I know other car was a couple of miles away not at the same garage

They certainly seem very pleased with their purchase .. they pick it up 1.6 Mpi next week in Anthracite Grey From my ring around there seem to be a few left at the promotional deal price - came across a 1.4 TSi in elegance for 12k Pre Reg .... thats a lot of bang for your buck.

i tend to agree but he plumbed for the 1.6 Mpi in the last 15 minutes ... thanks for your help looks a good friendly forum... If i can convince the other half into a scout when the time comes i might be back.

cheers thats pretty much the deal he is looking at , you can probably get the 1.4 TSI for 1k more ... if you can find one the question is is the 1 k worth it

Hi there not a Skoda owner myself although we might consider one to replace our Subaru Impreza when the time comes. My Father is in the market for one and is test driving a 1.6 Mpi this morning.... My thoughts are that the extra for the 1.4 Tsi would seem worth it , although a little concerned regarding potential for blown turbos or cooling systems. He Plans to keep the car 5 years minimum. Any thoughts on which is best ( I'm sure its the VRs but outside his budget) Any help you can offer very much appreciated ... looks a good forum by the way.
