Just in case you are getting used to how well your Octavia 1.8T 4x4 or vRS with rechip/remap is peforming, here's a comparison with the just-out Audi TT V6 3.2 which costs

I'm sure the TT has the stronger triple-shaft Haldex, Rob.

I'm sure that you are right Mattijs.

The point I was raising was that you get Haldex 4x4 and the same performance as a car that costs 90% more in the UK. Just reminding people who may be getting used to the acceleration by now !

reckon my RS or des's or jons would eclipse those figs.. especially top end...

(The Skoda figures are from the Autocar roadtest which is 'known' to have been rechipped to 210/220+bhp, so is representative of a Jabba'd or similar conversion)

Really? How do we know? Did Skoda own up?

Yes. We don't - its a bit like the current Hutton enquiry. No

I think a bit of investigative journalism is needed here.

Quite right on the TT. Law of deminishing returns I guess.

But then. owning a Skoda skews your perspective on value for money.

Never has a more true word been written

I hope that VAG keep providing decent drives through the Skoda brand in future or I'll end up either keeping it for ten years or buying a Perodua Nippa. :(

Having now driven a V6 TT & a modified vRS -- I can honestly say that the TT feels slower - certainly slower than a 225 TT - although I havn't compared figures.The general concensus at work was that the V6 "Feels" slower - but even if it is -- the noise and the gearbox make it a worthwhile model,although it does not bode well for future modification.

we havent had a 3.2 in work yet. but from what i have read on the internet people seem to think it feels slower. but i think this is due to the fact that your not actually doing any thing. ie changing gear. and i think this makes the car seem slower than it is. just a trick of the mind
