Smart Car. I'm not vain. If a car is safe and free, I would drive it. Cars like the Smart Car just seem dangerous, especially since I live near LA with all the crazy drivers.
Haha, my girlfriend's mom has one of those Audis. It's a sexy looking car but I never quite got it... personally, I'd never drive a car that doesn't have great mileage and safety ratings, so... most cars, I guess. I'm just too practically-minded about all of that stuff to care if people think the Prius or whatever I end up driving is cool (for the record I have no car now but I'll be in the market soon.) Not wasting money on gas or dying in an accident is cooler than your lousy MPG sports car or pickup.
It's well known that Jeep Wranglers are exclusively driven by homosexuals (at least since the guy in Queer as Folk had one), and I would therefore have to politely refuse your offer of a free Jeep Wrangler.
You forgot about teenage/early 20s women who want to be "sporty". I've nearly been hit by like 5 of those walking home from uni by ditzy girls that don't know how to drive. I know of 3 people that have them, all are women. I view the Wrangler the same as I view the New Beetle. Though the newest Beetle (2012-2013) isn't as bad as the New Beetle because it isn't quite as girly. Still girly, but not as girly.
@Kaungo: Put a roll cage in one of those like Clarkson had and it would be a blast. Just bring a broomstick with you to get it off its side.
I don't believe there's such a thing as a gender specific car.
Yep, the Beetle is one of my favorite cars and the cabrio version looks brilliant.
Well I'm not one to try to tell you what to drive.
Drive whatever you want! Just try not to get bothered by the people that give you weird looks.
The Toyota MR2 Spyder is unfairly labeled as a girl's car, despite being similar in power to weight as the beloved original MR2. I'd buy one now if I wasn't set on something bigger and better.
Plus, put a hardtop on an MR-2 and you've got a decent lookin car that is about 2000 lbs and beats buying a Kia for its gas mileage.
I was going to say "No car, would I turn down, were it free"
I would turn this car down.
Yeah, this right here. I'll buy one of these for anyone who says "I would never turn down a free car" with the condition that they pay me back if they can no longer stand it.
A free car is a free car. Don't care what it is as long as it runs.
True, but reliability and functionality would be a concern for me. So, for instance, if I were to receive a Smart car for free, I would sell it and buy something different with the proceeds. Smart car is no good for me because it has nil cargo space and I wouldn't trust something like that in winter even if I put studded snow tires on.
My top choice for no thank you vehicle is any flavour of pickup truck. I hate the way those things look. Pain in the ass to park as well if it's a mid sized or larger model.

I've been in a Smart Car making an unprotected left in downtown, which is always terrifying in LA, even in a truck.
I was in Mexico visiting, was with my family, dad was driving his big Suburban and we have a comby van full of people pulling away from us. At a curve on the highway, we just see dust rising up as we go by, we see the comby van just flipped on its side and people all bloodied up trying to pull themeselves out. Lesson, only drive Comby vans if you are a man.
I drive a 2008 Mustang GT. It burns gas like crazy but my commute is only 6 miles so I can't complain. It has power when I want it. Though I am gonna be looking for a new car in a couple of years. Make the transition to real adulthood. Probably a BMW 5 Series, hopefully with the 4 cylinder turbos
