It is a well-known fact that your luxury car can give people an indicator as to what type of person you are. Different cars will tell a different story and appeal to different personalities, or at least that’s what they say. An Audi lover for example could have different characteristics to a Porsche enthusiast, and they both could have a different personality type from the typical Mercedes owner. All this might be a little stereotypical, but they are stereotypes which are embedded in the motoring society. Below are some thoughts you might want to consider when buying your new car or looking into any special offers on car leasing.

BMW 

BMW enthusiasts are people who love the performance of their cars. They drive for the enjoyment of it, and love nothing more than hitting the top speed in their luxury car; driving around that curve and feeling the handling they have at their fingertips. They are not driving their BMW because of how it looks, they are driving it because they love the feeling of driving it.

Mercedes Benz 

Someone who drives a Mercedes Benz will tend to be someone who is meticulous and has an eye for detail. They tend to worry far less about performance and speed, and more about comfort and relaxation. Flying along a country road feeling the power beneath them is going to be less of an attraction to a Mercedes Benz owner, however, that power is always a back-up if needed.

Porsche 

A Porsche lover is someone who is or wants to be successful. They are often quite intellectual car owners who tend to like to do fixes and improvements to their own car. A Porsche owner loves the sex appeal his car gives him and finds nothing better than getting a cheeky glance as they drive down the street. They will celebrate their brands racing tradition and will usually try to take the car out to quiet roads as much as they can to feel the power and acceleration their car has to offer.

Audi 

Being an Audi owner is like being a member of an exclusive club that only Audi owners know about. You are not told about this club before you get the Audi. You might be simply looking online at personal car lease options, to see what your next option is - see an Audi, and suddenly you are in the owners club instead. You will now be expected to greet other Audi owners, as only they appreciate what a special car you now both have.

Maserati 

People who drive Maseratis are wealthy, cool and confident people who buy cars for themselves. They don’t own the Maserati to impress others, it is about how it makes them feel when they drive it. A Maserati owner is not the type to let his car become a show car, they know how to enjoy life and their dream car will be taken out at every opportunity.

Aston Martin 

An Aston Martin driver will tend to be classy who knows how to enjoy the finer things in life. It is probably the coolest of the luxury cars – made so by its association with James Bond – but like a Maserati, it has not been bought to impress others, it is how it makes the owner feel when driving it.

We look into the personality of BMW, Audi, Maserati, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Aston Martin drivers and discuss What Your Luxury Car Says About You.
