Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Just about every bit has been stolen from the VW/Audi parts bin, for a whole lot less money.
Costs
4 wheel drive system can be expensive, but still cheap by any standard.

On the road
Driving
Driving position could be a little better and steering could be a lot better, but then it is a standard family hatchback.
Performance
150Bhp matched to 4 wheel drive means good power and a massive amount of grip. Wolf in sheep's clothing.
-
Living with it
Reliability
VW running gear matched with the Audi engine, solid.
Image
It doesn't have one, but if performance and cost are more important than image, they don't come much better.
Comfort
Elegance, so all the trimmings, switch to turn off the passenger airbag is an option though, which means baby is in the back.

Security and Service
Security
Good alarm, and who wants a Skoda anyway, badge is the biggest security feature. Full closure only works with key though.
