What Does the Vehicle You Drive Say About You?
There are few things that have a larger impact on our everyday lives than the vehicles we drive. There are a lot of reasons we choose the type of vehicle we drive; it could be for style, price, function, reliability, you name it. But, did you ever wonder what the car, truck, van, or SUV you drive says about you? There are a few theories out there, and we thought we’d share some. Let us know if you agree.
Complex Magazine
A few years ago Complex Magazine published a less than a scientific article that gives a one-line take on the drivers of various popular vehicles. Two Toyota vehicles were mentioned, including the Toyota Camry and the Toyota Prius.

Pretty funny, we must admit, but they clearly haven’t seen the 2018 Toyota Camry.
Admiral Insurance
Admiral Insurance in the UK has taken a more scientific approach to framing a “type” of driver with a particular vehicle. Using their records from years of providing car insurance, they have an online tool that will give you an impressive (or scary) range of information about drivers who own virtually any vehicle.
As an example, Admiral’s site claims that Toyota Rav4 drivers tend to be female, have only a 12% chance of speeding, and have hobbies and interests that include gardening, museums, and doing laundry. Toyota Corolla drivers, on the other hand, tend to be males and enjoy watching Doctor Who and New Girl on TV.
Men’s Health Magazine
Men’s Health took a leap and created customer profiles for each major automaker, including Toyota. While it’s pretty silly to lump all drivers of a car brand together, it’s still entertaining. Here's what they had to say about Toyota:
Car Guide
Car Guide has also had its own say about what a vehicle says about its owner. In this case, they broke down “types” of drivers by the general vehicle they drive. In the case of large SUVs, like the Toyota Sequoia, they say:
