I'm very curious about the new Skoda Roomster. It looks cool and practical on picture.
I'm going test it when it comes out on the swedish market. Has enyone seen it in the reality?
Is it as big as it looks on picture? :)

And Fiat are good in some areas, like small cars. The Panda is just fantastic, but the Croma (the estate-station wagon thing) is awful.

Never buy Renault, but Peugeot are excellent and the ride quality in a Peugeot 406 / 407 is phenomenal.
Actually Peugeot is known to be one of the lass good cars, they are sais to use old technology and I know many who had the same problems. I rather buy a Renault than Peugeot. Watch up for their cars if you choose it.
Some time ago a generation of Peugeot cars were able to start burning in the garage, that also happened.

Just my oppinion.

Well I'm on my 3rd Peugeot 206 in under 10 years,and never had a problem with any of them!!!
Peugeot Diesel engines are by far one the longest running and reliable engines ever built,although I've switched to a Petrol motor this time on my 206CC

I also talked generally, but what I focus alot on is the quality if they where involved in a road accident. But the problems people have had with the Peugeot cars talking generally are the same stupid ones because old technology which is improved on most new cars.
I can't say much as I don't have any personal experiences, just some statistics I know :wink:

I don't have much interest in cars. Only the ones in videogames. :mrgreen:

Just saw today's Top Gear (British motoring programme) and the Koenigsegg CCX... goes 250 mph!

Sex. On. Wheels.

That is a truly Concorde piece of engineering.

It's not how far it goes, but how it goes that far that counts.
I love Koenig, but it's a racing car for the road, not a road car for racing, the later being the kind I prefer (me loving the Ferrari Maranello and not giving a crap about the excelent Enzo... WTF? I may love it, but try getting a lady in it and making a few miles slow and sweet along the sea coast... as if you could... 8-) And you can with a maranello or a lamborghini, you can't with a koenigsegg... or an Enzo... or an F1 for that matter, and I happen to love those)...

Kind Regards,
AMR

Woot! You too!

WE HAVE A BELIEVER!

Seriously though, Test Drive Unlimited looks fantastic. Orgasmic, even.

I'm downloading a demo now. Sweeeet! :D

Be warned, it's only 12 minutes long, although you can restart the demo whenever. Tell me how it is!

I think the demo is quite good, but it's at an early work in progress stage. The steering is a bit loose, and some of the road-side graphics could be better. But they got till September to get it right. The demo is a bit short to fully appreciate, though it's 15 minutes. ;) The Massively Open Online Racing (M.O.O.R.), as they call it, seems like a nice gameplay addition to the usual racing part. :D
