With your next big date coming up, you may be working up the nerve to ask out that hot barista or the co-worker you’ve been flirting with for months. If you’ve landed a first date, whether it’s on Valentine’s or a random Tuesday, you’ll want to focus on that all-important first impression. Your date’s mind may be made up about you as soon as she sees your car pull up into the driveway. Do you really want to be associated with a beat-up Plymouth Voyager? No, no you don’t. The following are five options to make a strong statement, or simply ferry about your date in style and class.
1. Smart Fortwo
Do you want to show your date that you care about the environment, but find the Prius a bit too humourless and dowdy? Try taking the lady to the latest raw food restaurant in a SMART Fortwo, which is cute and quirky – just like you! Its cosy confines ensure that you’ll be getting comfortable with one another straight away as an added bonus.
2. Ford Mustang
If you’ve been set up on a blind date or don’t know too much about your date, one of the safest options is to show up in a Ford Mustang. This is a classic option that everyone loves to drive and take a spin in alike. Driving a classic car also shows that you’re capable of care and commitment, but be sure that you’ve had it serviced recently to avoid any unfortunately timed breakdowns. And also make sure to have the proper insurance. Check out Youi Australia Car Insurance for affordable rates.
3. Alfa Romeo Giulietta
Driving an Alfa Romeo shows the world that you have refined taste, but specifically choosing the Giulietta hatchback shows that you’re not too flashy about it. You can find Alfa Romeo offers at an affordable price, although from the sleek lines of this sporty vehicle your date will think it cost you far more.
4. Jeep Wrangler
If you want to showcase your outdoorsy side, the Jeep Wrangler is a good option. It’s well suited to bad weather if you run into a Valentine’s Day hailstorm, and can also handle rugged terrain for a first date spent hiking or picnicking in a secluded spot. You can always remove the top for a bit of fresh air and to admire the stars, or simply use it to cruise around town and country alike in style.
5. Aston Martin Vanquish
When you really want to pull out all the stops, the Aston Martin Vanquish is a perfect option. You (and your date) may recognize it as the car driven by James Bond in “Die Another Day,” which is an association that can only help your chances of making a suave first impression. This British-made vehicle can reach top speeds while the interior is plush and comfortable with details like hand-stitched leather.
Splashing out on one of these vehicles for your first date will ensure that the scene is set for romance, no matter what your destination may be.
Nice list! I drove a black pick up truck in TX, so that what I picked Laurie up when taking her on dates. It didn’t have AC, imagine that, a truck with no AC in TX. Good thing she thought I was awesome!
