Useless Stat of the Day: Over 50% of British Drivers Have Made Love in a Car [Plus Top 10 Cars for Hanky Panky Time]


According to a research done by Autoquake, 54% of Britain’s drivers have made out in a car and for 22% of those, it was a fantastic experience. Nevertheless, fooling around in a car presents some, let’s say, technical issues, like being cramped and the possibility of getting caught, so 32 percent think that the experience is overrated.

Unsurprisingly, men are more active when it comes to sex in a car and one in three (or 28%) say that it’s fantastic, while just 18% of women feel the same way. Furthermore, 31% of women disapprove of the act completely.

Of the 1,000 respondents, people over the age of 55 found the idea least objectionable, as just 11% considered that having sex in a car is wrong. So, that’s what grandpa did before the internet was invented…

Autoquake’s CEO, Dermot Halpin, said: “We’re surprised that so many of drivers have used their cars as mobile bedrooms, and impressed that the older generation are leading the way”.



To come to the aid of adventurous lovers, the British website also compiled a Top 10 of best cars to have sex in, found below, alongside the complete results of the research.

Top 10 List from Autoquake:

1. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate
The huge load area makes the big Merc perfect for amorous couples.

2. The Volkswagen Beetle (original)
Making love in a Bug is rather snug, but if something’s difficult it’s also more satisfying.

3. Ferrari 458 Italia
If you are going to have sex in a Ferrari, do it in a semi-auto so there’s no danger of injuring yourself on an ice-cold gearstick.

4. Mini Cooper
Recreate the swinging 60s by swinging in a Mini.

5. Volvo V70
The dog lover’s favourite makes the perfect car for, err, dogging.

6. Volkswagen Golf GTI
An efficient, satisfying car for efficient, satisfying sex.

7. Alfa Romeo Spider
The romantic choice for the more mature lady and a recent graduate.

8. Rolls-Royce Ghost
Why not do it in the lap of luxury? Just mind the upholstery.

9. Aston Martin Vanquish
You’ll be keeping the British end up, as Roger Moore once said.

10.Land Rover Discovery
Whatever the weather, the Discovery will get you to that quiet rural car park.
