About This Quiz

Before you take your heart into the dealership for service, you need to know where to take it. No two car makers have continually captivated and impressed the world like Ford and Chevy, and we think your very soul is more one than the other. Which one it is it? You'll have to answer our questions to find out. 

As we put your heart on our diagnostic machines, the way you approach the driving life, the things you think about certain cars and your desire to take the roads less traveled will point us in the direction of your heart's automaker. You might be as tough as a Ford F-150 or as efficient as a Chevy Spark, but we'll have to see how your heart is doing before we can truly make the call. Will we come up with the same thing you are thinking?

Before you set off on the highway of this quiz, make sure you are in the appropriate lane. Signal the choice that best answers our question based upon your preferences and your heart, and we'll let you know which company's soul beats deep inside you.
