What does your choice of car say about you?

What does your choice of car say about you?

Are you a shrinking violet or a larger than life show off? Or perhaps you fall somewhere in between!

 

What makes life interesting is how different we all are – take car choice for  example. How many times has a friend got a new car and you’ve thought ‘oh no, I wouldn’t drive that!’ Chances are they’ve thought the same about your choices too. Some people say that modern cars are all looking very similar – but looking at the thousands of cars available to lease on CarContractHire.com we’d have to disagree.

 

From the retro styling of the Fiat 500 to the glamour of the Range Rover and the quirky cool of the Citreon C3 there’s something to suit every taste. 

 

Did you know that there has been research carried out into the colour of your car revealing things about your personality? It can actually work as a “psychological shortcut” that expresses how we want the world to think about us.

Red is often the color chosen by those who have a zest for life. They are outgoing, aggressive, fun, and impulsive — or they’re someone who wants to be those things! If your car is red, you’re most likely ambitious and determined to get all you can out of life.

If you have a grey car, you don’t want to stand out. Grey is also the colour of caution and compromise. You’d prefer life to run on an even keel rather than with big ups and downs.

If you like a silver car, you’re practical, innovative, business-savvy, and have good taste. The neutral colour camouflages dirt on the car, which is great for your busy lifestyle. You most likely enjoy your job or field of work, but you do have a tendency to work a little too hard.

If you own a blue car, you are compassionate, optimistic, stable, honest, and serene. You like to be admired for strong sense of self and wisdom.

If you have a green car, you have a very strong sense of self and don’t care what others think of you. Green is also closely associated with nature, so you may pull over when you see a beautiful landscape — and you’d like to fill your car with more environmentally-friendly fuel.

Yellow and gold are the colors of joy and happiness. So if this is your car’s color, you definitely live by the mantra, “Don’t worry, be happy.” You are imaginative, wise, have a good sense of humor, and a great mind for business.

If your car is black, you are dignified and striking without being showy. You want to give the appearance of mystery, but you may be longing for more depth in your life. Yet, you are still timeless, important, and always in control.

White is the most popular colour on the UK’s roads currently. It is associated with honesty and purity. If your car is white, you have taste and elegance and strive for perfection. Yet sometimes you find yourself longing for a more simple life. If you’re driving a white car, you want to present a fresh, young, modern face to the outside world.
