Hi there,

Ihave just joined. I currently have a kia rio 1.3lx.basic car, 51 plate but totally reliable. As guys from citroen post says with his old car, I kinda agree. Modern cars seem to have a slightly "soft" feel to me...with strange plastics etc. No longer as hard wearing perhaps as they once we were? I the kia it uses old mazda 323 (fastback) engine - round bout 1991-1999 car. Superb car soo far, 95k miles and not a murmur. runrs on lpg/petrol so get aroun 56-60mpg when you convert. do about 20k miles/yr

HOWEVER, was thinking of switching to skoda octavia possibly petrol and wondered what people might advise? don't want to spend more than 4-5 k on car and is should have lowish (below 40k miles) doesnt need to be fast model as prefer basic anyway.

Any shouts? lpg conversions good on octavias? have they hardened valves? heard someone mention to avoid fsi engines but rather go for older mpi engines for this.

Let me know your thoughts?

Thanks,

Leon (:
