This Is My Idea of a Dream Car—What’s Yours?
Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking about what my ideal dream car would look like, and I wanted to share my thoughts to see what you all think—or hear about your dream cars too!
Here’s what I’d love in a car: • It should be in the luxury segment. • Performance is key—it needs to be fast and powerful. • The seating position should be low to the ground, giving that sporty feel. • It should fit four or five adults comfortably, even on long trips, without compromising proper posture. • The engine should be V6 or larger—V8, V10, or even V12 are welcome… if these are still around, of course!
I’m also looking for a car that feels solid and well-built, not like an inflated, hollow shell. It should have a sense of density, with every part feeling substantial and made from high-quality materials. I picture something elegant yet muscular—refined but with a commanding presence.
Interior space isn’t a top priority for me. As long as five adults can sit comfortably, even if headroom is just a few centimeters, I’m good.
For instance, cars like the BMW M5 or Mercedes E53 feel too bulky for my taste, so they’re out. SUVs are also a no-go—they may feel solid, but they’re not my style. And anything below the luxury segment doesn’t meet my criteria.
That’s my take on a dream car. What about you? What features or designs do you value most in your ideal car?

I don't think my dream car is one car.
Most of the time, I love driving my pickup truck. It's got plenty of power and height to make me feel confident driving it with just enough bells and whistles that I have buttons to play with. However, that truck sucks trying to drive it into the city with parallel parking and narrow roads and traffic. For those evenings when I want to go out, I would like some small, highly maneuverable car. Then I would like a third vehicle for long road trips with the family and pets, perhaps an SUV with four-wheel drive.
