Readers on wheels: Swiss News does a brief survey to find out the driving preferences of a cross-section of our readers.
| Fonction | Car Survey |
Are you a stickler for German cars or would you prefer the big, spacious American ones? Or would you rather go in for a low maintenance Japanese car?
Is a station wagon your choice or are you more inclined towards a sleek sports model?
Most important, are you satisfied with your choice of brand and model, and its performance?
Through this short "fun" survey, Swiss News aims to pinpoint what's really hot on wheels today. We have selected a cross-section of people from different nationalities and professions to answer some of the questions.
