In fact, I'm on my second one. Hmm, has a Skoda ever beaten an Audi and a BMW in a road test? I think not From CAR magazine.. "the Citroën sets new standards in cornering stability, grip and ride comfort. It had the German opposition floundering in its wake, especially at a price that undercuts the Audi by £1910 and the fully-loaded test BMW by £6763" From the same test.. "Good though it is, the doughty BMW is eclipsed by the Citroën for much the same reason as the Audi. Attitude. The 320i simply cannot match the Activa's composure and all - square stance, even when cornered gently, never mind hard. " and ...."Yet words are needed to emphasise the decisive margin of the Citroën Activa's grip and handling advantage. Steering is not super-sensitive so much as pin-sharp precise and unerringly accurate" oh, I forgot.. "Through our test corner (see pictures) the Xantia looked and felt dramatically more stable and secure than the Audi, which leaned, lurched, scrabbled and squealed - as a normal front-drive touring car does when pressed to its limit and beyond on compromised suspension. Travelling even faster, the Citroën whipped through the same bend with an even- kneeled fusslessness that was almost breathtaking" You drive a Skoda Silk, and you clearly have no idea about other cars or driving. That much has been obvious for a long while. BTW, my dad's had two Octavias. They were reliable, but so, so dull to drive. So dull in fact he's decided he needed livening up so he's bought himself a brand new AMG Merc Kompressor.. Mike P
