Take notice of the quotation marks around the word "girl" in the title of this article. Sarcasm is meant to be felt because any car can be driven by any person, and it's silly to think a car is only for a specific gender.
However, there are some who still feel the need to classify cars based on whether they are better suited for males or females. Cars are cars. The only classifications should be style, comfort, safety... and speed. Anyone looks good in a fast car. The ensuing list is an attempt to show that even "girl" cars have power, suited for anyone of any gender.
15 2006 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works
The 2003 Mini Cooper was the car in the film The Italian Job. Though it's a cute compact car with tons of personality, the '06 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works is no slouch on the road. It can reach 140 mph and get to 60 mph in just 6 seconds.
14 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T
Don't be fooled by its smooth exterior and petite frame, the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T can cut through traffic like a dart. With 210 ponies, it has enough power to hit a top speed of 151 mph. This car is also easily modified, so it has the potential to become even more of a speed demon on the road.
13 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata
Diminutive in size with an undeniably sleek body, the Mazda Miatas have long been considered cars meant for the sporty, stylish woman. This popular car is much more than that, and it has plenty of kick. Not many cars on the road like the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata can go from 0- 60 in 5.7 seconds.
12 2013 Suzuki Kizashi GTS
Not the most awe-inspiring vehicle on the list, nor the fastest, the 2013 Suzuki Kizashi GTS is a 4-door sedan that is arguably underwhelming. However, this is still a mid-level sedan that can boast considerable acceleration and speed for its design. Topping out at 127 mph, it can hit 60 mph in 7.1 seconds.
11 2019 Buick Cascada
The 2019 Buick Cascada is a luxury soft-top convertible that drags itself to 60 mph in 8.9 seconds but still has enough horses to peak at 130 mph. It has a smooth, simple exterior that some male car enthusiasts would disregard, but it's more than capable of opening up and pushing the speed limit.
10 1999 Ford Mustang GT
The epitome of the pony car for the new millennium, the 1999 Ford Mustang GT is a small, sporty car that's popularly seen in bold, showy colors. People seem to forget that this car is still Ford built, and well-performing cars have always been in Ford's repertoire. In just 5.4 seconds, this beauty can reach 60 mph, and it peaks at 140 mph.
9 2003 Ford Thunderbird
Another Ford convertible, the Thunderbird has long appealed to women because of its bubbly design. More luxurious than its Mustang cousin with its signature rounded body, the 2003 Ford Thunderbird still has impressive power. This pretty bird can hit the road and reach 154 mph, nothing to scoff at.
8 2019 Porsche Cayenne
A stylish beast is the 2019 Porsche Cayenne. Like the other cars on this list there really should be no distinction between which gender this car is for, but it is an SUV that is popular among affluent women with a desire for performance and style. Any car that can reach 60 mph in 5.9 seconds and peak at 152 mph like this one is sure to push the speed limit no matter who's behind the wheel.
7 2020 Lexus RX 350
Because it's a luxury SUV with a sleek, flowing body the 2020 Lexus RX 350 is assumed to be more popular among women. However, with an above-average 295 hp, this luxurious masterpiece can get to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds. Not bad for an SUV with style and amenities as its top selling points.
6 2012 BMW Z4 Roadster
Roadsters are small, light and appear more delicate in design than most cars (maybe that's why Elon Musk decided to shoot one into space), and the 2012 BMW Z4 Roadster is no exception. Still, this Beemer boasts exceptional acceleration, going from 0 - 60 in 5.5 seconds.
5 2005 Mercedes C230
The 2005 Mercedes-Benz C230 is a 4-door luxury sedan that is an undeniably smooth ride. Its design is simple and elegant, but it is in a lower class than the more desirable Mercedes models. Despite its class and stigma as a woman's Mercedes, it can reach a top speed of 130 mph.
4 2012 Audi Q5
This compact, fuel-efficient and stylish SUV is not a vehicle to overlook when it comes to power. Even with its bulky design and focus on getting great mpg for an SUV (27 hwy), the regal 2012 Audi Q5 has plenty of get-up-and-go with a top speed of 132 mph.
3 2013 Audi TT Coupe
With a low profile and elegant curves, the 2013 Audi TT is a coupe that may appeal to women, but with its 211 hp it can reach 60 mph in 6 seconds and speed its way up to 130 mph.
2 2013 Subaru Outback 3.6R
A roomy and simply styled SUV with off-road capabilities, the 2013 Subaru Outback 3.6R packs a serious punch for a mid-level SUV that has a reputation as an ideal car for a soccer mom. 256 horses can push this Outback to 143 mph. If soccer moms were the only people meant to drive this car, then they'll get there well before anyone else and shred some lawns in the process.
1 2013 Scion FR-S
This small coupe is a ride with a simple look that is a lot of fun to drive. The 2013 Scion Fr-S's simplistic design and relatively modest performance compared to top-tier coupes peg it as a "girl's" car, but it's no push-over on the road. It can reach 143 mph and hit 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.
