Thinking of buying a petrol Skoda...
Hello.im thinking of getting a 2011 Skoda activa 1.2 petrol.im wondering if it's better then the old 1.4 model.
Our answer:
Hi Stephen,
It is - much better. Smoother and much more powerful at low rpm (thanks to the turbo), but with terrific economy. A better choice than the default 1.6 diesel.
