The question was: What car would most embarass you, not how much CO2's your Impreza produces!

my mate's white Skoda Felicia is embarrassing. Especially as the fan belt slips, attracting attention and he can't be bothered getting it tightened. He's been trying to give it away for free for the past 3 months and no one will have it

Oh no not a Felattio! Still, they are light cars and with a few mods can probably go fairly quick. Can't be seen in one though

One motoring journalist said it was one of those cars that you should drive before you die. I don't know if he meant die from embarrasment Seriously though I'm hankering to drive one after his recommendation.

When you grow up and your parents have the choice of the, amazing handling 2CV, which showed all the handling traits of a blancmange on stilts, or the mighty Fiat 126, which in daffodil yellow, which did wonders for my masculinity and not too mention my flexibility getting into those back seats.

I quickly learned that walking was faster and a lot less embarrassing.

2cv is a good handling car and much quicker than 30 odd horsepower would suggest.
