Britain's sexiest car - the Volvo Estate!

The Volvo Estate has cast aside its boring image - by being voted the best car for having sex in the back seat.

The 'boring' Volvo Estate is Britain's sexiest car, according to a new survey /Ext

It turns out the car has actually seen more action than any other - largely thanks to the extra space, according to a new survey.

And there was a boost for the white van man with the multi-purpose Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van in second place.

The survey of 4,000 people for yesinsurance.co.uk put the VW Camper van in third place, the BMW 3 Series Saloon in fourth and the Ford Escort in fifth.

According the pollsters, some 68% of people have had sex in a car and one in 10 say they had even got fruity while driving.

Six per cent said they had damaged their vehicles while getting busy - but only one in 100 of these were bold enough to claim on their insurance.

A yesinsurance.co.uk spokesman said: "It would seem that space is the most important issue for couples who want to enjoy themselves."

Meanwhile, another survey found that more than a million motorists think about sex rather than the road ahead.

Research from car insurer More Than found one in five drivers admit to concentrating behind the wheel less than 75% of the time, with 1.2 million thinking mostly about sex.

For 3.2 million drivers work was the main focus and for 2 million more it was family issues that dominated.
