It all depends on what you require, old or new
http://briskoda.net/forums/
You will find the superb section for old and new.
The best old one was the 130tdi the di was in red the 105 or 115 only the I was red
We had the 130 tdi for 8 years and it covered nearly 400,000 miles without any problems
The mark 2 comes with a hatch or estate, the early ones where 1.9 or 2ltr PD units the later ones now come with CR units, nice and quiet

There is one owner on here with a whine, but we are getting more convinced its the owner not the car :lol:
