Too many modern cars feel sterile. Competent, but they don't induce any real emotion . If you expect emotion to come from outside, maybe you're approaching life wrong - standing to one side, looking on, instead of getting involved, being fully absorbed by what you're doing. Not quite sure how you e...

Where you get the idea of tracksuit and trainers eludes me. It's just another case of you going from one extreme to another. There are many mainstream cars that look more interesting than a Skoda Octavia. Skoda and VW designers seem to have the most boring and Sombre ideas in the car industry. I do...

Yes I remember the green cross code. I was cycling in the 70s. And the 80s, 90s and beyond. There isn't a pecking order... that exists in your mind and the minds of other misguided motorists. Many of whom used to enjoy cycling when they were younger and probably moaned about the motorists displaying...

Silk, whilst I agree with you that some people shouldn't be on the roads, especially young children, it is not just motorists who should have the right to use the roads. Your arguments fall flat in several places. We have these modern roads only because the cars require them. Car drivers simply have...

If only Skodas were as exciting as that! ;) I've had three Skodas, so what does that say about me? By exciting, I meant visually, aesthetically, internally and externally... That seems to say that you spend far too much time looking around the car interior rather than looking out of the windscreen ...

By exciting, I meant visually, aesthetically, internally and externally... I think this is actually the strong part of a current skoda - I really like the look of them, proportions and styling is very good, inside and out - very little to complain about... however I think that they are boring if yo...

For what it's worth, I think the new Octavia is one of the best looking mainstream cars on the road at the moment, inside and out. I'd say it's more sharp suit than tracksuit and trainers - but that probably says more about you than the car. Firstly, my original description was "dull", wh...

If only Skodas were as exciting as that! ;) By exciting you undoubtedly mean barely quicker than a mobility scooter and a joke on the part of our Indian counterparts. Still, at least it wasn't a French quadricycle which is an abomination unless fitted with a diesel engine, covered liberally with Te...

Jont, IIRC, technically it's classed as a quadricycle, not a car. Don't call it a "quad bike" because it doesn't have 8 wheels

I can only assume the designer was drunk when he came up with that.

If only Skodas were as exciting as that!
