Expensive cars come with the territory of being a Premier League player.
The status, the spending and the brash tinted windows are all part of the package.
But what is the most popular motor on the top flight circuit ?
1.
RANGE ROVER SPORT
This year has seen universal love for the daddy of all SUVs.
It’s fast, it’s full of tricks, it looks awesome – and it was mad
in Blighty. A worthy winner!
Drivers include: Darren Bent (Aston Villa); Jon Obi Mikel, John Terry (both Chelsea);
Scott Parker (Fulham); Luis Suarez (Liverpool); Ryan Giggs, Javier Hernandez,
Wayne Rooney (all Man United); Jonjo Shelvey (Swansea City); Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur)
Price: up to £102,900
Top speed: 140mph
Power: 385bhp
0-60mph: 7.2 secs
2.
PORSCHE CAYENNE
For the second year, the surly SUV pips its road-hogging rival to second spot.
Could it be the speed of the Turbo that the Prem stars love?
Whatever it is, it’s still the most popular Porsche ever!
Drivers include: Scott Parker (Fulham); Steven Gerrard, Kolo Touré (both Liverpool);
Yaya Touré (Man City); Tom Cleverley, Patrice Evra, Robin van Persie, Chris Smalling (all Man United);
Younes Kaboul (Tottenham Hotspur); Carlos Cuéllar (Sunderland)
Price: Up to £90,790
Top speed: 173mph
Power: 550bhp
0-60mph: 4.8 secs
3.
AUDI Q7
The sporty R8 got a sound showing further up the top ten,
but if it’s German muscle the Prem’s finest are after, the Q7 wins it.
Granted, the Cayenne literally gives it a run for its money,
but some argue this is the better looking of the two.
Drivers include: Kieran Gibbs, Bacary Sagna (both Arsenal);
Fernando Torres (Chelsea); Luis Nani, Rio Ferdinand (both Man United);
Steven Nzonzi (Stoke City); Phil Bardsley (Sunderland); Mousa Dembele,
Emmanuel Adebayor (both Tottenham Hotspur) Chris Brunt (West Brom)

Top speed: 155mph
Power: 500bhp
0-60mph: 5.5 secs
4.
ASTON MARTIN DB9
Since its inception in 2004, this British beast has become a bona fide favourite
with the famous football-playing folk. Very cool, very fast, very nice all round!
Drivers include: Darren Bent (Aston Villa); Frank Lampard, Juan Mata,
Fernando Torres (all Chelsea); Gareth Barry (Everton); Glen Johnson (Liverpool);
James Milner (Man City); Peter Crouch, Matthew Etherington (both Stoke City);
Jake Livermore (Tottenham Hotspur)
Price: Up to £128,653
Top speed: 190mph
Power: 470bhp
0-60mph: 4.6 secs
5.
BENTLEY CONTINENTAL
No round-up of top flight players’ preferred wheels would be complete
without the GT – the Downton Abbey of the nation’s training ground car parks.

Martin Skrtel (all Liverpool); Gael Clichy, David Silva (both Man City);
