Jeremy Clarkson likes something...and it's a Skoda!

But as has been explained on TG before, when discussing 'The Cool Wall', just because a car is good at what it does, drives well, handles well etc etc etc, does not necessarily make it 'cool'.

It's a feeling, a perception. Which means you'll see some stuff on that wall that's pretty average to drive. Not singling out the Fabia particularly here, but there you go...

Yes, that's exactly what I was going to try and explain.

The criteria for which Top Gear deae cars 'coo' is completely different from that used when reviewing them and saying they are 'good' or bad'. The fabia vrs is definitely 'good' review-wise but when it comes to deciding whether it's cool or not who knows?!?!!?!

IMO it's so anti-cool that it's almost cool. Or to put it another way, it almost becomes cool again, simply becuase it's so ignored, undervalued and exclusive!

Either way .. enjoy yours if you have one! That's what matters most!
