The Car-ma Sutra: The Ultimate Guide to In-Car Intimacy
Two-thirds of Brits admit to getting frisky in their car – and Gen Z are leading the way. Here’s how to keep it fun, safe, and comfortable.
Huge numbers of young people are resorting to intimacy in their vehicles in order to find privacy, according to our research. The study found that three in ten Gen Zers (30%) have used their cars as impromptu love nests in the past year, compared to a national average of 13% of Brits.
In response, we've launched the Car-ma Sutra Guide – the ultimate handbook to in-car intimacy – offering expert advice on the best positions, car models and legal considerations.

Cazoo’s motoring experts recommend models with spacious interiors, flat-folding seats, and tinted windows.
Toyota Yaris
The Toyota Yaris is a hatchback that’s as reliable in practice as it is discreet in appearance – perfect if you’re after something understated yet dependable.
Compact on the outside but surprisingly practical on the inside, it comes with rear seats that fold down to create a decent amount of space. It’s easy to park, cheap to run, and the hybrid versions mean you can glide quietly into your chosen spot without drawing too much attention.
The Yaris has a long-standing reputation for longevity, so even older models won’t let you down. It’s not flashy, but it gets the job done with minimal fuss – a strong contender for those who prefer practicality over performance.
Used prices start at around £6,500, making it a safe bet for budget-conscious buyers.
Honda Jazz
The Honda Jazz may look small on the outside, but inside it’s surprisingly roomy – which is good news if you like a little more… flexibility.
Thanks to Honda’s clever “Magic Seats”, the rear folds completely flat, turning the compact cabin into a space that’s far more versatile than you’d expect. Whether it’s stretching out, stashing bags, or getting creative with your set-up, the Jazz delivers.
On the road, it’s light, easy to drive, and cheap to run – making it as sensible as it is fun. Affordable second-hand examples are easy to find, with solid reliability meaning you can buy with confidence.
Used prices start at around £7,000, making it one of the most budget-friendly and adaptable hatchbacks out there.
Škoda Octavia Estate
The Škoda Octavia Estate isn’t just a hatchback with ambition – it’s a masterclass in space, comfort, and practicality at an affordable price.
With industry-leading boot space and rear seats that fold completely flat, it’s ideal if you value room to stretch out. Despite its larger size, it’s easy to drive, efficient to run, and doesn’t compromise on comfort.
Inside, the Octavia feels solid and well-built, offering supportive seating and clever storage solutions that make it perfect for everything from road trips to weekends away.
Used prices start at around £9,000, giving you a huge amount of car – and space – for the money.
