What Kinds of Cars to Women Like?

If you had the money to afford one you wouldn't be asking. But you'd probably want to get a Bentley, Rolls Royce, Maserati Quattroporte, or maybe a S65 AMG mercedes (wouldn't work in down here in SoCal).
And honestly, most "real" women that you would actually want to date could careless about cars and probably know very little about them.
But back to "reality", since you're 19 and probably looking for some teenage bimbo, a BMW 3 series, Lexus IS, etc, might do it, depends on where you live. Where I'm at every teenage bimbo girl drives a BMW, so it probably wouldn't work.
And have you ever driven a Porsche? They're some of the nicest cars on the road, especially the 911 models (the Boxster and Cayman are alright). But really, if you want to impress a woman down here with a "sports car" you need a Ferrari, Lamborghini, maybe an Aston.
Really, guess you haven't seem my car then.
Just like a Ferrari it is red and loud, you can even take the sun roof out and make it a quasi convertible
.I like the woman who likes me in spite of my car.
Limos.
I'm sure anything that shows you have some money will do it for most 19 year olds. It doesn't have to be an Aston DBS. Any BMW, Merc, Lexus, and most cars that would be considered expensive for a 19 year old to own would do it. I don't think the standards are so high, or at least not where I lived.
Understood. I grew up in LA and as shallow as it is, if a guy didn't have a car, he didn't stand a hope in hell. It's too big a place to get around without one and I'm damn sure not doing ALL the driving.
Yeah, so long as it's clean, has air conditioning and works it shouldn't really matter. You may not want something super flashy because lets face it, LA is a superficial city and you'll attract gold-diggers (albeit for all the right reasons but all the wrong girls, you see catch22 I guess) So don't go buying more than you can afford because, well, having a nice car is only worthwhile when you can afford to go places and do things in it.
BMW's are ubiquitous as hell there but always a good choice, sure.

I have a bright red sports car but you can damn well be sure I didn't buy it for the ladies. I bought it because I loved it, and I continue to love it.
Buy a car because it suits you, not someone else.
And never insult Porsche's ever again. I will hunt you down.

Are you kidding me? I love it, its a beast!
Seriously, its odd, I like odd.
The way I think of it is, the people with flashy bright orange/hot pink-two exhaust type of car owners are screaming- look at me! so I don't look. But where I live, I hate to say it but there are alot of smugglers, I mean not everyone is but a good 25% have dribbled their hands into illegal activities and I don't think they deserve anyone's respect, if they earned their car, I would say congrats, but selling drugs to little kids, I turn the other cheek
And are "high maintenance" much more trouble than they're worth. If all you're trying to do is to get laid, go to Vegas ... its a lot cheaper.
She's the one who you should be listening to. Bottom line is that she sees right through the superficial "what kind of car?" question.
Another thing that is probably underlying this is that she would be more favorably inclined if your car - - no matter what it is - - is PAID for.
Good, for at your tender young age, you shouldn't.
Besides, at Age 19, just who will be really be paying for this car?
-hh
I myself have lusted for a mini cooper but for myself and not for some unknown man. Doesn't matter what the car is as long as it's taken care of. If the interior is dirty I imagine the man is also. Also, there is a difference between 'clean' dirt and 'dirty' dirt. I've seen cars with old food wrappers that been there for weeks, empty cans on the floorboards, countless paper and stuff. Your car is an extention of your home and body.
You shouldn't have attract women to you. You should just go up to them and start the conversation.
Plus if you have a flashy car and no money to back it up, that "relationship" isnt going to last.

I have had a few cars in my life, none of them expensive. Out of all them I noticed woman always stared at my black nissan 280zx, which was not an expensive car but it looked expensive.
So these days probably any sort of japanese sports car.
I wanted a red porsche 911 all my life, but if I seen a guy driving one i'd probably be jealous and pissed off and frown at you

I worked at a thriving body shop and dealt with thousands of women and their cars. I observed women of all hotnesses because, well, why not...
Sure, expensive cars and attractive women often go together. Wealthy men have always been able to attract attractive women. This has gone on for thousands of years and will probably never change.
Where does this leave the average guy? It is more what to avoid. Women hate dirty, nasty cars. It is embarrassing to them to be seen in one and it was very rare to see an attractive women in such a vehicle.
Woman also seem to be less than thrilled with winged drifters and jacked-up trucks. Why? Because those guys seem to be more interested in stupid-cars than women. You have to agree, these guys are generally seen in the company of other guys....
So, a young guy in a reasonably modern, clean, sporty car is going to be just fine and needs nothing else. I observed zillions of cute girls riding around with guys in very reasonable cars.
Having a nice car is no handicap at all, that's for sure. But, if you are a moron, it won't help you.

I might be the exception to the rule, but when I was younger and dating the type of car didn't matter near as much as the condition. Quality tires, clean and waxed exterior, clean interior that didn't smell like moldy ass.
How you treat your stuff says a lot about you. As does having enough cash to buy top shelf as opposed to well because your car poor. (sorry I was a drinker in my single days)

Women's taste in cars changes. I used to love Ferrari, then Lambourghini, then I switched to the Bugatti Veyron, and recently, my favourite is the Pagani Zonda. Aston Martin, Peugeot, Maserati and Lotus all have great cars also. However, I would never go out with a guy just because he was in a car that I liked, even if he owned a fleet of my favourite cars. Instead, a genuine, caring, funny, down to earth guy in a clean, environmental and somewhat decent (ex. A/C, radio, no loud humming sounds etc) car is much more preferable. Even though I love exotic cars, I don't want guys that have them. If I want something, I'll get it. Girls sometimes don't like guys in flashy cars because a lot of them tends to be snobby and one track minded.
You WANT women to make shallow statements about you??

A Gulfstream V usually does the trick.
I might be able to make some lifestyle changes if he had one of those.
