Umm...I don't don't know, it doesn't look safe to me. You better let me test drive it a couple months to make sure everything works right. It's only because I care

Thanks to all Americans who are buying or have bought economical Asian/ European cars. Please think about polar bears. Their ground is breaking... However, ground is breaking not only for them...

Hey Czechs...Stop driving those poor quality Skoda`s...

By the time an American car gets crushed..a Skoda has been recycled 3 times..

I`ve never seen a Skoda older than 10 years, and thank God for that.

I have owned AMC's, Ford's, Chevy's, Pontiac's, Dodge's, Plymouth's, Jeep's, Chrysler's, Oldsmobile's, Toyota's and Mazda's. The most trouble free have been the Dodge's, Jeep's and Chrysler's. The worst have been the Pontiac's and the most disappointing has been the Mazda because things like rust after just 5 years, headliner falling after 6 years and rubber window trim cracking and chipping after 6 years. The one Toyota that I have owned had a terrible climate control system, tin can doors and no way to adjust the outside mirrors from inside the car. For my money American cars offer the most bang for the buck and while the Asian cars may be better for the first 5-7 years (so called experts opinions, not mine) once you get to the 7-10 year marks the edge goes to the American cars. Keep in mind these are nothing more than my opinions after 40 years of personal experience. Just recently I purchased a Chrysler Crossfire convertible which is pretty much a first gen Mercedes Benz SLK under the skin. This is my first European sourced vehicle so the journey continues.

I believe modern Škodas are quite good. They are certainly no worse than European Fords.

It really depends what generations of vehicles you are referring to. Japanese vehicles where far superior in quality through most of th 90s and early 2000s and the statistics back that. American car companies have significantly closed the gap since then though.

Hold on I agree but think to be safe that it should be done at a track say the NHRA Friday night street Legals and test and tune with some Race Gas
