Skoda vRS 2000 Concept

If only.....

If only VAG (and others) had the guts to get this kind of thing to mass-market. I think the design is poor, but at least it's bold.

VAG (volkswagen, audi group) & TESCO TAKING OVER WORLD ! CAN'T BE A GOOD THING !

VAG (volkswagen, audi group) own SEAT, SKODA, VW, AUDI, PORSCHE, BENTLEY, LAMBORGHINI & BUGATTI & POSSIBLY MORE they want to be the biggest car maker in the world they want the global market for themselves MONEY IS POWER & THESE PEOPLE CERTAINLY HAVE LOTS OF MONEY & THEREFORE POWER ! they have a lot of european countrys poloticians in there back pockets & therefore can influance laws to be applied to drivers of european countrys to benefit there money making desires LIKE THE RECENT M.O.T OVER HALL TO HELP THE CAR MAKERS MAKE EVEN MORE MONEY BECAUSE OF ALL THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES FAULTS eg, ESP FAULTS COMMON ON THE MAJORITY OF VAG BADGED CARS & AIRBAGS, GEARBOXES, SEATBELT PRETESIONERS, ECU FAULTS, ETC, ETC, I WOULD'NT BE SUPPRISED IF THE VAG (volkswagen & audi group) own'd VOSA THE M.O.T REGULATORS & AUTOEXPRESS, AUTOEXPRESS SEEM TO REALLY HIGHLY RATE ALL THE VAG MOTORS COMPARED TO OTHER MAKES, I WONDER WHY ? THEY CAN'T ALL BE THAT GOOD !

You're right and wrong BeReal

First, I agree! tesco are trying to take over the world, they are slowly killing the urban high st with their Tesco Express shops.

Now, on to VAG and your gripes. I own a VAG Scirocco and let me tell you, I don't particularly care that the parts are shared across the VAG range - they work without breaking down.

All the perceived faults that you llist - airbags, filters, ECU faults, yadda, yadda, break down with the same regularity in other makes of cars. Don't even get me started about particulate filters on Peugeots/Citroens!

While agreeing in part that VAG seem to be building a monopoly in controlling nearly a dozen brands, they are just the right side of brand individual - Seats have the wonderful TSi engine shared with Golf/Scirocco but are aimed at a different market with different styling. I haven't seen too many parts on my Scirocco from a Porshe or Bentley or a Lambourghini!!!

Your argument about VOSA has frankly left me baffled, as has your gripe against Auto Express. Yes, most cars nowadays are that good! Try and list ten truly horrid new cars from mainstream manufacturers...

eh?

Bid odd I thought, a comparative road test of Skoda v RS2000. Must be showing my age, not a Ford to be seen anywhere.

Bad Hair Day

Are AE really so much in the pocket of Skoda that they even feel obliged to praise this calamity? It looks like a 1970s Dutton kit-car.

Be Real

Believe it or not but cars have improved a lot over the last 20yrs ,how many cars you see at roadside over heated or broken down most cars you see on hard shoulder have a flat tyre and awaiting break down services.
I have owned a polo , 2 seats both realiable and I have just got rid of my Skoda Octavia estate after 270,000 miles and now drive a Mondeo Estate .I be honest I still prefer my Skodia and if I had the money would buy the Skoda Superb Estate ( see all the write ups all positive from various motor magazines).
Yes VAG cars are realiable but BEREAL if you want an un-realiable car I am sure there still a few out ther ..........

i like skoda's I would have one over a Seat or VW branded car,all VAG cars are more reliable than anything from France or Italy.
So that's why i buy Japanese still maybe a i will try a skoda estate for my next car,after all Taxi drivers know reliable cars.

old Adolf wold be so proud.....of his VW
