BMWs 'give people the ick' and one colour is major turn-off, new research shows

Choosing a car you want to buy can be difficult - you want it to look the part but it needs to be practical too. But did you know the car you drive can say a lot about you to potential partners?

Well, if you're a BMW driver, it turns out you're out of luck, as a study by Scrap Car Comparison has shown that BMW is the car brand most likely to give people 'the ick'. A common phrase in the dating world, getting 'the ick' translates to a feeling of disgust, perhaps after initial attraction, due to a particular behaviour.

And, it's not just BMW drivers who should be worried - if you're a dangerous driver, or experience road rage in front of a potential partner, the likelihood is that you won't be seeing them again.
