I'm looking Skoda's Fabia vRS pick one up for 12k  :wink:

Think you have to have taken your brave pills for these given the engine issues associated with these

Can you say what the issues are ? Cheers steve, The Tig Jimble needs 4k worth of work, the insurance company refuse to pay out
saying that the car was not broken into also I had both keys no windows broken. Stay away from Privaledge nightmare to deal with I havent decided what i'm going to do with it just yet?? :wink:

Picked this A1 up 2 weeks ago.
I know its not to everyone's taste but I just fancied a change.
Still miss the Golf. It seemed more solid and better all round although I'm sure I thought that about my previous car when I first got the Golf  :smiley:

Its meant to be metallic white but that's it dirty again after being washed 2 days ago!!
Filled it full of extras DAB, Xenons, LED rears, Technology pack, Comfort Pack, Phone Prep High, Privacy Glass, Audi Parking Plus, Heated Seats, Folding Mirrors, TPI, Audi Sound System
Love the way it accesses the net for Google earth / street view for the Nav, local stuff, weather & news.
Also nice touch when the petrol light comes on, it asks if you want to navigate to the local petrol station.

Its got its winter alloys on!!

Its a 2.0L lump the same as the Golf and on paper meant to be faster but The Doc got his hands on the Golf so he may just have to help me out again!!   :smiley:



Very nice I like it looks the busness Passa. :wink:

Better you than me. Engine and gearbox issues. I don't like the emergency services or been stuck at the side of the road myself or wasting day after day having to go back and forwards to dealership workshops but if you have nothing better to do I guess it fills time in LOL.
It's a shame really as the previous fabia vRS was a car a really liked and has a good reputation too.
It's also said within the group that skoda still make the best assembled cars in the group.

Nice sportback we are still thinking about one, just not quite In the price range of yours. :wink: probably a.1.6 sport sportback in blue with a couple options of parking plus, tpi and climate.

really like those A1 S-line 2.0tdi Sportbacks, looked at one but was getting to be an expensive daily for me which was a shame, really quality feel about them and driving position feels more coupe like

The 123d has just gone but will be very much missed, looking at either a Merc E350 CDI coupe or a Q5 3.0 TDI Quattro at the mo.

Not an Audi fan as everyone knows but I'll get it if it's cheap  :wink:
