Single guys have a lot on their minds: Work, life, dating, and, of course, which car to park in their driveway. It goes without saying that if you're a bachelor, you’re probably looking to get into a car that will attract some attention. With that in mind, we decided to put together our list of the 10 best cars for bachelors.

We've got everything from affordable hatchbacks, to muscle cars, to luxury coupes — so you should be able to find a car on our list that to match your own personal image and lifestyle. Let’s get started.

2017 Chevrolet Camaro

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro is one of our personal favorites when it comes to muscle cars. Available in many trim levels, the Camaro has something for every bachelor at any budget. The lineup kicks off with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine making 275 horsepower or a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 335 horsepower.

However, if you want some impressive performance in your ride, we highly recommend going for the Camaro SS, which is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 making an outstanding 455 horsepower. The exterior styling is very aggressive and sleek, meaning you’ll surely invite the attention of just about anybody who sees you in this beast.

2017 Ford Mustang

The 2017 Ford Mustang is another muscle car that demands attention. With its notably distinctive front end and overall beefy look, the Mustang is one sexy sports car. Like the Chevrolet Camaro, the Mustang is also available with a four-cylinder engine; with Ford’s EcoBoost turbocharger, it pumps out a strong 310 horsepower. Other engines include a 300-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 and a 435-horsepower 5.0-liter V8, and if you’re a bachelor who really wants to show off on the track, you may want to check out the Shelby GT350 — powered by a 5.2-liter V8 that produces an insane 526 horsepower.

2017 Dodge Challenger

Looking for a muscle car that provides an outstanding level of comfort on a road trip? Look no further than the Dodge Challenger. Known for its energetic and retro looks, the 2017 Challenger offers a perfect balance of power, sportiness, and comfort.

Unlike the Camaro and the Mustang, the Challenger doesn’t offer a four-cylinder engine. The lineup kicks off with a 305-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 and goes all the way up to a mind-blowing 707 horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine for the Challenger Hellcat. The sweet spot falls right in the middle with the Challenger R/T offering 375 horsepower from a 5.7-liter V8 and the Challenger SRT, which produces 485 horsepower. No matter which model you go for, the Challenger will effortlessly dazzle anyone every time you rev your engine.

2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The best thing about shopping for a new car as a bachelor is that you don’t have to worry about being practical. That’s where this legendary two-seater fits the bill. For pure driving bliss, it doesn’t get any better than the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. 0 to 60 mph comes in just 6.1 seconds while the Mazda's handling is extremely sharp and agile. If you’re looking to fascinate anyone with your driving skills, the MX-5 Miata will do the trick.

2017 Chevrolet Corvette

Staying with the unpractical theme, the Chevrolet Corvette is also another legendary two-seat sports car. One of the sexiest sports cars on our list, the Corvette is known for being one of the most influential and stylish vehicles in its segment. Carrying a starting price tag of just over $55,000, the 2017 Corvette is powered by a 460-horsepower V8 engine that helps it run from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.

Its brutal performance will really help you test the limits of your driving skills while its exterior will attract a lot of attention every time you hit the road or track. If it fits your budget and bachelor lifestyle, we highly recommend giving the Corvette a test drive.

2017 Lexus IS

So two-door cars are not your thing, and, as a bachelor, there is no way you’re going to buy a sedan like the Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry. You want and deserve something fashionable and something luxurious. Meet the 2017 Lexus IS — one of the most stylish luxury sedans in its segment.

The brand’s signature spindle grille adds a level of aggressiveness to all of its vehicles, while the interior is packed with high-quality and luxury materials.

Imagine for a second that you’re at a party and a bunch of other guys show up in their expensive luxury coupes and step out of them with a sense of achievement and confidence. What do you do? You pull up in the 2017 Infiniti Q60.

The successor to the G37 coupe, the Q60 is easily one of the best-looking luxury coupes on the market at the moment. Its stylish front end and its overall classy and sporty silhouette make this an extremely sensual luxury car that will attract everyone’s attention. Performance comes courtesy of a 208 horsepower four-cylinder turbo, a 300 horsepower twin-turbo V6 or — if that’s not enough — you may want to venture into the 400-horsepower world with the Q60 Red Sport.

No matter which engine you pick, the exterior of the 2017 Infiniti Q60 will definitely get you all the attention you’re seeking.
