It.

Just couldn't imagine the word 'she' leaving my lips when talking about my cars.

Some people do, I just can't

Depends on the affection I have for the car - My 5 series was an 'it' - great car, but no emotion whatsoever.

My Lupo though... is a 'her' cloud9

Anyone got a 'he'?

I file people who refer to cars as 'she' in the same mental pigeonhole reserved for those who attach 'powered by fairy dust' stickers or leave a panama hat on the parcel shelf.

It is an object. There's the clue.

Personifying your car is just perverted.

'It' most of the time.

Except in pirate mode, then it's "argh, she be a reliable vessel for transporting me and me booty"

Worth it for the odd looks imo
