How for example, can how a car drives be described as 'dull' or 'exciti8ng'? It's nonsense - it's a car for goodness sake!
I agree with the comment about JDP surveys, but having driven both Lada 1500 and Fiat 124S I can appreciate the "dull" / "exciting" description too. Similarly the contrast between the Nissan Bluebird and Austin Montego is quite distinct. Some cars are just much more engaging than others.
For Skoda jokes- "What do you call a Skoda with twin exhausts?" "A wheelbarrow!"
I've had two Fabias- one with the old Skoda 1.4 pushrod lump and my present 11 year old 1.9TDI. They also have completely different characters.
