The research, which was carried out by Motors.co.uk, found that while 48% of men feel an expensive car makes them more attractive to the opposite sex, women actually associated the drivers of these cars with more negative personality traits, finding them to be self-centred, dangerous and arrogant.
By comparison, women felt that saloon drivers – such as Ford Mondeo, Renault Megane – were likely to be hard-working and safe drivers, while hatchback drivers were seen as being modest.
Interestingly, both men and women attributed the most positive personality types with eco-car drivers – such as Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius – seeing them as the most likely to be conscientious and intelligent, as well as the safest drivers on the road.
When it comes to choosing the colour of a car, black is the colour most likely to attract someone's attention, with the results suggesting that the perfect car for a man looking to attract a partner is a black eco-car, like a Toyota Prius.
Phill Jones, a spokesman for Motors.co.uk, said: "Our survey provided an interesting snapshot into how people perceive car drivers, with the bad boy sports car stereotype still holding true.
"The disparity between men and women suggests that the yummy mummy 'Chelsea tractor' stereotype might be having a similar effect on men as sports cars appear to be having on women.
"While there is no doubt that owning the Batmobile or a Back to the Future Delorean would be a conversation starter if you're looking to meet new people, in reality the car we buy is likely to make us feel more confident rather than make other people find us more attractive."
