Post by: Ess_Three on 02 March 2011, 12:54: Cracking cars...

I had a vRS SE in Race Blue for 3 years...never felt the need to lower it, play about or ruin it...just a PD160 inlet and a Tuning box.
175 BHP, 270 lb-ft of torque...and 45 MPG when driven with a heavy right foot.
Cracking little cars...
Even with the comedy ride height, Skoda got the damping right...you can get the back end moving on them far easier than on most VW understeer chariots.

Nice choice.

Keep your hands warm whilst pushing it.

However modern Skoda's are no longer a joke.

Quite...
A modified Mk6 GTI has landed me an appointment with the Procurator fiscal and a long period of enforced pedestrian status.
So that's it...I'm likely to be done with hot Hatches for the next few years.

I'm thinking either Skoda Yeti or VW Tiguan R...but time will tell.
both make total sense living where I do.
Even with winter wheels and tyres, the Mk6 was a nightmare due to low ground clearance this winter.

As Glen (ess-three) said they drive better @ standard height.
