The top 10 ‘friendliest’ cars

Could the car you drive really boost your social life? It could if you choose the right model according to new research into online social networking. Research published this month by Carcraft, the UK’s longest established used car hypermarket chain, found that many thousands of car owners are joining Facebook groups set up specifically to exchange messages and advice with fellow owners of the same make of car.

Mini Cooper drivers were the friendliest of all, according to the Carcraft survey, with more than 20,000 drivers networking across more than 300 groups.

Then the MAZDA3 should be there too. It's a major chick car.

I don't even know why people say that. I dont even see a resemblance between the two. The MAZDA3 is a bubble and the IS is sleek and sexy.

I would have thought that there would be at least one ENVIRONMENT friendly car in there. I think driving an electric car or a solar enhanced one would be a real statement; one that says 'i care about the environment' and one that says 'look at me i different'!

In California, some of the most obnoxious cars I've seen are Civics - you know the kind: exhausts the size of sewage pipes, body kit that flops around at 50mph +, gigantic spoiler, covered with stickers/decals (preferrably something not Honda related like GTR plaques), and driver leaning so far back, the headrest is almost touching the rear bench. The worst? They want to race you, even though their contraptions have 1/4 of the power to weight ratio of the car you drive. I'm surprised the smilie-faced Beetle isn't on this list. If the above comments apply, the ultimate chick car should be the friendliest.

you also see that in Maryland in the DC area, where MS13 might hail 3 or so miles from where I use to live.

I think that the Corolla (which I own - a 2004 MY) is too boring to be a chick car.
