Well I'm very pleased to say that I made the right choice when I decided to buy a Fabia vRS rather than the Ferrari Enzo I was thinking of having. On the Skoda site you can compare your car with any other car, and the Fabia vRS came out like this -

:rofl:

I would of thought, 3 extra seats and proper boot would of been mentioned above

A useful comparison. But how does it stack up against the Veyron? :P

Is there anyone out there that knows of a better car than a Fabia vRS?

Your Skoda Fabia vRS 1.9 TDI PD 130bhp 5dr hatchback '05 has the following advantages over the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 5.4 2dr coupe '04:

Pricing

Bodywork

0.04cd lower coefficient of drag

Well I never, the Fabia creates less drag than an SLR :eek:

The Benz boffins should head over to see the Czechs about how to build a car properly!

I'm not familiar with that one. Is a Veyron a Vauxhall (like Viva, Ventura, Victor, Vectra)?

I guess they may have done that already, after reading the Top Gear survey results where I believe Mercedes came in just below Trabant :eek:

As the Skoda site does not list this vehicle for comparison, I will assume that they accept it may indeed be near enough equal, or even very slightly superior, to a Fabia. :(

I concur!

I concur!

Congratulations on your now proven excellent choice of vehicle (and colour).

4 cylinder engine

Not quite sure how this represents an advantage over the SLR

Less to go wrong!

Steve

I'm shocked about the drag value of the Merc tho, the Fabia doesn't exactly have a good shape to cut through the air (esp 3 digits+ it really, really slows it down).

You tried comparing against an Octavia as well, dunno if it lets you, but if not, compare that against the same Merc, see how that fares

The best drag quote from the past is that the old Austin A40 (yes I am that old!) had a lower drag co-eff than the Jag E-Type!!!

I'd love the Veyron to cost about 14k GBP - somehow I doubt that will happen though

please stop it I cant' stop laughing.

that is soo funny.

how funny is the skoda comparison page. im sat at work and just laughing to myself and no-one else knows why.

how about taking the fabia vrs on against the Octavia VRS which would win? can you do it.

Skoda have a good point though. the skod's are far superior to the Veyron!

......please stop it I cant' stop laughing.....

You just wait until you take delivery in March, then you'll be laughing all of the time

Remote releasing petrol cover flap

Good point!

- To make it fair, I'd also do one the 'other way around'. Advantages I'm expecting are more room for passengers, as well as boot space

Is this the new Fabia?!

nope thats the new "rover veyron" i think its taking over from the old SD1's
