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.

 

skoda's are correctly priced vw's mate o at least you aint pad a rip off price for a golf

how dare you move away from ford though, shame on you

 

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

 

The skud is a better car, nothing to appologise for.
tabetha

 

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

 

I am enjoying overtaking in 6th with ease

 

just had a look at the performance on them and they're only 9.5sec 0-60, thought they were quicker than that! time for a remap me thinks. great economy though 8)

 

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

 

They are good cars, shame they look like a something you'd buy in the white goods section of Currys!

 

Hopefully that translates to less things to go wrong :s

 

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

 

Think i might have spotted you the other day, so I took a pic!

 

Lol!
