Today's Community Question: Which car stereotypes are the most unwarranted?
The automotive community is a supportive network of car guys/girls who all share the same passion for four wheels. But that doesn’t stop us disagreeing from time to time, with many of these disagreements stemming from common stereotypes.
The automotive community is a supportive network of car guys/girls who all share the same passion for four wheels. But that doesn’t stop us disagreeing from time to time, with many of these disagreements stemming from common stereotypes. I mean, how many times have you heard that ‘MX-5s are for hairdressers’ or that ‘all Hondas are ricers’?
Granted these quips can be funny, and they’re usually made in good jest (we’ve done it plenty), but we want to know which stereotypes CTzens think are unfair and undeserved? Let us know in the comments below!

If you drive a car nicer than mine you have a small wiener, or something along those lines
French cars are unreliable, it’s not true. German are not any better.
i will say that the peugots ive worked on are less reliable than the vw and bmw ive worked on, but the worst are the italian small cars (fiat, alfa romeo etc.)
It’s the labour time required for the same job that pisses me off with most French cars in comparison!
Thank you, true.
True, but changing the belts on a Peugeot is absolute hell on earth. How can such a small engine be placed so awkwardly. I swear, the V8 in the Audi A8 is easier to service than a French car…
But I do agree, reliability is on about the same level (depending on the given model, of course). Though, at least over here in Bulgaria, it’s cheaper to own a German car than it is to own a French car. My 1.8 A4 costs about as much to maintain as a Ford Focus, or a Renault Clio. It’s freaking weird how that works here.
Oh and the stereotype that BMW drivers don’t use turn signals. It’s rubbish, I have seen 2 of them using blinkers in 2 days. Mind you, one was going straight with a blinker so maybe they don’t know how to use it :P
And the other one in the middle of the road with emergency lights on? That doesn’t count
i still saw one turn left without a signal just yesterday
The BMWs must have been stolen then xD
this is too unusual for a bmw driver - must be stolen ;)
Most of French people don’t use their blinkers, and they don’t drive a BMW but Peugeot, Renault or Citroen…
The one that gets me the most is that “Asians can’t drive”
“All Hondas are ricers,” “All imports are ricers,” “Hondas are gay,” “Muscle ALWAYS beats import,” “Convertibles are girl cars,” “Wagons and hatches are soccer mom cars”
Ummmmm… Is this how it goes?
All Hondas are rice burners in the original sense of the phrase. They’re rice burners because they come from asia where everyone eats rice…it could stop being used as a derogatory term though…
Opels are worse than VW’s… bullshit. Quite in the same league in quality
I have one! All Honda’s are gay
The classic mommavan…
“If you don’t eat your vegetables you’ll drive one of those wagon cars the rest of your life”
Pick-up/SUV drivers are assholes,Young people with fancy rides are drugdealers, that drop top BMW/Merc is you’re fathers car?
Wagons are slow😂 b*tch please
Wagons are slow and terrible. Wait, what? :D
