Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Scott - 03-04-2012
Tomorrow the Skoda Labia is being picked up from by the recovery company, and they've managed to sort their act out enough to give me what I believe will be a proper car. I'm told it'll be something similar to the coupe, so hopefully something a bit bigger and more comfortable, and not a phase 2 (aka falling apart) fabia.
I'm told it'll be a 2l or above, but they haven't specified on petrol or diesel, 3 or 5 door, auto or manual. My bets would be either an Isignia or maybe an A4.

Its a hire car so it will be epically boring and shit as thats pretty standard is it not?
Insignia is probably a likely option TBH.

Don't think it'l be that somehow... :think:
My guess is a modeo of some sort, possibly a 2.0 TDCi ECOnetic.
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Niall - 04-04-2012
3 series diesel
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - THE_Liam - 04-04-2012
I'm guessing 2.0 diesel Insignia, everyone seems to get them as courtesy cars these days

This is exactly why I decided on the insignia

Base price of them is 9 times out of 10 too high for hire companies to bother with them. That combined with the fact that they're shit....

Bosched Phase 1 twisted up to the max with a straight through exhaust and underlighting
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - bigcheez2k3 - 04-04-2012
Darren's Derv Bus, he's had to hire it out to pay for all the epic turbos and insurance
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - devils_fuel - 04-04-2012
they could be digging around and found the last Vectra diesel built pmsl
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Kimmie - 04-04-2012
Anything is better than that Skoda! I used to like them, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to give the 6 a run for it's money noise-wise, adn I don't think I should feel the engine vibrations from the passenger seat :/ It was however hilarious when Scott tried to adjust the wingmirrors, and the plastic AROUND the control fell off in his hand....
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - samass - 04-04-2012
ahhhh good ol german build quality there!!
Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - THE_Liam - 04-04-2012
Looks like they've gone downhill since mine was made, but then again it is riddled with electrical faults...
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Scott - 04-04-2012
Okay so I know what it is, its German...
I'll explain the further fail when I get home and i'm not on my phone.
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - WiNgNuTz - 04-04-2012

Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Niall - 04-04-2012

Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - ginge191 - 04-04-2012

Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - THE_Liam - 04-04-2012
I reckon it's a 1-Series, otherwise known as the ugliest car on earth
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Scott - 04-04-2012
Correctamundo. White 118d m-sport. Not driven it yet but it doesn't look too bad IMO and the interior is alright. Not driven it yet as they dropped it at my house. Will be having a proper drive of it tomorrow. At least it's new (just over 1k mileage) and not a 'phase 2' skoda (aka bits falling off)
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Connor - 04-04-2012
What part of that car is 2ltr?

Yay! What do I win?
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Scott - 04-04-2012
It's actually a 1995cc engine
Not sure why they're badged up as the 118d instead of a 120d to be honest, but yeah. Pretty comfy to drive. Got a fairly long drive tomorrow after work so I'll post up a better review kinda thing then. May also drive it to camping this weekend to save money on fuel, will see whether Kim is desperate to show off her 6 
Re: Guess the Hire Car - Round 2 - Connor - 04-04-2012
The 6 is coming...
