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.
