A guy on briskoda has fleet of taxis, they have an Octavia VRS that has done 320,000 miles and is still on original engine, turbo & gearbox

He even admits that it gets a spanking every night when roads are quiet as well.

show me a vauxhall or ford that will do that

People still live in the stone age though. They do not understand modern engineering and think that 100k is high milage

mileage does matter

taxi's have an easy life when you think of it.. they are always running! after all its the stopping and starting and the cold starts and short journeys that wreck engines!
