    I'm insulted

    Just got an email from VW Australia telling me how wonderful their cars are and how many awards they have won.
    Not a peep from Skoda.
    The worst part is that VW must have got my email address from Skoda in the first place!

    Do not know why Skoda did not win any award with Australias best cars?
    VW Jetta 103TDI did win, is it really better than a Skoda Octavia TDI?

    Skoda probably put thier money into developing their group in Australia rather than paying off Auto groups to give their car awards.

    None of these awards are of value anyway, the only one i find valid is the World Car of the Year awards.
    They claim the TDI Tiguan is the best all round SUV but i much prefer my petrol version with similar fuel consumption.

    Kinda equal but with the Octavia's better equipment and bigger/more accessible boot. Superb wagon did win the large category however (which says more to me, esapecially in an Australian-built league) .

    I still don't understand how the Jetta had more equipment for the same money, or were they leaving out another few thousand for a pack that was added on. We don't get front and rear sensors in the same Octy....so why do they cost the same.
