    If a garage puts a pile of scrap like that out on the road for customers to drive, I'd be very concerned about the quality of workmanship on any car that was in there for repair tbh...

    its a courtesy car,given out of courtesy. not an essential car.garages are not obliged to offer a courtesy car.
    take it back to the garage and im sure they will tell you there are no others available to give to you and will point you in the direction of the nearest bus stop.

    I believe Skoda normally tops VW and Seat in reliability ratings :D :beer:

    Probably, but they're all in the same family anyway so always good models :cool:

    I'm at 165,000 and going strong.

    I had a nissan primera petrol with 210k when I got rid, and it still pulled like a train. I'd love another one :(
