Hi all, had a Seat Leon 1.9TDi 110 but then decided it was time for a change. Tested an old (X I think) BMW 330i estate... yea it was fast but it felt SO heavy and above all it didn't feel "quick" (if that makes any sense?). So I took out a 2003 Octavia VRS estate and just had a huge grin on my face, I am now the proud owner of that VRS . What a joy getting back to pertrol, the 1.8 20V Turbo is superb. I'm still coming to terms with how different the Leon and the Octavia feel considering that the basic platform is the same.

Take it easy all...

Hello and welcome

I drove a bmw 325ci recently, first time i drove a beemer (being only 23) and although it was great and well engineered i couldnt help wonder why it was worth

Welcome to Briskoda. Nice to have another happy convert aboard!

(I'm hoping the dreaded misquote engine doesn't now spring into life). :(

Hello and welcome.

i love older BMW's but i Skoda's are such good value for money, you can't help but buy them - lol....

Welcome! you gotta love the sound of a decent BMW engine though.

Good choice on the octy.

Cheers all,

Yea the best thing about the beemer was the sound of the straight six.
