Thumbs down Skoda Rapid Advert ....

....... what a pile of cr4p that is!!

What's a girls 16th Birthday got to do with the car you drive ..... only Gary Glitter and Jimmy Savile would get excited ......

It's puke inducing - pull it OFF Skoda - you are doing yourself no favours whatsoever!

The smaller turbcharged diesels seem to be the best all round both for economy and a decent performance.

I bought a Skoda vRS new in 2005.....7.5 years and 80k miles so far.....

No major problems....just a front and rear bulb, a bonnet catch replacement and leaking rear door seals...and lost less than 8K in depreciation from new....

One of the best cars I've ever owned in terms of value, cost to run and no hassle to own

Yep the 1.9 Fabia vRS

I do 30 mile journeys each day (generally clear motorway all the way)

what is likely to go crunch then?

You paid less than £13k new for your vRS?
