Yeah the quality is in favour of Skoda, usually top 10 in what car, when VW Audi often fail to make to top 20. They also break down less than VWs

Taxi drivers have a reputation in buying the most reliable and economical. Skoda comes out tops with them

Agree that it's a VAG car and it uses approx 60% common parts with other VW/Audis with the same platform but there are definite differences in quality and styling that make a difference.

OMFG, my sister lives in Snettisham and in my experience from visiting Hunstanton is the biggest tuliphole on the Norfolk coast, almost as bad as Great Yarmouth. If you had any class you would have got a nice cottage in Blakeney or Wells...

Edit: Whatever you do, don't get a Chinese from the one in the precinct unless you like to be a masochist with your bowels. The Indian next door is alright though.

You should be able to wind the band up yourself anyway

The "power band"? Where's that then? I found the umbrella holder and the free umbrella?

[DodgyAgent]

I don't pay for servicing. All part of the lease and all taken care of by the lovely Alice.

Mine always got a wash and a hoover and I get to drive a nice courtesy car around for a day (I always make sure I insist I do NOT get an A2 though. Bloody horrid things)

When it's three years old, it's going to Kwik fit.

Do you have to pay VAG prices for servicing?

150 quid just to change the oil (Oh, they do a bit more than that, but when I asked "what" the answer was silence).

And they didn't even clean it (which the pug garage always did).

That TIPTRONIC is sweet!

Just need to run it in and get it chipped...

Congratulations my friend
You have many years of good fun driving to you in front

[Churchill]

MB, It's the 5 Speed TIPTRONIC. The 6 Cylinder stops it sounding too much like a tractor on start-up. I had an Audi A4 1.9 diesel before the Skoda arrived. I liked it. it had 99K miles and still drove like new!

Not sure about DSG - how would I know?
