I looked at them as they look a budget golf, they are!
Some how the Golf "just felt right" the minute I sat in it the Skoda and Seat both felt a bit disappointing, I can't explain it just personal feeling the Mrs had just the same reaction.

My first VW Golf and it's brilliant!

As someone that owned a Yugo and also had a FSO as a loan car badges don't worry me, just how practical / nippy they are.

Not personally, but with a Dealership nearby, a lot of people have them. Their engines are made by VW which has (had?) a good reputation.

A friend in another part of the country had owned one for a number of years. She's never moaned about mechanical faults or rust caused be sea air. Their other car's an MX5!

Driving/owning a Skoda Fabia? Our golf needs replacing soon (My car). My OH insists that Skodas are not to be laughed at any more. We hired one in Lanzarote but I still keep hearing the old jokes (so no need to repeat them). I can't persuade myself that that is the way to go.

The golf has a reasonable boot but also the back seats go down almost flat, making it a good work horse. (this is an old 2002 Golf). And good for golf clubs/trolley. It has also been reliable until now, but We don't want a newer golf as they are quite expensive compared to other cars the age we would be looking at.

Any ideas??
