Top 10 Footballers who drive road cars

Footballers are known for their extravagant lifestyles, but nothing causes more attention than the purchase of a new car.

However, not every footballer spends their salary on a supercar. We’ve picked out ten players who drive normal road cars, who wouldn’t stick out too much if you drove past them in the street.

Jesus Navas

Car Model:         Nissan Micra

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:11:17

Games played to pay off car:      0.13

It’s no surprise that Navas drives a regular road car, after all some of his performances are hardly supercar worthy.

N’Golo Kante

Car Model:         Mini Cooper SD

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:12:58

Games played to pay off car:      0.14


For such a superstar, Kante does have an incredibly modest choice of vehicle.

Fernando Llorente

Car Model:         Fiat Punto

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:13:52

Games played to pay off car:      0.15


Llorente is a beast on the field, but his car choice suggests he’s tame off it.

Benedikt Howedes

Car Model:         Volkswagen Beetle Cabrio

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:15:52

Games played to pay off car:      0.18

An efficient German defender has gone for an efficient German vehicle.

Gianluigi Buffon

Car Model:         Fiat 500

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:19:48

Games played to pay off car:      0.22

Buffon clearly loves to keep his car choice modest and Italian.

Salvatore Sirigu

Car Model:         Mini Cooper

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:21:09

Games played to pay off car:      0.23

Like Buffon, Sirigu is a giant, so it’s surprising to see if he even fits behind the wheel of a Mini Cooper.

Pedro

Car Model:         Peugeot 280GTi

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:23:41

Games played to pay off car:      0.26

A rather modest choice of car for a footballer who’s won everything there is to win in the game.

Willian

Car Model:         BMW M3

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:26:07

Games played to pay off car:      0.29


An upmarket road car, but one that won’t stand out too much in the leafy suburbs of Surrey.

Darren Fletcher

Car Model:         Chevrolet Impala

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:26:49

Games played to pay off car:      0.30

Another nice road car which won’t stand out too much.

Joey Barton

Car Model:         Toyota Prius

Hours/Minutes/Second playing to pay off car:  00:28:56

Games played to pay off car:      0.32

Always one to express his views on everything, Barton’s car choice is clearly based upon climate change.
