Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Astonished how eager the engine was driving 350 miles home up the M6 from Manchester, 67bhp, VW stiffened the car by up to 40% when they bought skoda in 1992 and feels secure and solid for a little car. My car is an estate and feels like power steering but its not.
