Quiz: 'What kind of car are you?'
The British publication, "Car Magazine," wants to know what kind of car your personality is. Are you a Ferrari or a Fiat? A Lamborghini or a Lada? Take their quiz of automotive and motor racing trivia and find out. I found it embarrassingly difficult, and turned out to be a VW Golf.
In my defense, one question about the car Crockett and Tubbs drove on "Miami Vice" threw me. Of course everyone knows they drove a Ferrari Daytona Spyder in the first two seasons. And it's no secret it was actually a 1980 Corvette disguised as a Ferrari. And who can forget that the fake Daytona was blown up at the beginning of season three and replaced with a (real) Testarossa. So while I was wondering if it was a trick question or not, time ran out. Crap.
But that was only one question I got wrong, to which you now know the right answer. So not only do you have one up on me already, your autosports knowledge alone (can you believe not one question about Jr.?), should be enough to better my score.
Be sure to share your results with the rest of the class, and watch out for the tricky ones. And no cheating! One freebie should be enough.

It said I was a Golf too. WAY too F1-biased for my (American) tastes.

Exactly this was designed for the Euro folk. Somebody needs to come up with a similar quiz for us americans. It said i too was a Golf.

If you're perfect or close to it you are a Ferrari F599. Above average is a BMW 3-series. Middle of the road is a Volkswagon Golf. Lower than average is a Fiat Doblo. I pruposely got them all wrong and it said I was a Ford Fusion.

Even though I got all the Motorsport questions wrong, (I know, shame on me!), I still got 3-Series. I got all but one other question right, which involved the Euro Focus, a Swift Sport, a Clio 197 and something else Euro-only. Good fun though.

Ferrari... how do the kids say.. "woot!" :)
I did get the emissions one wrong, I picked the Smart - I'm guessing it was the Prius?
It was a fun quiz, I agree someone should come up with an American version.. hmmm... Maybe I'll talk to my java/flash guy tomorrow.

BMW 3-series coupe.
definitely European biased but then again, its UK based publication, it should be.
So, when do they send me my 3-series coupe?

Ferrari 559 Fiorano, not F599, if I'm not mistaken.

Said I was a Golf as well. What's with the stupid arbitrary racing questions? I didn't get a single one right. They just seemed a bit forced in there. I don't know HOW many races Schumacher won; all I know is he's got a lot of money and made two horrible Batman movies.

I think this is some sort of marketing ploy for VW... there is no way I am a VW ;)

Rubbish. It's asking crap about racers and racetracks. I track my cars but I don't know or care one bit about any professional racer or race series. Watching car racing is like watching porn: frustrating. Why observe someone else doing something you'd rather be doing?

Took it again with more blind guesses on the racing questions (the SAME questions)...got lucky. 3-series.

Okay what a hoot! I am a Fiat Doblo, surely the lowest rung on the ladder. And, ya know, even though I never heard of the thing, I think I might enjoy owning one after seeing it. I did own a 2CV Citroen once as well as a Renault Le Car and a Simca 1204.

I'm a Ferrari 599 GTB..
I found the last question funny though, which car has the fewest emissions. Because I know it's the Smart, but clicked Prius anyway because I knew that's the wanted answer. Prius has some shocking results actually, Car Magazine needs to do their homework.

dont know the exact numbers but australias greenguide rates the prius above the fortwo and forfour. course, I'm sure thats dependent upon the figures provided by the mftr and doesnt reflect real world, where it might flipflop.

I almost clicked Smart too, but instead went with the "correct" answer. Politically correct that is.

Alright! F599 for me!

I missed one (making me a BMW 3-series) about the pocket rocket 0-60 times. I guessed the Renault. Anyone know the right answer?
