Thinking of upgrading from the corsa to one of the above - V5 is leading due to 2.3l grunt, Octavia is cheap and Rv4 is quick and probably more durable.. . what do you reckon ?

Maybe you should be a Triumph Dolomite Toledo, you can get them in a nice brown colour you know, don't think you can with Seat...

Don't think so Sam - if I'm gonna go classic, it would have to be an Austin Allegro on 13" 3 spokes :-)

Skoda would be a good bet - still haven't shaken the badge prejudice over here so they are well cheap - 2000 1.8 Turbo going for €10500 at the mo ( 'bout 7grand sterling ). Toledo is a 99 2.3 on 17's - 50k miles, fsh and rare - going for €11500 (7.5k sterling ?).
Ned to make a few more payments on the corsa first - goddam finance ! :-)

That reminds me of this tune I downloaded off the net once, it's by Adam Sandler and it's called Piece Of Shit Car

WTF is wrong with Si ? Plan to buy second hand - bought the corsa new and it's lost a fortune on depreciation - never again !!
Larger engined cars depreciate v.quickly over here due to the high insurance & road tax premiums - makes them a good buy after a couple of years though.

Calling someone a to55er every time he posts until he grows up ?? - hardly the actions of an adult, Si ?

I thought the Toledo V5 was a 2.3 170bhp - didn't know there was a 150bhp version - a lot of the driving do is stop start city running - not usually the best conditions for turbo's I'm told...
