Order of Status

[dannyboy2005]

Been wondering this for a while.

You get Audis, VW and Skoda

Top of the range - Audi
Middle Class - VW
Bottom - Skoda


Anyway, how dose this refer to Saxo's, Pugs and Renults?



Why we're on the subject. What is top of the range saxo and bottom of the range, what models etc in order.

Thanks!

[Bally]

im guessing the vts is the top model followed by the vtr, furio, and so on untill you get to the bog standard 1.0

[Stickyjam]

106 and saxo's are for chavs :P

[alex19]

Renault
Peugeot
Citreon

So your saying the old clio is better then the Saxo back in the days?


I ment like Deisre, First, X, XN etc etc for models.

[Jorge-]

Do they not do a top spec Saxo that wasnt quick? A flat arch?

Like the meridian on 306s, leathers, all electrics etc.

[Jorge-]

And you missed Seat out of your first list :)

Oh man.... Totally forgot about them, forgot they were frech too tbh.

[PSPDan]

I always thought Seat were Spanish lol... Shows how much I know.

[Prickle]

seat are spanish, just relised!

[PSPDan]

seat are spanish arnt they

Yeah they are :P

[Jorge-]

They are spanish, but owned under the same company as VW and Audi now, so the Leon is pretty much the same car as the Golf and A3, but less expensive.

Audi
VW
Seat
Skoda


Renault
Peugeot
Citreon

although if you are looking at the most recent of cars, I would have to say that without that new coupe coming out in 2010 citreon has wiped the floor with peugeot.

[Prickle]

Yeah they are :P

i know :oops:

Who said they were french :S

[Danr]

Aren't porsche owned by Vag as well?

[Jorge-]

VW, Lamborghini, Audi, Bently, Bugatti, Seat, Skoda and Rolls Royce I think.

[PSPDan]

I think for me it would difficult to choose between SEAT and VW.

Lookswise I'd say there's nothing in it as I love both of them lol.

[Danr]

VW is the more upmarket iirc. Pricing wise and i've heard build quality wise as well!

[Jorge-]

Yeah I think VW just sits below Audi TBH... Especially with their cars like the Phaeton.

[smiith]

Dont know how you can put Skoda at the bottom anymore, the new cars are insanely good.

but cit probably comes at the bottome, with renault 1st, and pug middle

Agreed they are top cars but as a status symbol alot of people would see them as shit. Especially older people who rememeber the days when they were terrible!

Citreons hands down for me.

[PSPDan]

I agree with the above. I mean I'm talking purely based on looks again, but it seems Peugeot are doing what Porsche and Aston Martin seem to do, which is come up with one good design, apply it to all their cars and then never change it. To me a brand new Peugeot looks way too similar to a ten year old equivalent.

a car looking goed, doesnt make it a good car ;)

TVR's look good, they dont get far do they :P before they stop working.

I personally can't stand TVR's lol... Each to their own I guess.

And to me SEAT Ibiza's just look like VW Polo's in disguise.

If you were in the pub though and everyone was showing off about what cars they had.

An audi will always sound more posh than a skoda?

No ones doubting them as good cars but status wise the skoda is going to be bottom for quite a while?

I agree. But I'd rather drive a car that I liked than one I was driving purely for the "status" I mean I drive a 1.1 Saxo ffs :P

Is this some kind of sick joke?

[Danr]

Depends what the price difference is. I'd rather drive say... a £7k 323 beemer than a megane sport.

[Prickle]

what makes you think that man!

[Jorge-]

Actually, now i think more, Citreon have always had the upper hand on Peugeot when it comes to larger cars. Its just the 106 / Saxo and 306 / Xsara where Peugeot were in the lead.

Look at the big old cars, the Xantia, and the C6 is a beast of a car.

[PSPDan]

Yeah fair point. I don't drive a 1.1 Saxo cus it was the only car in the world I wanted, I drive it cus it was cheap and I like it. If I had £10k to blow on a first car it's safe to say it wouldn't be a saxo.

Exactly, tbh the 1.1 saxo, for the price isn't something to be laughed about for a first car. Decent motor imo.

Well for the amount of stick it gets it's been very reliable, and when I bought it I got a load of shit of my mate who has a W reg Polo. But since he's had it he's spent at least £1200 on repairs whereas I've spent around £200... And his car was £2500 and I only paid £1200 for mine... I guess he fails :P

[Curran]

renault, peugeot and citroen are NOT the same as audi, VW, SEAT and skoda.

the idea with the audis and vw's etc is they use the same chassis' and they get passed down the line starting with audi then vw then SEAT. i'm not sure where skoda fit in.

the clio isnt the same chassis as the 106 and saxo.

It's better ;)
