Apparently, it\u2019s not a Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bently or McLaren but a Porsche that most British drivers wish to own most at some point in their lives!That\u2019s right. Porsche is the brand that most Brits \u2018dream\u2019 of owning according to a survey done by BuyaCar.co.uk.The survey had 511 participants and they were each asked \u2018what car do you dream of owning one day?\u2019 and then also \u2018do you think you will own it?\u2019. In total, answers consisted of a range of 46 brands and 90 different models.Porsche was not the most popular answer by a small margin either. In fact, Porsche was more than twice as popular than the second most popular brand, Aston Martin.Interestingly, according to BuyaCar, answers didn\u2019t just consist of Porsches and Ferraris but also some more ordinary cars. Believe it or not, when asked \u2018what car do you dream of owning one day?\u2019 someone answered with the Kia Niro plug-in hybrid (very sensible!) and one person said a classic Citroen 2CV (a very stylish French classic!).\u00a0As the plot thickens, we find out that Porsche \u2018dreamers\u2019 were also the most confident that they would one day own the car of their dreams, with over half them saying they would. On the other hand, no participants that chose a Lamborghini model felt confident that they would one day own one.\u201cIt seems that Porsche hits the sweet spot of being sufficiently exotic to inspire dreams of ownership but also often as affordable as a more mainstream executive type car, if you are happy to go for a used model – as customers of BuyaCar always do.” – Andy Oldham, Chief Executive of BuyaCar.co.ukThe top 10 car brands British drivers most dream of owning:Brand:Rank:Number of models named:Porsche18%8Aston Martin7.9%6Tesla6.6%5BMW6.4%4Jaguar6.2%4Audi5.1%3Bentley5.1%2Mercedes-Benz5.1%4Ferrari4.2%9McLaren2.9%5Surprising to us, not featured in the top 10 are brands such as Lamborghini and Range Rover\/Land Rover.It\u2019s also peculiar to see that Jaguar is higher on the list than Audi and Mercedes and also that Mercedes-Benz ranks the lowest out of the big three (BMW, Audi, Mercedes). This does make us wonder who exactly were the participants and what were the main demographics\u2026Also, if you begin to look at the number of models named it makes you realise a lot of people must like the same car. For instance, roughly 32 people chose a BMW model as their dream car, yet only four models were named. BMW have the 8 Series, the i8, the M3, the M4, the M2, the M140i, the classic E30 M3 and so on – and yet, only four models were mentioned by 32 people?Anyway, let us know what your dream car is and if you think these results are representative of the average Brit.
