What are some UK car stereotypes?

The Nova and Saxo guys follow a couple of paths depending on finances. BMW 120D, remapped with DPF removed for the poverty guys. Lexus IS200 for the discernable middle income riff raff, and it has to be a Skyline for the successful ones.

Alas, the age of the girlfriend will remain the same🙂

It was the early 2000's when page 3 had their minimum model age raised to 18 by law.

If you have a 90s daily star in the loft there's a good chance the topless girl is 16 and you have child porn in your possession.

The papers used to print glamour shots of the girls in underwear at 15 with countdowns until their 16th birthday.

AND THIS WAS UP UNTIL LIKE 2003

Jazz drivers are usually in the middle lane going 40mph with death grip on the wheel, with zero awareness of what’s around them. Or pottering around in 2nd gear at 20mph on a NSL road on the way to the garden centre for a cup of tea and a parking scrape or 3

Volvo XC90/BMW X5/Mercedes GLE = mum on her way to drop Jemima off at a school, then off to brunch with the girls and a hairdresser. Dressed head to toe in sweaty betty gear that has never seen a drop of sweat. Special move: Block two lanes of traffic while unloading.

Audi RS3 = 25 yr old Haroon. Don’t ask the finer points of his insurance coverage. Knows his car can do 95mph comfortably, and will do so going past a primary school. Special move: Multi fatality collision.

Honda Jazz = 80 yr old Muriel who only takes it to the Co-Op on Sundays. 2014 plate with 1200 miles but has had 5 new clutches. Will not under any circumstances exceed 40mph. Special move: Unexplained emergency stop.

Fiat 500 = 19 yr old Jade. Her first car. Needed it to get to her job at a nail salon. Despite her manicured appearance, the inside of it will look like a bin behind McDonalds. Never seen without a Starbucks cup, IPhone or mascara brush in hand. Special move: Rear end shunt while TilTokking

Audi A4/Tesla/BMW 3 series = 30 yr old Shaun. Got the car through work after his promotion to regional deputy vice lead of Sales and Marketing for the North East including Lincolnshire. He’s finally made it in life, he’s simply too successful now to bother with things like indicators or the inner two motorway lanes. Special move: can cut two lanes for any motorway exit.

Skoda Octavia = 45 yr old Daniel. The dullest man alive. Treats the Highway Code as a religious tome. Has done everything he was ever supposed to do in life. Last had a moment of fun since 1997, not entirely sure he wants to repeat the experience. Special move: will upload the dashcam footage to a FB page if he sees anything not up to his demanding standards.

Yup...and then they meet me, in my battle scarred little Nissan. There isn't a panel anywhere on that car that doesn't have some sort of damage, all caused by other people. Like the guy in the Range rover who decided driving down the oncoming traffic lane, the wrong side of a traffic island, would save him time. I think he expected me to pull over...but we met at the traffic island. He yelled and he blustered, shook his fist and even did the jerk forward like he was going to ram me ....But I wasn't going to reverse, and neither was the line of traffic behind me. At that point he got a good look at my vehicle.... so he reversed. Unfortunately, the traffic had filled the spot he pulled out of. He couldn't park at the curb die to tell double red lines....he had to back up quite a distance. I was getting nods of approval from the other drivers as we slowly headed him backwards. It was quite amusing.

Seconded. The thing that gets me is that (AFAIK) the knobby Tesla drivers have had to go into the settings and turn things off to be able to cut lanes without indicating.

Oooh no no no.

Tesla are far far worse. The owners think they've bought a similar premium product, which some mid to higher model BMW, Mercedes and Audis are.

How on earth people think they are "premium" is beyond me. Its normally people who know nothing about cars, and they've believed all the online shill marketing.

i’ve been doing some research on the school run, so far the majority of SUVs or crossovers ive seen only have one baby or child seat. so based on that they’ve got 1 child or 1 child who needs a child car seat and another child who is old enough to not need a car seat, in which case they don’t need a car that big.

