i never really meant to compare them, i just said its overestimated cos all around these forums i read like glorifying speeches about the skoda octavia/fabia cos its sooooo fast and beats the **** out of every other car.
what i learned (in real life) about that/those cars is that usually some chavs ride them thinking they cud beat everyone in like traffic light races or on the autobahn puttin other drivers into danger.
just recently e.g. one of them idiots pulled left side on the autobahn thinking he'd accellerate fast enuff to pull away in frnt of me, tho he didnt even realise i was going 250km/h straight up to him.
this is just my opinion and this is not meant to be insulting, guess its just cos of some german idiots. counts for other cars as well (e.g. golf gti, golf III, opel/vauxhall vectra/astra AND especially old bmw 3series)
