Don`t see a problem with the badge, at least they have a first-class reputation for reliability, which is more than can be said for the Renault.

If you`re waiting for the AA man badge snobbery doesn`t come into it.....

keep the skoda, its a VW golf or Audi A3 or even the seat Leon, in another body shell has a much bigger boot and could put any car to shame, and will still be running when the next generation of vehicles will be on the scrap heap.

The only thing letting it down is its not the diesel, apart from that enjoy it and have the last laugh on the badge snobs

Mine is coming up to 200K

have a look at mine in my pic profile

Swap the Renault for another Skoda but a diesel one, or both of them for a Skoda superb 130TDI

See whats advertised in the auto trader http://www.autotrader.co.uk/  then just phone about the one you fancy and see what deal can be done

Its good for another 400K miles

You can't see the badge when you are driving it.

lol - it's that great big shiny thing in the middle of the steering wheel

anyway - i'm a bit confused as to what the OP has got - i'm guessing a skoda 1.6 petrol, and he comparing it to a laguna that he used to own?
