    let's not forget Skoda was voted the no. 1 brand by over 70,000 Top Gear fans. interestingly VW, their masters, came 19th!
    they are great cars, very good quality for about 10-15% less than their equivalent VW model. that AWD Octavia diesel wagon is a gem of a car imho.

    what's bad is that we don't get the Fabia, possibly because the demand is too high in Europe for Skoda to cope with. what a great little car that is!

    I agree!!! And all the Asian carmakers are shitting their pants right now 'cause a quality product is predating their price-range.

    Viva la Skoda

    I can vouch as well for the Skodas. Mate in Malay has one for a few years with the turbo 20V engine and she moves alright! Has excellent build quality thanks to VW. Perfect for those who don't want to be showing off and keep it under the radar.

    Thats the same donk as in the Mk4 GTI Golf with a slightly larger turbo trim. The new generation runs the Mk5 GTI engine.
