The situation. Sometimes is he, sometimes is she. Also, in Spanish is a little more complicate because “car” is male. El coche= The car and the word “el” is used as male article. #justSpanishThings

In English it’s typical to call a machine “she” if it’s special to you

It depends … Some cars are called “she” because they are more feminine or perhaps more delicate, while “he” cars are more muscular, more masculine, less sophisticated in a way.
You wouldn’t call a Dodge Ram “she”, and I don’t suppose you’d call a Mini “he” …
But some cars just don’t fall in either of those, so it’s mostly a feeling thing.

Well my car is a he because he is a green and tan outback and is rugged and outdoorsy. His name is chuck.

I call my car old chap, or any other elderly masculine name.

I think it depends on the bond you have with the car. If you have a stronger bond with your car you start to care more about it and call it “she”.

The headlights do it for me. I think of headlights as the Eyes of a Car so what they look like actually is quite important I think.
