Really tempted with the Vrs but also the avensis appears well specd, cute little V40 hidden away in there too ( scrap the V40 saw a white one on the road today, looked like a maggot Apologies \to V40 owners

I would opt for the Avensis, it comes with a very useful T4 (Testbook version 4.Computer Diagnostic System)....

not now it doesn't (post amended )

Octavia VRS would be my first thought Dave, but not having driven most of the others would necessarily be a biassed point of view

Hi Dave
I would be happy with any of the Skoda above VW cars really but VRS would be my first choice, who would of thought anyone would have picked a skoda but they have moved on loads since 80s and 90s plus 1000's of taxi drivers can not be wrong

The superb is, well, just that. I have the estate, but with the 170 engine, and love it. Check what kit the SE has, though, as it may not have ALL the toys you are used to. Only thing is it seems to be the oldest / highest mileage of the bunch. But it is HUGE!

Would be the BMW for me, as they do drive well!

As for the insignia, we have them at my current place of work, absolute pain to drive and the boot on the estate is unusable.

Guess I still havent Grown up yet 184 BHP diesel

Stupidly quick...

Right choice Dave, would have been mine too, no contest.

Well, I can't argue with the choice of a Skoda diesel.

skoda diesel

Skoda Diesel VRS with bucket seats looks to be nice do we have a full body pic of the car

Only took this one, too busy at the moment

Very nice and I really like the colour too, these could well be the car to look out for in the future I would not mind having one or driving one cheers Arctic

Looks a nice motor Dave, good choice

Nice cae Dave. Good choice mate.

It has a stupid turn of speed, good spec. comfortable, corners like its on rails. Currently driving it like I stole it and it still returns mid 40's to the gallon but........ I was out in the 75 at the weekend, no contest when it comes to the overall cabin and driving experience, and style, well we all know the answer to that one don't we

.SKODA OCTAVIA 2.0 TDI CR VRS 5dr HATCHBACK DIESEL MANUAL. Would deff have been my choice from that lot. Be nice if it was an auto though.
