Goodbye Subaru, hello VW

[t25turbo]

I am also a "VW - Subaru - to return to VW soon" sufferer.

It will be good to come home and then hopefully my longings for a quality vehicle, with power and prestige and practicality will cease.

Good luck Damo, The R36 is looking very good, but I 3.2 would be just as great I reckon.

I looked at the Skoda range and TBH I thought that while the price was competative and they have most, if not all the mod cons...

There are 4 things that put me off...

In order..

1. Butt ugly front (side and rear look OK BTW)
2. Interior just seemed "cheap" compared to the Passat.. Kinda like a Korean car Vs a Mazda...

3. resale... The new Skoda range is IMO a risky option. Perhaps in a couple years with a facelift and some runs on the board it may be a different story.
4. Servicing... only 2 dealers - none near home, and while I was told that my Local VW dealer could service it, they didn't know anything about it !!

Just my 2.2 cents worth (Inc GST)

Fair enough

Odd that they don't know how to service a Skoda considering its a VW

Not saying the dont know HOW to service, only that they knew nothing about any arrangement to do so for Skoda....

Going by some of the posts on here about VW dealer servicing I'm not surprised to hear that.
