Skoda Fabia
Last week I had my car on service and was given a fairly new Skoda Fabia as a replacement car for the day. I live in Sweden, so I had the car fitted with spiked tires, just in case. As you might already be aware - these tires adds some extra noise, compared to ordinary friction tires or summer tires. Anyway - I just could not understand why the car was fitted with a stereo. Especially as I had to rev it over 4000 rpm to get a decent high-way speed.But all is not bad - having to rev means having to shift alot and that makes the driving more challenging. To sum thing up, it is slow, noisy and requires quite alot of shifting - but also kind of fun in that regard. It felt good to get my own car back.

Nah - we actually want people to enter the contest :-P
Just curious.. which car do you have, Johan? ;-)
A VW Passat 2.0 FSI - drak blue. It is not a sportscar, but it is good at cruising highways - comfortable, resonable quiet and responsive (to throttle and brakes).
