Yet another person going from VW to Skoda....interesting.
Last Friday put the deposit down for a Octavia wagon 103tdi
Will be sadly saying goodbye to the vw golf hatch and hello to my new fully leathered skoda.
Just need to wait 6 months
Yet another person going from VW to Skoda....interesting.
Interesting that the Octavia is currently outselling both the Kizashi and the i45.
--------------------------
Not to brag but I wrote that! If it's Wheels you're referring to I mean... And isn't it a good thing!? I sat in a Kizashi and hated the rear seat, the boot is tiny and the only nice space is the front (it is grey value though). The i45's overdone styling turns people off I think.
Well done Elseano too. The 103TDI is a cracker of an engine! Sucks about the wait though .

congrats!!
hope it doesn't really take longer than 6 months!
fabia over polo
octavia over golf
superb over passat
this is the trend lately everywhere (worldwide) and VAG does not like this one bit. rumour has it they now want to "derefine" the skoda brand now!!!

I think K1W1 said it really well in a previous thread on the matter, or was it someone else? oh well.. Why lower the Skoda brand? Rather it would make sense to elevate the others? Skoda's are becoming so popular because they are Audi/VW parts packaged cleverly. We all know this, and its part of the reason we all own one.
VAG should set the standard with Skoda and work up from there if they want to have a strong and prosperous future.
Saw the Polo GTI yesterday, but no pricing as yet.
I actually really like the looks, and at this point in time, I think I would get the Polo GTI over the Fabia RS. I would have got the Fabia over the old Polo though
Speaking to the dealer, there's no sign of the Fabia for Aus anyway, and more than likely wont see it for a while, which is a shame... (On the other hand, it's not like they can currently fulfill the required numbers anyway) Otherwise, I totall agree with the other 2 comparisons.
New Polo definitely over the Fabia! The facelifted Fabia (and Roomster) interior is just awful... but in saying that, only the Polo and Fabia have soft-touch plastics (on the dash) in the light-car class so they're definitely high-quality. I'd probably have a Fabia RS over a Polo GTI because of how much cheaper it's likely to turn out (especially having 5-doors as standard). But apparently the SEAT Ibiza Cupra (the third triplet) is the best-driving.
