1 In 3 Young People More Likely To Date A Car Owner

If you are a 17-25 year old car owner your wheels could help you to get a date.

More than 1 in 3 young adults (34%) feel that young people who can drive and have a car are more sexy than non-drivers, and more likely to get a boyfriend/girlfriend, according to a new survey by Confused.com.

Over 1 in 3 (35%) told the price comparison site that having a car and being able to drive will improve your chances of getting a date with them. It doesn’t matter too much what kind of car it is though: only 12% of young adults admit to dating someone because of the car they drive - the majority (65%) say that it’s ‘really shallow’ to date someone because of the car they drive.

Well over 1 in 3 young adults (40%) told them that you are more likely to get a boyfriend or girlfriend if you have a car and can drive while 12% think that the better car you drive the better sex life you have. Women are more likely than men to look for a partner who can drive, with 39% of 17-25 year olds saying they are more likely to date a driver than a non-driver, compared to just 24% of young men. 1 in 2 young men (51%) think that they are more likely to get a girlfriend or boyfriend if they have a car, compared to just 36% of young women.

When it comes to sex, 18% of young men think that the better car you drive, the better sex life you have, while only 9% of women surveyed think this is true.

Talking about money and the cost of driving then insurance costs are the highest barrier among young people wanting to get behind the wheel: higher even than the cost of buying the car.

Gareth Kloet, Head of Car Insurance at Confused.com said: "Getting a car is a sign of growing up and becoming an adult for many people in their late teens and early twenties."
