    Fiat 500? You pretty much grow a vagina just being within 6 feet of one.
    I'll have a 1.2 500 sport in Grey to my name soon. Doesn't help the stereotype that i've already named it....

    Yes, it's official. But Matt drove it in the Italian job, so it's for both

    The Mini Cabrio Roadster is definitely something for men as well.

    No matter how cool a car is, or in this case how cool you think a car is a car like this will make you look gayer then Dale Winton.

    It does, there is no getting away from it. Mx-5`s are also included in this one. Im considering buying one....obviosly for other reasons. I wouldnt want to look camp.....

    Congrats

    I had one as well, but it was a 0.9l version. A very good car to have and it surprised me for a Fiat it never gave any issues

    I wouldn't base my choice of car based on what other people deem girly. Drive whatever the hell you like. I can't remember where but I read that the new mini was expected to sell more to females and it sold more to males; whereas the scirocco was expected to sell more to males and more females are buying it.

    When I passed my test I bought a mini cooper and it was a nice first car to drive, I found it quite fun. The mini is fairly impractical though, the back and boot are tiny but you would expect that. Aside from that BMW put run flat tyres on them which made a harsh ride even worse and replacement parts can be fairly expensive.

    Yeah ... sorry, but I usually don't base my taste and decisions on the verdict of people who think they can label men driving certain cars as 'gay'.

    You know that we were only talking about car models and not colour or even writing?

    We both know that it hasn't been a joke, labelling it as one in retrospect won't change that - neither does offending me personally :facepalm:

    Talking to you is about as productive as smacking my head into a wall.

    As stated, I think the mx-5 is much like this. Its a hairdressers car no doubt there.

    But im still looking to buy one.

    Stop being a tool.
