What car you got buddy?
right now i don't have a car, i still don't have a license since i need to be 18 to have one, i'm close though, how about you?
Vroom
I drive a 2003 Skoda Fabia Mk1 1.9 tdi. I feel sorry that people in the states didnt get these.
They are highly reliable, solid cars that keep on going even if you dont service them regularly, although I would reccomend regular servicing to get more miles out of them. Mine has just passed 160K miles, however I have seen Fabia/Octavia taxis in Eastern Europe with 200K+.
Since they were purchased by Volkswagen, Skodas are just rebadged Golfs/Polos at half the prices of what delusional people try and sell VWs for.
I've never met anybody who has had a bad word to say against the Fabias. So the amount of Skoda hate is just down to people who have never driven one and are regurgitating the same jokes that were applied to Skodas back in the 70s/80s.
I would pick a Mk1 Fabia over anything of today without a doubt.

well, i currently drive a brilliance V5, it's a crossover, but i'm looking to upgrade soon, what about you?
Nice, i do actually see that new skodas are alot better, they are doing some great cars, i've seen the octavia alot (and the octavia VRS as well) they are cool cars, and skoda is a reliable car company as far as i know
I've 16 vehicles ?
Mazda 6 ftw
Bmw 320i stage 1
I have a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander GT, 1982 Ford Granada, 1978 Yamaha XS400, and a 1983 Yamaha Vision XZ550R
My first car was a little 2003 Skoda fabia.. I had the 1.2 htp though.. was a great little car, I've also had a 2006 skoda octavia vrs 2.0 tfsi.. that was great (until the timing chain tensioner went) would have another in a heartbeat though
I used to drive mk1 fabia too, but with the 1.4mpi. It was fun car. I wish though they've put the 1.8T into the VRS instead of 1.9tdi
Some fun i had with it:

There is no egg here hmmm
My friend has the 1.4 MPI, such a good looking engine and easy to maintain!
Id love a spare Fabia to have fun with, my current one wouldnt last long outside of normal driving considering its still got most of its factory parts lol

Thats devastating, Id love an Octavia as my next Skoda. The chain tensioner went in my van a couple years ago except I hated it and was glad it destroyed itself lmao

curious if anyone knows much about Volkswagen Passat TDI diesels?
American with a check engine light with a cpu warning of ad blue warning, I know when the cpu hits 0 the engine wont kick on. Code ran said its a bad def injector, so it needs replacement. I know vw has a recall for it but my vin doesnt fit in the recall, any ideas how much it might cost me to have the dealership replace? I take it in tomorrow but how much money do i need to line my pockets with first.