The other sister bought a Peugeot 3008 (I think that’s the suv one) when she has her second but their previous car was a Fiat punto! Definitely more space in the Peugeot…

I’m gonna get slaughtered for this especially on this sub. But it’s just a lot easier to get kids and stuff in a decent sized suv. And the roads in this country are so horrendously abysmal that I hate driving my hatchback now as I feel like I’m on a fucking assault course. When I had my suv it was just a much nicer driving experience both in terms of space and how it handled the shit roads.

Yes I understand that the suv will cause more damage to the already crap roads, but unfortunately I’m a selfish prick and think they won’t fix the roads anyway so better just look after myself. I will be going back to an SUV pretty soon and ditching the hatchback.

Ford - doesnt give a.cunt about their motor, or they care alot. Almost never inbetween. (ST variants are always modded with dogshit mods)

Audi - Anything from A3 to A5 are normally "send it cuzzy" until they blow the car up. A6 and upwards are usually pretty ok drivers (RS being exception)

Merc - Often chill drivers until they get the AMG badge on there. Then they just drive like cocks.

BMW - Almost always trying to climb into your boot. Dodgy under/overtakes, never maintain their cars and wonder why it ends up sweating "performance" and costing in the thousands.

Land Rover - Usually driven by mums on school run, just wanted a gangster looking car. Until a mechanic tell them its the biggest financial mistakr theyve likely ever made in their life (Ingenium 2.0 engines = doh fucking shite)

Lexus - I often see actual native africans people driving these, smooth ride. Smooth drivers, sadly often hogging lane 3/4.

Hackney Carriage - Dont ever play chicken with one because you will always lose (unless they have passangers)

Tesla - Often ok drivers, until they realise how fast they actually pull then they start driving like knobs. Cant ever figure out why they randomly brake all the time (yeah i understand regenerative braking but dont fucking do it on the motorway)

Toyota - Often chilled drivers when it comes to their cars, truck drivers are a different story though.

Nissan- usually mums and kids in a Qashqai not often do you see them driven like they stole it. Unless they have a Godzilla then just get tf out the way because itll be gone sooner rather than later.

His dad saying it's safe because it's small and slow. They'd still get to 70-80mph and were about as safe in a crash as a wet paper bag. His dad wasn't thinking about safety, he just couldn't afford anything more.

Having driven ford ranger (for its intended purpose), I will testify to this. They handle like drunken elephants, you can't see jack shit out of them and ironically (considering their size) the driver's compartment felt like it was designed for hobbits.

There's no way in hell you'd want to drive one in a surburban neighbourhood unless you wanted to make a statement.

Particular-Bid-1640@reddit

I work around construction sites and exactly that. Unless you're going off-road a transit tipper is superior for carrying capacity, passenger capacity, fuel efficiency, and they have the same towing capacity.

Most only go across fields anyway which a 4wd tipper would do, and barely any I've worked at do that, being equipped with road tyres - they just drop the tracked chipper or bobcat off at the gate.

BorderlineWire@reddit

Nissan Leafs are like this too, we have them at work and the things are far too opinionated. The amount of times it’s slammed the emergency breaks on for absolutely no reason at all is unreal. It also starts shouting any time another car gets anywhere near you, or really any time it thinks anything at all.

The annoying thing is, the one time it actually could have been forgiven for slamming on the breaks it didn’t even notice the deer. A rain drop or a bit of dirt or something though? We’re all going to die. Don’t worry about the guy tailgating, got to emergency stop for that bit of rubbish that just floated past.

One had the gall to show up at a local council meeting to complain about dog shit on the village hall field.

This probably isn't going to be popular, but in the defence of BMW/Audi drivers, I notice that ones that drive like arseholes tend to be the ones driving about in older models that are at least 12 years old, that were a bargain because they've (car and driver) got all sorts of complex issues.
