Attention from other drivers

[Luke.08]

Hi guys. I had an experience that was a first for me. I was stopped at a set of traffic lights and a random guy I didn't no was asking what the car was. How quick it was ect. Now I have never been one for attention. But the attention my R gets is amazing. People always look either in thier cars on on the street. Just wondered if anyone else has had this type of experience. Do any of you get asked by strangers what it is?

Quite often get people looking at it!

The day I bought it I had a couple of builders shout out to me asking if it was the new golf aha..

Only once and that was when I was walking out of halFords. Walked out and some bloke was walkjng round my car and looking in. I walked towards it and pressed unlock and he jumped up and was looking round. He said nice car thats lovelly. Never seen one of these before. I do get loads of people look at it when driving.

Constantly. Every week someone speaks to me about mine.

Had ALOT of attention in mine over the 2 years i've owned it.
Have just ordered a 2014 Porsche Cayman but I will miss my R massively!

Had a few similar experiences, one like yourself at traffic lights. I still think it's one of the nicest looking cars on the road. Myself and my boyfriend's family took it down the Blackpool illuminations strip the year I got it and the car was getting more looks than the lights, like blatant points and stares. I was embarrassed haha!

[Luke.08]

lol i was embarrassed to the first time it happened. had a "rude boi" pull up beside me in his fiesta st blatently gawping at my car. lets just say i left him standing at the lights lol

Once, when I got out of my car, after parking it in the high street, a crowd gathered and were muttering excitedly and behaving like a lost tribe in the jungle who had never seen a white man before. I thought it was because I was driving a rocco but soon realised that their behaviour was because I'd forgotten to put any clothes on. Sigh.......it's no fun getting old!

[rm0rgan]

Nope - never :-(

With my Exige it was non-stop proper gawping but get nothing now #Disappointing.

I also had some eyes on me with my GTS , and afcourse other tuners always look but thats normal, but i'm putting in the R exhaust on 14 March, so i hope more people look

Had plenty of attention when the car was new, that was almost three years ago now, they were a rarity locally. My wife told me she saw a guy photographing the car when she was taking the very pretty cocker spaniel for a walk. He now drives a GT 140 Tdi. I wonder if I'll get the same looks when my Audi Q3 arrives as the Roc's replacement.

When I got my R a year ago all I saw was people staring at it. Kids... Women... Men... Nuns. Everyone. I'd actually feel offended if someone didn't stare, and shortly after put it down to them being blind. Partially sighted at the bare minimum.

A year later I hardly see anybody staring. But I think that's a lot to do with the fact that when I drive now I actually look where I'm going, instead of constantly looking at people walking along the pavement and craving their attention.

I typically get comments that it has a timeless design, one of the primary reasons that I also chose this car

I remember going a drive one day and somebody beside us says that's a nice golf hahaha

[nizzon]

^ I would have been offended.

[TranceTrouble]

do get a lot of views in Holland, cause they seem to be quite more rarer then in the UK at the moment

[scirocco1984]

People are always staring and comment on my car. When people overtake on motorway there passenger breaks there neck looking back at it still. Also had some guys wife in passenger seat staring giving thumbs up and pointing at it miming "nice car" . Even more high end car drivers stare at it, had a guy in a new white porsche 911 turbo hoggling it!! To be fair i would stare at it if it wasnt my car ive always loved how they look from all angles, especially the front they look so MEAN!!!
