treecreeper 1,136 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Old passat is the same as old audi a6 or the allroad. newer ones are smaller. Octavia is a4 size, not sure what new seat ones called but it's the same as old audi a4 with different lights. Superb is audi a6 size skoda. All depends on your budget but vw and audi better built than seat, but you pay for it. If I was buying new skoda all day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 25,147 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 ive been driving the ford focus estates tdci for the last 3 years great cars reliability wise cheap parts aswell compared to the peugoet hdi's i use to drive they were great cars when going well but i had no end of problems with electrics on them. on the plus side they had loads of boot space and great ground clearence. i thought the parts were expensive aswell. ive looked at the octavia estates they hold there money well so i couldnt really afford what i wanted. my mechanic told me to go for a ford estate or the skoda and always edged towards the skoda. so my betting is skoda would be the best way forward they are nice enough looking cars aswell. Funny how folk see things difrent,,,I always thought stuff was cheap on ours,,,mind I always got everything from the breakers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
