Venture outside Dublin & the prevalence of Toyotas & Mondeos/Fiestas becomes more noticeable.

Owning one does give you a tendency to see more of them. I've noticed a difference since coming back to Cork full time. There's still a good few around but not as common as Dublin. I've also noticed that Dukn definitely has a higher amount of new model (F Series) BMWs proportionately than down here.
