kavan-k Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 My friend had one before he got one of them new audi quattro tiny car things. He had his remapped and it was a beast, said the same as above tho, it drank oil like mad! His was blue aswell, nice looking car imo. That green is horrendous tho lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 A local lad who changes his car more than his socks actualy held on to one for a record few months said it was one of the better cars he's owned. But skoda just can't shake there past really you can bang on about all the good thing the car has and does. Soon as you mention its a skoda people just Aren't interested.

Cammy R Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 My Mum has a white one interior feels cheap like most VW group cars, as above drinks oil like anything, it smokes like a diesel, stupid amounts of torque steer, noisy in the rear but its a great car to drive really quick as well just drinks fuel, think the engine gearbox debate is mentioned by people that have never owned one tbh as mum's one has had zero problems!

Just my opinion dude skoda looks very different to the Seat, its expected with a 90's Toyota that cost me under a grand though just think the interior is made of cheap plastic for a 12 plate car, the guy asked for a heads up aso i gave him my opinion and obviously people will disagree with me no offence intended i just listed the problems as its a cracking wee car to drive, its away to Skoda soon to look at the smoking problem but its never effected the way it drives so unsure what it could be.

FMuscle Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 How gay and slow lol Not that slow and much more reliable than a Skoda... Just sayin' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FMuscle Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Not trying to change anyone's mind... I know it doesn't work like that, like there's no way in hell you'd make me like German cars or Fords, While some others swear by them... I just know for fact they're reliable, and they can move if you want to. It'll still never beat a super car...Over and out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieLewby Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I dont see why you would want to buy such a new car when there are much nicer cars out there for the the same price, there just maybe a few years older. you can get alot of car for £8000 and if you want something smart and German why not a golf gti, decent mk5 can be had for £7000 but for that money id be looking at skylines lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addymk2 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Tbh,outside of the vag group your options are pretty limited, top of my head things to look at;1) Renaultsport Clio 2002) Abarth Punto3) Colt Ralliart 4) Corsa Vxr5) Golf GTI Ed 30.Small engine doesn't necessarily mean cheap running costs. I'm getting an average of 34mpg out of my Clio 182, reads 36 on the dash! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Try and get a low mileage one, lots of little things go wrong with vag cars. I speak from experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJim Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Lots of ups and downs. Cheers peoples.still doesnt change my mind I want one! The sound of the lil 180hp engine with a map sounds impresive. I know its a skoda but imo i think they seem to be getting better and better. 10 years back wouldnt of thought of getting a skoda. Intirior is very dull in the skoda. More spec in a £800 car. But its mods and cons at the end of the day. Its like i dont like legends seat.. im in love with the skoda... same engines but different shell.. everyone is entitled to there opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
