What’s the Best Car for Your Sign?

By: Ask Patty (View Profile)


Leo
Leo is warmhearted and courageous, stylish and dramatic. That passionate nature of yours deserves a ride that fully expresses your vitality! Yours is the sign of the Lion, ruled by the bright, powerful Sun. Keeping those qualities in mind, if you’re …

Fully loaded: Go for something sleek, classic, and flashy that will really turn people’s heads, such as a Ferrari (red, of course!), a Porsche 911 or a convertible Bentley Azure. If you’re into class of a slightly subtler variety, a Lexus, BMW, or Cadillac Roadster might be just your speed.

Comfortable: Go for a Lincoln MKX, which oozes luxury without the jaw-dropping price tag. A new convertible Volkswagen Beetle in a metallic color will also let you show off on the road.

On a budget: A Honda Civic is zippy and reliable, yet affordable enough for most budgets. And you’re sure to keep yours in tip-top condition!

Remember, you’re into showy, dramatic vehicles—and showy, dramatic behavior, as well. When you visit the car dealership, take along an easygoing friend who can help you negotiate amicably with the salesperson rather than flying off the handle when you aren’t offered the deal you know you deserve!

Virgo
Virgo is practical, detail-oriented, and interested in economy, whether that refers to your finances, your automobile or any other resource. Thus, you’re drawn to cars that aren’t too big or flashy—and gas-guzzlers need not apply! No, you need something small and sensible with good mileage and great reliability ratings. You tend to drive the same car for years and years; you’re hard-pressed to get a new one until the old one is paid off and falling apart. Keeping that in mind, if you’re …

Fully loaded: Even when you’re indulging in a luxury vehicle, you can’t suppress that practical, specs-conscious nature of yours. Go for something stylish, reserved, and environmentally conscious, such as a Lexus RX Hybrid SUV, to assuage your conscience as well as your bank balance.

Comfortable: With its high crash test ratings, excellent gas mileage, and other practical features, a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry is right up your alley. Plus, these cars’ lines are elegant yet understated, just like you. You might also like a Toyota Prius or a Honda Hybrid vehicle, for even more savings on gasoline and near-zero emissions—which is better for your pocketbook as well as the environment.

On a budget: Check out a used Mercury—after all, this car is named after your ruling planet. A Ford Focus also reflects your legendary powers of concentration.

Remember, you love sifting through the details and finding the best deal around. Consumer Reports and other quality review sources are a great place for you to find a ride that’s safe, reliable and an all-around good buy.

Libra
Libra is stylish, friendly, and diplomatic by nature. Ruled by Venus, you have an artistic eye and a busy social life, so you need an automobile that reflects your aesthetic tastes—and one that can take a lot of mileage as you zip from one engagement to the next. Keeping that in mind, if you’re …

Fully loaded: Go for something sleek and stylish that will make you feel attractive. A Bentley or a Rolls Royce—both the crème de la crème of automobiles—would be just your speed. So might be a zippy little BMW 7 Series sedan or a Mercedes SL Roadster convertible.

Comfortable: Go for a Toyota 4Runner or a GMC Envoy. Both of these SUVs blend space and style, so you feel dashing as drive your friends around on a gallery crawl or an all-night party circuit. And the Envoy’s name speaks to your inner ambassador—that part of you that just wants everyone to get along and have a good time!

On a budget: You want a car with gorgeous, classic lines, even if it’s inexpensive. What about an old BMW or Mercedes? These cars never lose their appeal. A used Honda Civic or Dodge Diplomat will reflect your urge to create social balance and amicable relations in the world.

Remember, you aim to please, which can often mean you’re indecisive—after all, you’d hate to make a decision that hurt anyone’s feelings. As much as you enjoy doing things in groups, you might be better off visiting the car dealership on your own, so you can make the decision that’s right for you without having to consider anyone else’s preferences.

Scorpio
Scorpio is deep, subtle, powerful, and mysterious, all at once. You’re emotional at your core, but you may not outwardly reveal how deeply you feel things. You love it when you can keep people guessing as to your motives—almost as much as you love to deconstruct others’ psyches and figure out what makes them tick. In fact, your knack for figuring out tricky problems could make you an excellent home mechanic. Keeping those qualities in mind, if you’re …

Fully loaded: Go for something sexy that oozes power, such as a Hummer H2, a Dodge Viper, or a Cadillac Escalade—with dark-tinted windows, of course. You like seeing out, but you don’t want anyone seeing in!

Comfortable: Check out a Dodge Magnum or Avenger, or a used Plymouth Prowler—again, with tinted windows, so you can glide through the streets undercover. These models’ names reflect your intense personality, as does a Jeep Commander—because you love being in control.

On a budget: A used Ford Probe could be right up your alley, as the name speaks to your love of delving deeply into feelings, problems or the unconscious mind. Plus, used cars satisfy your need to recycle, not to mention your inner mechanic as you locate issues and fix them yourself.

Remember, you’re a natural at projecting an image and drawing admirers into your realm. Use these skills when you visit the car dealership. Instead of being played by the salesperson, like most people, you can have them eating out of your hand—and offering you deal after deal!
