Smart Skoda drivers

AN amusing new study has found that Skoda drivers have a higher IQ than drivers of any other car brand. The study, completed in the UK by Scrap Car Comparison surveyed more than 2,000 drivers across the country with an IQ test.

Smart Skoda drivers displayed an average IQ score of 99, in keeping with perceptions of Skoda drivers as sensible and practical on the roads. Skoda drivers ranked an impressive six points above the average IQ recorded in the study, of 93.70.

Other intelligent drivers include Suzuki drivers who came in second place with a similarly higher IQ of 98.09, and Peugeot drivers who ranked in third place with an average IQ of 97.79. Mini and Mazda drivers completed the top five with average IQs of 97.41 and 95.91 respectively.

At the other end of the scale, Land Rover drivers collected the unfortunate crown of drivers with the lowest average IQ score of 88.58. The other two bottom places went to Fiat drivers with an average IQ of 90.14 and BMW drivers with 91.68.

The study also looked into car colour, finding that white car drivers have the highest average IQ, suggesting that driving a white Skoda might well be a hallmark of a brilliant mind!
