We often hear that our personality and traits can easily be depicted from our belongings and personal stuff. We all agree on this for sure but real facts on how to really dissect what these attributes are leaves a lot to be decided on.

And from the looks of it, cars are one of the prime factors that help in associating us and something that helps project the type of person we truly are. And now, we have a factual survey that has been done to really spur up this belief, something that should easily direct us into believing that our personality and trait can be easily taken from how we take care and dress up our car.

Ranging from cars, make and size, it is obvious that they can pretty much tell what type of person we are. Though we have change in preferences, this can be easily associated with maturity and change of life’s pace. Realistically, our vehicles provide the necessary identifying factors that certainly strike out. And Mr. Clutch has the data sheet to prove it, regardless if this was made for fun or for supporting data, including the type of car that motorists would most likely prefer having.

“It’s all very well psychologists telling us what car choice means, but here at Mr Clutch we get to see how drivers really think every day of the week. Obviously our mechanics make their own assumptions – this survey was designed to see if our thoughts matched those of our customers,” said Joseph Yusuff, managing director of Mr Clutch.

Among the new bumper crop of vehicles out in the market, there are certain features that people would love to change among them. But if there are two cars which have the least number of attributes that potential car buyers would change, two familiar brands popped out above the rest. The two car brands are Porsche and Ford which topped the 2009 Ideal Vehicle Awards (IVA). The IVAs are based on owners’ ratings of their new 2009 model year cars and trucks across 15 key vehicle attributes.

“In today’s economy, car buyers take many factors into consideration – styling, safety features, fuel economy and more,” says George Peterson, president of AutoPacific. “IVA winners deliver the most of what consumers are really looking for in their vehicles.”

The selection doesn’t seem that easy. Most cars offer great features while others leave it up to the buyers to modify. The Porsche and Ford Motor vehicles are equipped with one of the common and yet unique features which some would leave if the survey is any indication.

But basing it on tradition, these two car models have lived up to their name and such a selection should not really be surprising. For 2009, the top-rated premium brand is Porsche, outscoring Buick and Jaguar for the most ideal premium vehicle brand honors. The top-rated mainstream brand is Ford, outscoring Mercury for top mainstream brand results. Porsche and Ford were also the highest scoring premium and mainstream brands in the 2008 IVA rankings.
