What does your car say about you? You are not so much what you eat as what you drive. Just like dogs supposedly look like their owners, cars are an extension of ourselves. You might not look like your car for obvious reasons, but most people choose a vehicle based on how they see themselves, want to be, and want to be seen by others.
We all know the stereotypes on the road, but is there any truth to them? A recent YouGov profiling exercise drew these conclusions about what sort of people are drawn to which vehicles. Drivers of Volkswagens are most likely to be male, between 40 and 59, from Wales and into Rugby Union and trekking. Wow, that is pretty specific!
Vauxhall drivers will be the same gender and age as Volkswagen drivers but will hail from East Anglia, be into DIY, and do their shopping at Asda. They will be busy walking their dogs before watching the football on the telly. Do you know a Vauxhall driver who does this?
Toyota drivers seem to have the same profile as Alan Partridge! Skoda drivers are most likely dog owners with messy cars. They are older, can be found in Northern Scotland, and are most likely ex-military. Whatever you drive or tow, be sure to use quality Trailer Parts from https://autoandtrailer.com
Now onto the ladies; Renault’s are more likely to be seen with an older lady behind the wheel who shops at Aldi and has a cat. Minis are for the thirty-somethings who drive around London and work in marketing. They enjoy exercise, tennis, and also owning cats!
We all know a few exceptions to the rules, as there always are. There are brand associations, but with each manufacturer having ranges to suit different needs, it’s not easy to target all drivers of a particular brand with the same brush.
