Most girls that I know are not car nuts. That doesn't mean they are "stupid". They simply look at a Yaris parked next to a Sky and which car would they want to hop in? Please... a convertible will always win.

I love my Yaris dearly, but it ain't no chick magnet. Which is a good thing since I'm married.

The Sky is sexy, the Yaris is cute.

Now if you were ditching the Yaris for a Camaro or a LeBaron convertible, then I would be asking you to get your head examined.

Come on Kimona, get with reality. Quality is not something you can see, only by research. Most folk look at the Yaris as a small economy car, not as a sexy sports car. I'm not bashing the Yaris at all.

I love my Yaris and I do know quite a bit about cars - BTW.

All the rims and body kits in the world won't make a Yaris look any less of what it is, a small economy car. If you think the Yaris is a chick magnet, then buddy, you are fooling yourself... except maybe Earth Day groupie chicks.

Also, I see lots of Miatas on the road, and they just all look the same to me now, but a Sky or Solstice always catches my eye. Reviews of both have not been all that terrible.

Also true of the people you will be dating!

Loving a car is such a big part of the choice--logic don't always enter into it.

Tekmoe, whatever you get, I hope you love it as much as I do my Yaris.

Yaris may not be a chick magnet but if I ever saw a guy with a Saturn or a Ford, I'm always going to have a negative thought about him in the back of my mind. That said, cars shouldn't be the chick magnet.. it should be YOU.. the guy who should be doing the magnetizing. Seriously, if you got a hot car with zero personality, then don't expect anything long term.

I guess I'm old. Young girls may know more about cars now. When I was a teenager, it was the guy that picked up the girl, but the car sealed the deal. If he is single and wants to drive a convertible over a Yaris, hey it can't hurt, right... The Yaris is very cute, and he could catch a cute girl that may come up to ask about it. Actually, come to think of it, the Yaris is much less intimidating than a hot convertible and girls like Sherryberry might come over to comment on it's cuteness. Who knows. Just like fishing, you got to choose the right bait for the type of fish you want to catch.

Man, you sound as though you have zero experience with girls....like a 7th grader or something. You tie what a man drives to his chances with the ladies, and that is plain sad.

If you were a high quality guy, you could drive an old junked AMC Pacer and still get lots of dates!

It's not the car, it's the driver!

By the way, what void do you hope to be compensating for, with that Saturn?

pavel has an opinion yes but there is some truth in what he says sometimes.

I also believe that a guy shouldn't rely on a car to get the girls.. that's just sad. I'd rather a guy try to get me because they like me not because they think they can with their expensive car. I look for personality.. besides, cars can change at any time. I've gone through different cars.. so can any other guy. Any girl who is with a guy for his car or money is shallow and not worth it in the long run. Pssh, in my experience, girls are more shallow than guys.

Could it be that SherryBerry is one of the few mature people on this site? Otherwise the most of you guys act like you're 15 years old or worse.

Getting a car to attract chicks...thinking of buying 4 Camero's....no wonder our American society is going to shit.

Ok, now off my soap box.....

My opinion is woman that go for men with sport cars are mostly high maintenance women and not worth the time and energy. As long as you give them what they want there happy. Tell them "no" and there gone.
Now, this Yaris is a chick magnet. ( Got to make this post a little less serious )

Yes especially if the girl's name is Lois Lane

I do have to agree with the absurdity of using a car to get chicks. When I met my wife, I drove an 89 Ford Escort. Obviously not a chick magnet. She fell in love with me for who I am. Been married for 10 years, with 3 great kids, and at the risk of sickening people, have an awesome sex life. I couldn't imagine having that now, if she was attracted to my car first...

I met my wife driving a baby blue 1988 Civic Hatchback, I have 2 awesome kids. Come to think of it that Civic did kick ass...

I got plenty of tail while driving a:
Datsun 810 (POS rust bucket)
Ford Fiesta (loved it)
1975 Lincoln Continental (sweet car actually)
Buick Regal (very nice)
Honda Civics (all 3 of them)
