Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I have owned this car since 2012. Generally the car car is good. Had a serious engine failure at 45000 miles. Rebuilt the engine at my own expense as Skoda refused to admit it was a design fault. It has a few rattles the drive you insane because they are not accessible to silence. Goes through suspension springs like nothing I've owned before. Most of my negativity has been with Skoda service and customer relations. Garages breaking parts and expecting me to pay for and getting a towbar fitted and not bolting the bumper back on properly. Rust is an issue as well.
