Fully agree with the original post. Driving the Scoob every day I think it was easy to get blase about its performance and handling. Now I'm in a diesel runaround everyday, the Scoob is more of a blast to drive at the weekends: always a little shock the first time I put my foot down or go round a corner...
...equally I have to remember to ease off when I get back into the Skoda again: its not quite as hot round the corners!
