They're still shit, though.

The whole warranty thing is just a marketing ploy to get people to buy
them..... the only people who'll keep a Kia for 7 years are old giffers
who drive about 2 miles a week, so they're highly unlikely to have to
pay out under warranty.

The whole Skoda vs VAG pricing is a myth, too.

An Octavia has a few extra toys compared with the Passat, but has
cheaper trim and isn't *that* much cheaper - however, the depreciation
on the Skoda is significantly worse.

If you compare the Octavia with a Jetta, which is about the same size,
then there's nothing to pick between them.

Besides, Skodas are for pikeys who can't afford the VW equivalent.
Everyone knows that :-P
