Still bloody good cars has to be said and whats more, more reliable than most chelsea tractors that i know of!! Just a shame the octavia has "only" a 1500KG tow limit but thats by no means the end of the world for most caravans, especially with one axle!!

Their latest and larger Skoda Superb has cleaned up in every dam award going this year!!

They certainly didnt call it 'superb' for nothing!!

Badge snobs are mugs!!

I'm a mug !

Now an A4 3ltr Cabrio  Then Im In !

Looked at a very nice 12 reg Octavia VRS today, ex-demo-but I like my Saab convertible too much! (VRS is very nice though although it is white which shows the dirt!).

No way we'll go away from 4 x4 for towing. Sorento has been really good so far so keeping it for the time being!

SWMBO loves it and its her car!

Completely agree with you. I drove a Superb on an icy skid pan and it beat the pants off Insignia and BMW.

If I were poor, and couldn't afford to run my Landy, I'd probably have a Skoda. I don't know how I would tow through the Pyrennes as we did this year, or how we would take the caravan to the Highlands for stunning winter hoidays. I guess if one limits one aspirations sufficiently, a Skoda would be an excellent choice

I find Skoda drivers are really well mannered too. I was towing one out of the floods in Castleford yesterday and he was really grateful, and even offered to pay me! I couldn't believe it, his car was flooded bonnet deep, his engine drowned, and he was offering me money! What a gent.

Anyways, got to go, my lad has a party and I've got 6 excited chaps to take paintballing. Still, at least they all fit in my car eh? And all their kit, and I don't need to worry about the weather either. All this a nearly 40 to the gallon. Happy days.

You're right, you don't need a Chelsea tractor, but damn, its more fun if you have one!

....& like any other dishonest car salesman you are
implying it is safe to tow at 111% instead of admitting
to the customer that Skoda cannot supply the 'Chelsea
tractor' that is required to safely tow his 1600kg
caravan.
