Skoda Superb. Unbelievable amount of car for the cash. Loads of room in the front and back, diesel engines even I can bear and they cost nowt.


Ah, yes, VAG's Talbot Tagora. I haven't seen one on the road yet.

Preregistered ones are Mondeo prices. It's bizarre that they aren't selling loads of them, IMO.

They are Fantastic cars. Think Passat for Polo money. And there are V6 TDi modls too I believe.

Make sure you get the Umbrella too, it is in the door like on a RR Phantom.

Think Long Wheelbase Passat more like.

But you can't have 4mo - got to keep 'some' of the good stuff for VW/Audi

:-)

Loads of 'em being bought by mini-cabbers around here.

Expect the Superb to be worth about 20p next year.

Yebbut we have Passat minicabs round here.

Hello,

I think it's just down to the name SKODA and the badge the car has. Some people just associate them with being rubbish. I would definitely have a Skoda Octavia RS as I watched a few police programmes on telly and they managed to outrun the police Volvo's which was quite amazing. A good advert for the RS!

Drove one today. Quite quick, but not mental. Didn't get a chance to test handling as dear old mum was in the passenger seat and starts screaming if the throttle's touched during a bend.

Wow, less than a Tagora.

I'm surprised I haven't noticed any. I usually notice Skodas.

BTW, if anyone does find a Tagora, especially a V6...

Richard

Not a Tagora, but scroll down until you see something for =A32000

I *will* own one.

Are you 100% on that? I was looking into the whole old corolla thing a while ago, and there are definately supercharged cars that look pretty much like that with FWD.

The AE8d engined corollas of this age are RWD

they are *the* learner drifter car in japan. Mint ones fetch a fortune over there and are starting to over here too.

The AE86 is the Corolla GT over here. The engine is a 4AGE as far as I know. They already fetch stupid money here.
