In the United Kingdom, a fully loaded "skoda fabia" which I believe is just a rebadged subcompact "polo" hatch with an uprated 175 (vs 148) hp 1.5T 4 banger engine sells for up to 45k USD - mind you for something the size of a mini cooper
wow that's pricey
Golf.VW is going to the wall if it can't make petrol cars.
>>29040274it's a polo, not a golf, one size smaller, that's my point skoda fabia is 161 inches longgolf is 168-184 inches long (apparently a lot of variety I know they make 3 door vs 5 door models) but 184 is fully in compact car territorya toyota corolla sedan is 183 inches longthe hatchback variant is only 172 inches longso you are getting a sub-compact, smaller than a corolla for 45k and the engine is decent, but nothing that special, that said I think the 1.5 is their newest 4banger engine - only one that's aluminum block I think it was made for a new golf around 2015 whereas the 2.0 is from the 90s. they did sell a VW up, not sure if its sold anymore, that was even smaller, at 140 inches long
>>29040279Up is smaller than a Mini BMW. Price a Golf and tell me the Skoda price again.Then get back to me in 25 years when you can have one.
>>29040289I am simply mentioning the Up as an example that something even smaller than a fabia/polo exists or used to be sold, in Europecars in europe are undeniably more expensive than cars of the same size/class sold in the us
When it comes to the interiors nobody will be blander than VW. I'd go with a Fabia before I go with a shitty ass Golf if I can get the 1.9tdi on the skoda. Reliability will be the same. Design wise Skoda is 15 years behind which in 2020+6 is a good thing.Then again if I could I'd go with a petrol na engine mini
>>29040387VW interiors were genuinely nice in the late 90s early 2000s
>>29040387>1.9tdi on the skodagood luck lol
