Skoda were taken over by VW some time back and their new cars seem pretty good; not that I've driven one, but I've heard good comments about them from people who have.

[QUOTE=pinkmcfarquhar;7270633]Over here we plumped for Toyota FJ Cruiser - may look like a lego brick, but I love it!

I have a fj cruiser too- same colour- wouldn,t have been seen dead in a SUV back in the UK- we had a VW Golf and Mercedes C class. Hubby bought a Volvo V70 brand new here in the summer- long story but now that is our summer drving only car- as if we can afford to do that! The Crusier is great, we plan to go geo cashing in the summer with it- it had high dif and low dif gears- get out of anywhere- and up everywhere. Oh and during the week I drive a big yellow school bus!
