Cars driven by people who own them outright, pay for their own fuel and repairs, and clean them at the weekends.

Correct answer, I reckon.

Complete bks, I reckon.

I fit the demographic, but it's also an Audi. Does that mean I'm a good driver (I have IAM and RoSPA on four wheels and two respectively, I'll have you know), or a badge-snob, driving-hating scrote (did I miss any)?

Easiest to spot these when riding a bike as they either cant overtake, close pass or pass then brake to turn left because they’re incompetent rather than malicious. There is no ‘best’ but among the worst:

Little Honda/Kia/Hyundai/Nissans (inclusive of 40 everywhere)
Older Zafira/Picasso’s (also 40 everywhere)
Virtually every Qashqai and Kia Sportage (also 40 everywhere)
Audis with wind deflectors on the windows (not a joke)
Any car with the driver wearing a hat (worse if a beard is added)
Vans, usually trades rather than delivery (usually malicious)
Any SUV driven by a yellow hared orange faced woman
Older Audi A3 with DIY black rims and windows.
BMW and Subaru’s in any sort of convoy

Reading the other posts I would agree that proper sports cars tend to be driven well, no tailgating, good overtaking and observation, and not any more likely to be speeding than the above list.

This aligns closely with my own observations whilst riding a bike or driving.

I would add to the list the (always) white A1/A-Class/1-series driven (passively) by young person (mostly, but not exclusively, female) more interested in their phone screen than the road. Erratic acceleration & braking, digital use of the steering, running wide on urban bends and no apparent forward observation.

Yes, cleaning the car at the weekends is a definite sign of some sort of perversion.

I find that defender drivers tend to be courteous and drive well.
I've never seen a badly driven Subaru legacy either

I take it you are new here...

Would have thought the whole point of driving well on the roads is that you are instantly forgettable too

I haven't noticed much in the way of silly antics from ... Toyotas ...

Uber

Exactly, and it's not just Uber.

At least in London, is there a Prius driver alive who is not a minicab driver and a complete and utter selfish cocksocket when out and about? I'm looking at you, Addison Lee, BTW.

Ah. Fair comment. I'm fortunate enough to live and work in non-Uber areas so very rarely encounter them!

I’m a better driver than most other idiots on the road dawdling around.... I don’t know about you but I would rather be driving behind a Subaru driving to the NSL and not behind idiots breaking every 5 seconds doing 30 or 40 (or less in many instances) unable to overtake $hit

Mazdas only seen one rx8 being driven badly (knuckledraggers can't afford to put petrol in them). Mx5's aswell always well driven

That's a good shout actually.

On the flip side - Ford people carriers, some of the angriest driving I've witnessed.

Lotus and VX220s seem to be the best driven of all cars...only owned by enthusiasts and driven well,....dheads seem to be drawn more towards high powered cars

This, every day of the week

Vauxhall Zafira drivers have surely got to be up there too?!

Congratulations, you have the most boring videos on YouTube! You must be very proud of your efforts. No wonder you turn the comments off

Who told you that?

[anonymous-user]

I'm struggling to pin point a model, I suppose Lexus considering they're driven by older demographic but they sometimes slip into dawdlers.

Alfa, yes I suppose. Saab, well I once saw the worst most dangerous overtake by a 9-3 driver and now they're slipping into bangerdom and those connotations.

Would have to agree with the Lotus suggestion too.

Thanks for the latest video. I was going to watch a film with the missus tonight but we found this far more entertaining.

I'm not convinced you are, even though you seem to be!

I'd rather be driving behind anything driving to the NSL, even if it was a Subaru - but I'd much rather it was another well-driven BMW!

Still in the words of the Rolling Stones "You can't always get what you want"!
