Münsingen, Germany - May 1, 2023: Volkswagen Golf Mk1 german oldtimer vintage cabrio car on a country road on a sunny summer day.Some are born hot girls, others achieve being a hot girl, and still others have being a hot girl thrust upon them. We all know a hot girl when we see one — just look at my author page — but can any of us really identify the components that make one up? Not just physical attributes, but the attitude, the vibe, and the accessories. Take, for instance, cars: What do hot girls drive? That's the question I asked you all earlier this week, and today we're looking through your answers to judge. I'll be determining whether I, a certified hot girl, would not only drive the car in question but whether doing so would contribute to my own hot girlness — or, at least, whether I could picture a fellow hot girl doing the same. Come along, and we'll determine whether the cars you picked — a shocking number of which are Volkswagen products — fit the bill. Volkswagen CabrioPerfect Volkswagen Cabrio (based on Volkswagen Golf 1) in white color. Subotica, Serbia 21.06.2023In the late '80s/early '90s it was a white Golf Cabriolet with a white top, white BBS wheels, and white bumpers.Submitted by: JohnnyWasASchoolBoyI love these! Hot girl car for sure. Jeep RenegadeCoral Gables, FL, USA - May 12, 2025: Yellow Jeep Renegade SUVJeep Renegade, because my wife owns one, and she's standing next to me.Submitted by: Tiago BastosJudgments on the Renegade aside, this is a weird dynamic to bring to your marriage! You know you don't have to be Rodney Dangerfield about your partner, right? Stick-Shift Volkswagen JettaPARK RAPIDS, MINNESOTA - AUGUST 23: Driver Andrew Cowan and co-driver John Vinti of the #769 1990 Volkswagen Jetta VR6 compete on stage 12 of the ARA Ojibwe Forests Rally on August 23, 2025 in Park Rapids, Minnesota. (Photo by Steven Garcia/Getty Images)When I was younger I was always a sucker for a cute girl driving a stick shift Jetta or similar. It never needed to be a flashy car, it was alway about the "let's go on an adventure" attitude. Submitted by: BuddySDepending on the year, likely a hot girl car! As an aside, wanting the girl of your dreams to come whisk you away to adventure and free your life from meaninglessness is not a fantastic way to live. I recommend watching "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," transitioning your gender, or both. Mini Cooper S2015 Mini Cooper S 5 door. (Photo by National Motor Museum/Heritage Images via Getty Images)I was in college in 1999-2003. I will say the Mini Cooper was it. An ex of mine had a 2003 Cooper S (in stick) that she loved to ring out. She later went to grad school and had a BMW 3-series convertible. I realized in that moment the Cooper/BMW 3 Series overlap with that segment.Submitted by: CarCrazed4LifeHot girl car! More the Mini than the BMW, though. Toyota PriusToyota Prius in yellowPrius. 100%At a certain point there's nothing sexier than "it's paid for, it gets 50mpg and I'm going to drive it until the wheels fall off," followed by "I'd rather spend money on a vacation to europe."Submitted by: BuckfiddiousY'know, I can see the latest Prius edging into hot girl territory, but I'm just not sure it's quite there yet. Also, Prius or no, I certainly don't have Europe vacation money. Muscle carsTacoma, WA, USA - September 20, 2025: Pontiac Firebird at a car showI feel like I have waited for this question for 30+ years. When I was young and single, there was something about a girl driving a muscle car. Any kind, really. A 1970s Trans Am or late 1960s GTO or a first generation Viper. Didn't matter. If she was a six, behind the wheel she became a nine. I met my (first) wife while she was cruising around in a beat up 1980 Trans Am.Bonus points for sunglasses and a hat. Super deluxe bonus points for wet hair and a cowboy hat. Submitted by: KingDingDongMuscle cars are for sure hot girl vehicles, but I cannot in good conscience recommend putting a hat over wet hair. Mazda MiataMonterey, CA, USA August 20, 2025 Mazda MiataDefinitely the Miata. Second is the Mini.Submitted by: Lucky 13As a two-time Miata owner, I have to agree. Hot girl as hell. Jeep WranglerLoveland, CO, USA - August 22, 2025: Toyota Tacoma truck in Trailhunter trim and Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.Lots of folks saying Jetta or Golf or even New Beetle, and I agree but maybe in the 1990s and early 2000s.However, I'd even say Jeeps and bro-dozer pickups for the girls nowadays.And Altima/Sentra for the bedazzled license-plate-frame, cracked glass on the cellphone, more issues than a magazine-rack girls.Submitted by: Omer CarrothersI recommended Wranglers as hot girl vehicles myself, but what about the hot girls who want to escape our their issues by going offroad? Is there no Hegelian synthesis here? Fox Body ConvertibleDartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada - August 22, 2019 : 1987 to 1993 Ford Mustang convertible at weekly summer A&W Cruise-In at Woodside ferry terminal parking lot.You kids all went to school way later than me. My correct answer was a Fox-body (heh heh, ironic there) Mustang Convertible.Submitted by: ipsumThe Fox Body convertible is hot girl, for sure, but were the hot girls at your school buying brand new cars? Also, hotgirldom does not end with high school. SportbikesAmber on her old SuzukiCan she drive a stick? Hey you, get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking about a manual transmission. Or, forget her name (actually too chicken to ever approach her to ask), she rode a motorcycle. Cute little brunette, wore proper (tight) leather suit. She'd take her helmet off and mid-back length hair would spill out. Submitted by: Frank C. This is honestly why I want a sportbike to replace my stolen Suzuki. The most hot girl vehicle there is.
