Suggest a car that people don't tailgate...

[Y282]

Right, i've had two incidents in the last couple of days where ive been travelling at a decent speed, both times not too far behind the vehicle in front of me and in medium to heavy traffic. On both occasions ive had stty fronch boxes come tear arsing up behind me with nothing to gain at all. I'm starting to think the car is getting to an age where it's considered "pick-onable" by non perfomance stuff.

So, my question is, what performance car can you drive that deters your average boy racer from sitting up your arse?



Btw, i wasn't lane hogging and i'm not really interested in the inevitable holier than thou answers. Just car suggestions would be fine.

My 13 year old Focus without ABS and a well loved look

They only tailgate once

Why did I think of Irene Handl when I read the bit?

The panda 100hp seems to be one, most people assume it is a normal panda (missing the red panda badge and the 100hp lettering, on a side note the word Air on the Airbag logo things is the same font as on the 500 twin air) and is probably driven by an old person so keep their distance, the look of shock when it isn't slow off the line is entertaining.

Two-stroke is what you need. Should keep people a long way behind you:



Oh wait, you said performance car. As you were...

Volvo V60 T5 estate?

My first thought was to get a cerbera but it's getting cold out there to be pushing stuff.

Boxster? I never have any hassle.

I think people just assume they're slow, thanks to Top Gear.

That's rather a 'specialist' website you've got there

Anything you want.

Just fit a rear mounted bike rack with a couple of straps hanging down.

Add a child bike for good measure.

Bowler wildcat would probably not be tailgated by many?

Still, no harm in checking, eh?




What i really meant is what performance stuff do tailgaters look at and think "nah, f**k that, it'll eat me for breakfast".

Lancer evo? Tvr? Porsche?
