Poll: what do you call your car?
Miscellaneous / / April 03, 2023
"News" shared the results of a study from Avto.ru, which made it possible to find out the most common names that drivers give to cars. To do this, the editors of the portal analyzed the messages on the autoforum and paid attention to how users call different cars. It turned out that the nicknames usually come either from the model of the car or from its features.
So, Nissan Note users in 19% of cases called Raccoon, in messages about Mazda3 in 13% of cases it was called Matryoshka, and 12% of authors gave the Peugeot 308 the nickname Fawn. Other nicknames include: Toyota RAV4 - Rafik, Subaru Forester - Forester, Toyota Land Cruiser - Kruzak (but Pradik, if we are talking about the Prado version), Land Rover Freelander - Friel.
There were also nicknames unrelated to the name. So, Lada Largus and Skoda Fabia are often called "workhorses", and VAZ-2105 - "classics". Toyota Camry in 5% of messages was called "driving a dream", and Kia Rio - "a true friend" (3%).
