    Clio looks with Skoda reliability would be nice :) Every forum has members who can't see past their own car brand/ model - well until they change cars that is :)

    Yeah - that's the engine problem i know about which is why i wanted a skoda warranty - they replace the engines now if you keep complaining about oil consumption as they revised the bottom ends Don't do many miles (80 a week) so i guess if it uses a litre every 2-3k then i needen't worry

    Had a 2004 VRS a few years ago - got it remapped at Jabbasport and it was running around 165bhp and 330lb/ft - still gave 50mpg :proud: Like the Clio as it's a smart looking car, guess if it had another years warranty left then i'd keep it longer

    Thanks guys Looking at the Briskoda forum there are a few that have done santa pod in sub 6 secs so not too bad :) Eibach springs give them a better stance and are Skoda approved so no warranty problems so they'll be fitted The TSi Vags are a bit weird regarding power - 1.2tsi are supposed to...

    P/X values

    Well i've been looking at other cars again as i'm getting bored with the car after 3 months which always happens. Had friday off work so just spent 2 days detailing it so it's spot on but i guess due to lack of accessories for the Clio there's nothing really left to do (don't want to start...
