According to astrologers, you should choose a car not only based on your financial capabilities, but also ... on the basis of the zodiac sign! How exactly? This is what we will try to figure out!
Aries. Distinctive features of this sign - activity and the desire to be ahead of everyone. Realize this desire can only be on a powerful sports car. In addition, Aries are characterized by a craving for sophistication and beauty, so the car must be not only powerful, but also stylish. Any model Ferrari, Audi TT, Subaru Impreza - driving any of these cars, Aries will feel "at ease".
Automagic. Practical and magical advice. Watch the video!
Calf. Solid, firm, will not miss his own - such is a typical representative of this sign. He chooses, first of all, a car that is reliable and practical: so that the safety is at a high level, there are fewer breakdowns and maintenance is simpler. According to such characteristics, Skoda Octavia, Opel Astra, Toyota Corolla and other models that cause the least amount of problems and troubles are suitable for Taurus.
Twins. Their contradictory nature itself will not understand what it wants: one moment they want something sporty, with a powerful "herd" under the hood, and the next - something small, compact and beautiful ... Ideally, in the garage any Gemini should have several cars that could be changed depending on the goals and their own mood. If we talk about one car, then the Gemini, like no other, will fit crossovers. Nissan Juke, Mazda CX-5, Honda CR-V, Skoda Yeti - the character of such a car will be as dual as that of its owner.
Cancer. Without exaggeration, it can be called the most family sign of the zodiac. The main concern of any Cancer is to make relatives and friends feel comfortable and comfortable. This rule applies to the car in full. Any wagon with spacious interior(be it Mitsubishi Lancer or Skoda Octavia Combi) – perfect car, according to Rakov.
A lion. He is the King (yes, that's right, with a capital letter) - and that says it all. The executive class is exactly what will emphasize the nature of any Leo. The car must be expensive, solid, well-controlled (Lions like to dominate) and of high quality. Representatives of this royal sign will suit such brands as Infiniti, Lexus or Mercedes. By the way, since the Lions are also quite capricious, the choice of a car they usually stretch for a long time.
Virgo. Accuracy and logic are the basis of the character of the representatives of this sign. For Virgo, a car is primarily a means of transportation. The requirement for it is one, but very important: it must be a good combination of price and quality. When choosing a car, Virgo is most likely to pay attention to cars like Nissan Qashqai or Kia Cee "d.

Scales. Despite the general poise of character, they approach the choice of a car in a very original way. The more unusual and "exclusive" the model, the more likely it will attract the attention of Libra. Those who have the opportunity buy an Alfa Romeo or Jaguar, more "modest" Libras have to be content with, for example, Citroen C5.
Scorpion. He always and in everything seeks to occupy a high position, to demonstrate his strong character. A car for Scorpio is an element of image, as well as an indicator of status. That is why representatives of this sign more often than others choose large all-wheel drive SUVs. You look at an impressive Hummer or BMW - and immediately everything is clear about its owner!
Sagittarius. This is an air sign, and he does not like it when something restricts his freedom. This applies to the car to the fullest. Sagittarius can choose either big car(type Nissan Pathfinder), or simply a model with a spacious interior (Citroen C4, etc.) - in them he will feel most comfortable.
Capricorn. He is stubborn and confidently goes to his goal, no matter what happens. In addition, he really looks at the world and knows the value of everything that surrounds him. From the combination of these character traits of Capricorn, the requirements for his car are as follows: it must be powerful model with a classic silhouette, without any bold experiments in appearance. Infiniti FX, Volvo S60, Honda Accord - that's what Capricorn might like.
Aquarius. The creative and active nature of this sign is contraindicated in everyday routine. unusual car is a way to diversify your life, to bring a little bit of creativity and light folly into it. Aquarians are not averse to buying some kind of retro car (and the older and more exotic the car looks, the better) or just a model with a non-standard appearance (Nissan Cube, for example, is quite suitable).
Fish. When choosing a car, they completely trust their intuition. Their ideal is smooth lines and a streamlined body (apparently, the influence of the elements of water affects). Depending on wealth, Pisces can choose both a luxurious Bugatti and a more modest Mazda 6. The main thing is to be streamlined and aerodynamic.
To believe the car horoscope or not - decide for yourself. Just remember that when choosing a car, your zodiac sign is not the main thing. It is much more important that the car brings joy and driving pleasure. This is really worth paying attention to!
