 giandndougl's recommendation | |
Low Insurance group 9.
Road tax £115 per year.
Fuel 45mpg average.
Rear Tyres original at 36,000 miles.
No visible oil leaks at 36,000miles.
Poor handling on corners.
Brake Discs Front / Back replaced after 2 years.
Pulls slightly left, normal driving (Skoda reports known fault).
Front Tyres replaced every 15,000miles.
Car is quick on acceleration. 4 doors are a plus if comparing to another hot-hatch where 2 doors can be a pain. Car can be chipped to improve acceleration but not top speed (told by chip people). General servicing can be DIY, apart from tuning and resetting service light. Engine oil type is critical, if not sure ask Skoda or top respected garage.
