Nothing to be ashamed of :)
My Skoda Octavia vRS has the venerable VW 1.8 20v Turbo in 180bhp
configuration. A mere chip change (once the warranty is out!!) will
boost me to circa 230bhp which the motor is MORE than capable of
handling. With FWD don't think I'd want more...
A while back I believe either Car or Evo magazine rated it as "best hot
VW". It's a respected car to those in the know and it's pretty safe to
park. Only yesterday a Scoob owner told me "If only that car was 4wd
I'd have had one..."
Massive boot means it's an ideal car for a young family (like mine) and
it's always up there for ownership satisfaction in various surveys -
which is nice :)
Many of us Skoda owners are smug bastards, safe in the knowledge we
bought a quality car for our money, not a badge...
Had 2 SEATs before this motor. I don't see anything at the mo that
will make my next car anything other than a Skoda... If I win the
Lotto I'll get myself an '05 Mustang but keep the Octy for day-to-day
use :D
