Ever wondered which kind of car fits your personality? Possibly not – but now, thanks to us, you can know for sure! Take this personality quiz for a spin to see which brand you’d be.
1. What’s your idea of a perfect vacation?
A) Hiking through the muddy mountains – anything that brings you closer to Mother Nature and gets you very dirty in the process.
B) Paris, Venice, Cologne – somewhere European with a bit of culture and sophistication.
C) Butlins, Center Parcs, or how about a weekend at Alton Towers? Anywhere close – as long as you don’t have to reach into your wallet for the plane tickets, you’re happy.
D) A weekend away from the family and work at a luxury spa, getting every pampering treatment known to man.
E) A midweek drinking trip to Edinburgh because Thursday morning work hangovers are great fun.
2. You’re at the bar. What’s your poison?
A) A pint of lager and you don’t mind which brand. You’re a man – lager is lager.
B) A dry martini, complete with an olive – shaken and not stirred.
C) You’d love a diet coke if they’ve got it, and no, Pepsi’s not alright. Accept no substitutes.
D) Cocktails all round! You don’t care what’s in it as long as it comes with an umbrella and a twisty straw.
E) Double vodka and coke. Wait a minute – does this place do triples?
3. Your friends are going to the cinema, what are you hoping you’ll get to see?
A) The latest action film – doesn’t matter what, as long as there are plenty of guns, explosions and scantily clad ladies
B) The latest Sundance award winner – in Spanish with subtitles, obviously.
C) A family-friendly comedy, probably rated-U. We did say with your friends and not your kids, right?
D) The latest rom-com/chick flick – you don’t care if that’s not what everyone had in mind, that’s what’s happening.
E) You’re not so worried about the movie, you just hope the guy who takes your tickets doesn’t find those 4 cans in your bag before you get a chance to crack them open.
4. How are you with money?
A) You spend what you like when you like, even when it’s not your money!

C) You try your best to save for that gadget you’ve got your eye on, but something more important always comes up first and you choose practicality over novelty every time.
D) You have enough to manage – you’d like a little more but you love buying new things and showing them off so you never manage to save.
E) What money? Every penny you have seems to mysteriously disappear – you’d rather spend it on good times than good stuff.
5. You’ve got a problem stopping you from moving forward – how do you deal with it?
A) STRAIGHT THROUGH IT! Or over it – you’ll just brute force your way past the problem. Violence is always the answer.

C) Just keep doing what you’re doing. The problem will probably definitely just solve itself.

Done? Tally up your As, Bs and Cs and see how you fared.
Mostly As
Hummer: you’re the brute, the big guy, the one who won’t let anything get in his way.
Mostly Bs
Aston Martin: just like James Bond. Smart, sophisticated, licensed to thrill.
Mostly Cs
Skoda: you’re not a frontrunner, you don’t stand out in a crowd – but you’re reliable and honest, and that’s the way you like it.
Mostly Ds
Mazda: the girliest of our manufacturers – that’s fine, if you’re a woman. If not, you might want to take the test again for the sake of your reputation.
Mostly Es
Mini: Not the Clubman, not the new Mini. You’re an old Mini – cheap to insure, cheap to repair, cheap to modify. Ideal for today’s young, cash-strapped driver.
