What do you drive and what does it say about you ?

Lets see how Prince William does it.

But what is better than the article are the comments from readers below from people that clearly miss the point :

"My Nissan Micra might not be able to beat the traffic as easily as a RAF Chinook, but it's certainly a lot more convenient when it comes to trying find a suitable parking space."

"How about females impressing us men for a change? Like having the dinner ready as we walk through the door or keeping the kids quiet? They want helicopters, all we ask is for our slippers (warmed of course)."

If he ponders the original question about leasing or buying a car in the wee small hours then shares the problem with his friend there's something missing from this guy...

Prince William could turn up on a bloody tricycle and I'd be happy.

I really shouldn't have ditched that chap who looked like a cuter version of him with more hair, Wills is goooorgeous. Ahem.

As for the "does the car get the girl", maybe, but then it's because a certain kind of person picks a certain kind of car that goes with a certain lifestyle as a whole. If you're great on your own, the car is irrelevant. If there are "areas of compensation", the car might help.

Go ahead, flame me, I'm just being honest.

I also fancy JetLag based on her car - and all the rest.

Someone I know started dating a guy with a battered ford station wagon..... by the time the relationship fizzled, he was driving a porsche. Should she have stayed with him?

Myself, I have been known to date men with gorgeous, sporty, flash cars and men who **shock, horror** didn't have a car.

In other words, it doesn't matter and any man who measures himself by the car he drives has other serious issues.

Personally speaking that has never been a factor for me. He could have the most expensive car in the world but if he's a tosser he drops off my list.

When I got together with my husband he was driving a MK 1 VW Golf. Previous boyfriends have had:

Peddle car (OK, we were toddlers)
Citroen Visa GTi, then Fiat Tipo
Nissan Sunny, then a Toyota something or other
Rover 216
Peugeot 206

That you remember the details of these cars says something I guess
