Default Sorry Team

Due to increased driving and limited funds I have swapped my ST170 for a 2005 Fabia VRS, which I'm sure you all know is both a ..... pause to swallow pride .... a Skoda and a Diesel.

So there we go, sorry team.

They don't half go well, whilst occasionally using a small sip of fuel

Dont worry mate, the Skoda is a good car, really torquey with a balanced chassis.

Nothing to be sorry about mate, the harsh truth of the matter is that Skoda's are probably a better car than a Ford these days and the fact that all the brand snobs wont buy them makes them a good buy for those who know a good motor when they see one

yeah, they're not too sprightly below 20, but from 30-60 it pulls well

Yup, its basically a polo with an engine from a golf, but without having to buy some vw badges

Well after a tank of mixed "enthusiastic" driving I got just a little over 50mpg, so I'm happy... for now
