so I did give it a few revs much to a thank you from the dad.
Two ladies running of a certain age bracket, at some lights they thought I could not hear, but the window was slightly down with some lovely comments about the colour.
An older guy, out in his Z4 again we got chatting
.
My neighbour's son, has started it and given it a few revs in track mode. Much to my other neighbour's disgust I think....

lots of positive attention until one night the low life mob decided they wanted the car and borrowed it, never to be seen again, thankfully they took the car and did not break in to take in, police think they pushed it away to a low loader down the road as no one heard it start up or leave

Insight Gen 1 - All the attention, stares, people looking confused at to what this "future car" is. Every type of bloke seems to want to chat about it.
DC2 - Generally positive and those who like an old school Honda just want to hear VTEC.
944 S2 Cab - Thumbs up and smiles, but then it is Peridot Green. Then a few comments about about bile/puke colour from unfunny people
The new 2 series unfortunately had the rear modelled on a Cavalier with some BMW tailights thrown in for good measure.

My mustang has had nothing but positive attention since I've owned it and never have to wait too long to get out of junctions!
My RRS on the other hand I sometimes fear I could die of old age before I'm let out and usually get shocked looks to see me being courteous to other drivers.
My i3, despite being a loud colour, couldn't really be more invisible!

My recent cars ranked in order of attention (I've excluded the ones that get none)
Reflex purple Tuscan with loud exhaust
Bright Blue Evora S
Ginetta G33
Black Ferrari 360 (brighter colours may get more)
Alpine GTA Turbo, and Evora in storm titanium
Volvo V60 Cross Country (for an every day car, this gets a surprising number of positive comments)
Bright blue Alfa Romeo Giulia
The reactions to all of the above are overwhelmingly positive although the loud Tuscan did p
s off one or too people. Top in terms of positive comments was the Blue Evora with a surprising number of ladies making positive comments. The Ginetta caused one young lady to shout "hey you in the sexy car" before she pulled up her top and flashed her assets at me!

A 13 year old Hyundai i40 estate that gets zero looks, zero comments and zero reactions. Just the way I like it!
My 20 year old MG ZTT is a different matter. Its immaculate in X-Power grey and does elicit comments both when parked and at lights with lots of thumbs up from petrol heads that recognise and value what MG Rover achieved in the early 2000 period. The MG line, ZR, ZS, ZT and ZTT scared the pants off our German cousins.
