Jennifer,
I just thought I'd let you know that Skoda is the Czech company that VW
bought out and SEAT is the spanish company that VW bought out.
Incidently ,just 2 months ago, I rented a car at Gatwick airport which was a
Skoda Fabia turbo diesel.
I was skeptical knowing what junk Skodas used to be but this car was great!
Smooth, quiet, quick, comfortable and the on-board computer said 52 mpg
(imperial)average after driving to Scotland and back at speeds of 85 mph plus
most of the time.
Amazing!     I wish they were for sale here.     I think they were voted
small car of the year in UK.
