My wife loves her car, it has the Bose, Akra exhaust and heated seats

I second the 'no opinion as long as it works' view, I think she thinks it's neat it has air con/cruise and a Bluetooth radio(aftermarket) etc, but would much rather I had something slower, German and about 10 years newer!
Oh and I get told I spend too much money on it in tax/insurance/servicing! [emoji389]

Women generally love German cars. And Golfs and Audi's. Buy any form of Golf or Audi and she'll say 'Oh i really like Golf's, i was going to buy a Golf instead of my car.'

Fact.

If its black, grey or white even better.
 
Agree with the above! My ex used to be embarrassed by my Clio 182 and often called it a boy racer's car. When I later got a Golf and then a 3 series she loved them though. My current car is a 172 cup (not the reason she's now my ex btw ;)

Haha, that colour choice is so accurate it's unbelievable! I'm searching for a new car for her at the moment and nothing will get a look in unless it's black, grey or white!
 
My Mrs liked my old 182 when we first met, but grew tired of it pretty quickly - as did I to be fair.

She hates her current car (Passat) but loves my current car (A3) so takes that whenever she can, leaving me with her messy car :(
 
My mrs love my X5 , comfy with heated seats .
She doent like going fast so hated my Porsche , the R8 she likes but again get told not to go fast...
She liked the colour of my RB clio and will probably never be in my new one but again likes the colour lol
 
Mrs likes being passenger in mine if going along slowly. Hates the noise when WoT, hates driving it. Far too fast, apparently.
 
Mines referred to as “the s!#tty little Clio” by the misses[emoji23] I think it’s growing on her[emoji849]

The missus and pretty much my entire family refuse to get in my car because the suspension is too hard innit.

My ex loved mine. Even painted me a model of it for my birthday. Ordered the sport model from France as couldn't get it here, got the Arctic blue paint mixed up for me then painted it by hand. Even got the half cage in the back there made from ear bud sticks. Sunstrip, bonnet ties, harnesses made out of painted blue tackle pieces haha
 
I managed to get mine on track once on the Clio, think she was just intreeged by what it was all about. She thought the Clio was loud, harsh and stupid. Prefered it when I too the orange wheels off. She much prefers the E34 I currently have as we can use it more, I couldn't see why we couldn't use the Clio more, it was one of the best cars I had owned and driven.

She has to drive my Octavia vRS and thinks that is massive, but thinks A3's, Golfs and Leons are better sized.... Although I have convinced her that I'm going to get an Austin Metro for her to drive mainly so I can have it when she can afford something to drop a 1.8 VVC in it. I even said the browner/beige the better and she agreed....I don't think she knows about the engine swap plan, might keep that from her.
 
Not sure if she likes it, it's too low, not comfortable after an hour, too big.... But great on motorways and overtaking & warm days with the roof down around the rural back roads.
 
My wife likes driving my RB182. Hated driving the Ph1 172.

Both were/are on coilovers, spacers and solid mounts. She just said that the 172 was hard to drive. Felt like hard work, yet finds the 182 easier.

Probably drove the ph1 -10 times, has driven the 182 more. Even drove it back from CSF. We swap cars if I decide I want to take hers to work, long journeys without her, etc.

She knows my pet hate of kerbed wheels and so far, so good!
 
Yes, she bloody loves it. I think she loves the BMW more but that's mainly a heated seat issue
 
Mrs likes the Clio 172, i wouldnt say love- thats my department :-)
Fitted a corbeau Clubsport in passenger seat and she seems to like that too, which is good cos I attend about 10 shows/track days a year, and she comes to half of them

She Luuuurrvs the Golf R, but that goes back in 3 weeks LOL
 
No, she hates/hated all of them. Only one she liked was the boring 330ci.
Think she hates the hobbyist side of it more though - lots of time and money 'wasted' apparently :)
 
I’ve been really lucky that my missus loves the Clio and she really loves going to Motorsport events and Trackdays. However she doesn’t like going in the car on trackdays as she gets real bad motion sickness.
 
My Mrs don't particularly like the clio. She hates what I've done to it rather than actually hating the car. She moans it's to noisy and bumpy which it is [emoji28][emoji28]

I end up slating her mini as it makes me feel better when she chews my ear off about the clio

I had an ex, she was really into cars, but she had an IQ of a pineapple. Can't have it both ways....
