Diesel or petrol Skoda?
Still quick they are. Maybe it was tuned as well? Regards EDIT:- The diesels are pretty quick and the petrols pack around 200BHP and on a par with a T5 Last edited by volvorocks; Mar 2nd, 2013 at 01:22. |

I've had the same problem too, where I raced against a VW Passat 2.0 tdi 177 bhp, 62 plate, and it kicked my A*SE! Not a great feeling when you see your car struggling to keep up

i have to admit it was 62 plate VRS but still (few years ago i had seat ibiza 130 bhp 1.9 tdi tuned to 180 break so i know that those engines pack a punch). My D5 lacked torque so hopefully after remap it should be better. Correct me if i am wrong but with remap in automatic they do change settings in gearbox asweel? in my case that is the biggest let down gear changes takes ages.

I left a Maserati Gran Turismo standing - with my 145 hp!
Know how? He was parked up! Christ, I really think some egos are too big to fit in a Volvo...

Lets leave Christ away from this post. when you buying a sports model of a car you expect from it to be sporty. And if you not interested in topic why bother to post anything

R Design is just a design...one crucial word you mentioned is it being "sporty" - sporty does no way equate to being a "sports model" in addition in no way does a D5 SE Lux in regards to power have anything less than the R Design one... |
