Want to impress the man of your dreams? Well, then get yourself a Mini, for according to a new poll, female owners of the classic cars are the sexiest.

The poll of 2,000 men asked blokes to pick out vehicles favoured by the sexiest girls, and Mini drivers came at the top.

Three-quarters of the participants said "fit girls" had Minis and 68 per cent said they always did their best to get a glimpse of a Mini driver if they passed one in traffic.

The second spot was nabbed by BMW 1, followed by the Peugeot 206 in third and the Ford Ka in fourth.

Also in the top five was the Vauxhall Corsa, reports the Mirror.

Other cars "always driven by good-looking girls" were the Citroen C1, the VW Polo, Fiat 500, the Ford Fiesta and Nissan Micra.

A spokesman for internet market research company www.onepoll.com, which did the survey, said: "It seems the Mini is the car of choice for great-looking ladies."
