About This Quiz

Are you really driving the right car for your personality? While some folks say that our personalities have nothing to do with the car we drive, they couldn't be more wrong. Not only are cars a huge investment, but they are also where we spend a lot of time. Driving a car that is more up your alley, so to speak, makes both your life and your commute more enjoyable.

Maybe you got your car before your kids came along, and you're wondering if you need something bigger. Or maybe you've tired of your old ride, and you just want something new. Finding out the right car for your personality is as easy as riding along through this quiz with us. We will examine your lifestyle, your quirks, and the way you are on the road. Once we have enough miles under our seatbelts to feel comfortable, we'll let you in on the car your personality is screaming to drive.

Buckle up and choose the response that you think fits you best. You might picture yourself driving a brand, spanking new mini van, but your inner child might be more of a sports car kind of person? Let's find out
