I recently visited a friend that lives in Sweden (couple hours south of Stockholm). Something he said while I visited stuck with me:

I would say it depend on where you are. City driving is generally not a great experience and its not that uncommon to see a speed bump before almost every crossing, to the point where you get surprised if there isn't one.

Parking and access is much better in the country side, and the highways are fairly good and similar to those found in the west Europe. It not as straight or wide as authobahn, but not as much traffic either.
Major cities in the world where driving there is fun:
