according to what i heard it was more head room, i'l defo get one they fancy saloon/hatchback (twin door) is a very clever idea

ahh, you havent actually TRIED on yet?

well it was good enough f'or me i'm 5 FT 7 but the mondeo is more expensive and I've been using Skoda since 2001 and want to stay with them

but you only sit in the front seat, i NEVER try a car on a forecourt from the drivers seat first, i always get in the back to try head and leg room, when i talk to other drivers i also try the passenger and back seats, i know the last Octavia was smaller than my Mk3 Mondeo

plus ill never need a cambelt....lol

comparing 2009/2010 cars (Mondeo/Superbs) diesels, same mileages, etc im seeing the Ford being cheaper than the Skoda, id never buy new again, someone else can have the depreciation costs

either the mondeo depreciates fast or the superb depreciates slowly

or maybe there are simply more ex-fleet Mondeos for sale than Superbs? (which seem to trade on the VAG connection when it suits to bump prices up)?

at auctions (we live near a BCA site) prices for one model drop when there are 20 identical cars going through

BTW united, why ARE you dumping a 4 year old 120K car and buying the same make again?...it only needs a clutch/flywheel

cause my council only allows Saloon PH'S and taxis on for 5 years and the London Taxis can be 10 years old its a pain in the backside but i want to sell it with tax and MOT left on it so trying to have a new car tested and on by mid January

and theres no "age exemption"? what did it cost you to buy (4 years ago?)
