Nope...I've driven Golfs and they are good cars.
I've ridden B2's and they are.....

parlor, I think that you probably have a point, they're both the obvious and somewhat unadventurous choice, although not necessarily a bad one.
I bought mine because I was skiing much more often and I'd enjoyed skiing on them when I'd had them as hire skis. I would probably buy something different these days.

...which variant?
I mean, are you saying the B2 is like a base model 1.6, or it's like the R32?

Wear The Fox Hat, I would say something like the Gti.

Kramer, I would say something like the 1.6 base model. Possibly with a wheel missing.
Just kidding
the B2 is definitely a Renault. Possibly a Clio.

David Murdoch, I would have said a Megane, but yes, I can see the Renault similarities.

I'd say it was definitely the GTi. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's an escort.

'I'd say it was definitely the GTi. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's an escort.'
Or even any good. Which is not a reflection on rhe B2 which is a good alrounder. However its not a Porsche or a scooby doo.

You know it makes sense.

OK I like this game
Volkl Sumo = Hummer H2
Gotama = Land Rover Discovery
Mantra= Freelander
Public Enemy = Rav 4
Tele mounting raises credibility = Defender
Metron B5 = Mazda MX5/Miyata
Armada (any model) = Citroen Saxo with bodykit

No, this has been on my mind for a while now.
I agree with almost all of the comments. Kramer is closest to my reason for posting though. I was more interested in what it would produce.
The game is quite good though... Nice one fatbob

fatbob, have you ever picked up a B5? I would have thought they were more like a base model Scooby, with a full body kit, and gold wheels.

Isn't the B2 more of a Grand Scenic rather than a clio

At one time Yamaha used to make skis (my roomate used to ski on them when I was in Scotland). And maybe they still do.
I guess this appealed to people who liked to think of their skis as motorbikes, or grand pianos.

There must be some TVR skis out there - Fast, noisy, macho with a rear end that might kill you if you're not on your game.

parlor I'm pretty sure the bmw x3 has nothing on the x5. Its made in austria, not germany and is pretty bad at everything really, including going off road.
I would think the b2 is more of a ford mondeo, a rep mobile. Its decent enough, but doesn't really excite. It does what it says on the tin, a ronseal quick drying wood stain of the ski world.

parlor, I like the X3 in longer sizes.

rockyrobin, have you tried pocket rockets? (Which I think are Jeep Grand Cherokees)

Wear The Fox Hat, Fraid I haven't. I'm always trying skis that my instructors say I SHOULD be skiing so now tend not to demo and just adapt my technique to the recommended ski. Usually works out fine.
Pocket rockets are Salomon, yeah? They sound very similar to my Karmas without the twin tip. Anyway I must not try out any more skis with my track record

Think Karmas without a spine.
Or B2s over cooked noodles.
Start off with limp spaghetti. Remove the starch. Now you're getting close.

David Goldsmith, You been reading Private Eye? Hehe, it's all a bit of harmless fun. Bit like me calling my mate Spyderjon's B5's "snowlerblades" Anyway i've been told my Goaty's are gay before now.
