I should know better than to believe the prices in advertising. Just like apartment/house prices, car prices are way higher in reality. My enthusiasm for the new Audi A1 has dropped after a check on Bytbil.com to see that the automatic with the 'slightly bigger engine' (122 hp) is a crazy 260000kr! The starting price was 160000kr in the newspaper. They must be kidding for a car less than 4m long. For the same money I could get a Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart with a truly massive engine.

I am all for good design but this whole VW-family is crazy. The VW Polo, Skoda Fabia, Seat Ibiza and Audi A1 are essentially the same car. And with a price of 150000kr, the Seat makes the most sense. Even if the interior is quite uninspired and plastic.

Right, now I get to continue being a tourguide. Perfect cross weather is not really so perfect to take my family on a walking tour.
