Does your car turn heads?

[pops and bangs]

Simple question really, does your car turn heads when you drive?

If so what car do you have?

Just curious really.

A guy at work drives something that turns heads, but what's funny is heads are turning for the wrong reasons

He has a totally chavved up ford focus, and it has an exhaust so loud it sets off car alarms every time he pulls into the car park...

Not really noticed tbh. I've been parked in restaurants before with a view of my car outside and had quite a few people having a noisy and peeking inside

[anonymous-user]

Yes. 800hp Monaro.

[VinceFox]

Not really, no. Despite the colour (estoril evo m3 coupe)

[falkster]

I found my Cortina got more looks then the M3 or 968

[myles1972]

Kids love the Impreza, but thats where the head turning ends.

[8potdave]

Not really, but i get a lot of old blokes in petrol stations looking round it and going oooohhh they dont make em like that anymore jag xj8

[MattOz]

Nope. It's a fairly anonymous grey 3 series.

[Gingerbread Man]

The Caterham get's quite a few looks. Always get let out of junctions too.

[ryanjohnstott]

My old XKR turned heads. Currently I'm using our 'dog car' (Laguna Estate) which turns the dog's head but that's about it!
Get my new XK 5.0 Supercharged on Friday which will hopefully turn heads. It certainly sounds better than the old XKR

[MKnight702]

Oh yes, very much so. Westfield XI.

[ben5732]

Yes.... White Volvo estate with a local police plate... Watch the idiots scatter in certain areas

This. But Westfield. It gets silly amounts of attention?

[TameRacingDriver]

Mine seems to. 350Z Roadster with 19" alloys. Not enough women look at it for my liking though

ETA Probably as much down to the noise as much as anything, as below.

The Cerbera does but i think thats just due to the noise it makes

[carlove]

Surprisingly, yes.
Seen a few Evo drivers looking when I drive past.
I was at PC World a few months ago and heard a worker say "That's a Ralliart!" in a shocked sounding voice, while I was in the shop he was looking out the window, when I went in the car and started the engine he came out to have a listen.
In queuing traffic on the A1 the van passenger next to me was having a good look.

[duggan]

Yes. 997 GT3 RS in "merchant banker" Orange.

[911cab]

yes I get it every day Infiniti FX30d S

[Lotusevoraboy]

Yep, bright yellow Lotus Evora, kids, youths, girls, women, old guys, other drivers, dozens every day. Few people know what it actually is, many thinking it's a Ferrari and wanting a pic. It's not the noise either, as it's very quiet. £30-40000 car that people think costs £100000.

Same as that with my CSL. If I park it in a petrol station or similar no-one really pays any attention, which suits me fine with it

My Alpina C2 Tourer (Alpina Blue with gold stripes) seems to get loads of positive attention wherever I drive it, from petrolheads and non-petrolheads, older and younger people. Seems to be a fairly non-threatening sort of image from what I can tell too, if that makes sense, as people slow down to let me out and I get a good few smiles from others in traffic
