MANY drivers will be choosing to snuggle up with their car rather than their partner this Valentine’s Day, according to a survey.
InsuretheGap.com found 18 per cent of more than 750 UK motorists quizzed said they loved their car as much as their significant other and five per cent said they loved their vehicle more than their partner.
When asked why, 30 per cent said it "makes me happy", followed by 25 per cent who claimed "it never lets me down", and 22 per cent who reckoned "it’s easier to handle".
Other answers included "it’s cheaper to run" (19 per cent) and "it doesn’t answer me back" (18 per cent). And a stingy 13 per cent also said it was because "I don’t have to buy it a Valentine Day’s gift".
InsuretheGap.com boss Ben Wooltorton said: “Brits have always had a love affair with our cars and it looks like this is as strong as ever.
"Our cars are one of the few places we can escape to away from the stresses of everyday life, so this Valentine’s day maybe ditch the roses and chocolate and take a romantic drive instead?!”
