I'd be interested to see how much abuse that car could take with that power running the standard 'box ect, probably never see much abuse judging by the owners mods but a decent sleeper it is.

Those vag motors seem to take the punishment, the drive shafts on the 4wd cars give in way before the bottom ends fail.

Does it?!

Not sure how as a car mechanic/mot tester or whatever you are you can't take them seriously, do you see a high amount of failed ones? Not seen this? http://www.skoda.co.uk/why-skoda/awards or this http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/in...d-power-survey


Not that it matters a fuck what it sounds like as cars don't define a person oddly enough. But really if you mock a Skoda when you drive a knackerd bright yellow saph then.......

"People in glass houses...." and all that jazz

I don't own a Skoda myself, the wife has a Fabia for the station, I was just saying you're not in a position to mock them really given your cars.

My wife and I have several cars, if you must know my daily is an E91 320d m-sport touring and we also have a CLS 350d AMG line.

Bloody hell u take things a bit too seriously mate lol. I know skoda is vag, We look after a fleet of taxi Octavias at work and they do moon mileage and keep going. I was only mucking about. My saph may be old yellow and knackered but at least I've got one

it sounds good when I say I drive an AMG merc but the reality isn't quite as glamorous as it sounds being the little A210 AMG
that sierra estate for me is the real definition of what a sleeper should be, a basic looking old banger with something totally unexpected under the bonnet!
the skodas obviously a cracking motor but its a fast car to start with tuned up to be even faster so not entirely surprising even though it looks standard.

I wish I had a fancy Skoda.

Then I could sell it and buy a knackered old Saff.

Love Sierra's that's why I'm here.

Love the brown estate, wow.
