Still surprising after all these years that some people are still prejudised about certain cars and certain badges. cratch:

I'd buy any brand but worry about not being able to sell it because of the predudice -so would'nt buy it in the first plac :S.

Totally agree about prejudices and preconceptions etc, and so does that other stereotypical guy from Glasgow .... :whistle:

I'll freely admit I'm prejudiced in my car/van thinking. It's not my fault, but I haven't worked out who to blame yet! I reckon it's down to watching too much black and white television as a child! Anyway, I needed a van, so used the following highly prejudiced selection criteria & process:
1. Wanted a nice shiny new one unny:
2. Wanted to be able to sell it when the time comes :thumbsup:
3. Emissions/fuel not too bad (Yes, I do remember what this thread was originally about!)
4. Smallish van but not silly-smallish (once had a Bedford Rascal - anyone else remember pogo sticks?)
5. VW? tooooo expensive (motorhome territory - house would have to go!)
6. Ford? Too expensive for something that looks like a B&Q kitchen unit.
7. Renault? Idiotic "least-interested salesman in the world" at local dealership. Walked out!
8. Peugeot? Must have been the brother of the Renault guy! Couldn't find a van to show me, so suggested Citroen!
9. Citroen? Wow, 3 front seats! A good price & switched on salesman! I think I only bought it because I was so shocked to find anyone interested in selling a van! :lol:

I have historically been known to make scathing remarks about Citroen, based purely on prejudice. So now, let's see how it goes. I've read all about the faulty fuel injector bolts, axle whine and other problems, but Citroen now has a chance to make me a van fan, and "yes" I actually really like driving it too! :woop:

Skoda Octavia Hatchback Greenline 1.6td £0
Skoda Octavia Estate Greenline 1.6td £20
Whats the difference?

Physics. Easte heavier so the engine has to work harder to move the same distance.
My 7 seater just adds enough weight to take the CO2 up a notch.

I was told by Citroen that the omission of alloys on e-hdi was to lower emissions tax.

The hatchback weighs 1805kg and the estate weighs 1842kg.
Can 37kg make that much difference?
Pity it doesn't work the same with Berlingo M/S and van, as the van weighs 114kg less and is charged £80 more in RFL.
