Its worth looking up rusty dusters forum on the net. If only for the excellent advice on how to reject a car after purchase
There’s a forum?

PCP is what we are looking at, and it's £200 a month less than the Xtrail. The safety aspect is a bit off putting thoughIt's a shame that Fiat didn't carry on with their panda 4x4. Steyr Puch are no longer in business which is a shame so this isn't possible now.
I'd look at PCP on a Duster & if you like it after 3 years what's to stop you buying one then? Three years goes very quickly you know.

Like the Ford Mustang you mean?If you want a safety assurance check if a car is available for sale in both EU and North American markets. If its not, be very wary.
Big +1 . There was one of the original Panda Steyr Puch 4x4 versions outside the Indian last night in BuryIt's a shame that Fiat didn't carry on with their panda 4x4. Steyr Puch are no longer in business which is a shame so this isn't possible now.

It's a Steyr-Puch Haflinger. Named after the mountain horse, I presume.What is it?

When I was small I had a Steyr-Puch chopper bike. My brother had a rather 'cooler' Raleigh Chopper with the proper gear lever.
As fellow Skoda drivers, we were thinking we'd probably end up with a Yeti in a few years when the farm is cashed in, but we still feel like helping out at the local show and looking over fences while taking the dogs for a walk. They have that sort of feel to them.Spent ten minutes looking on t'internet. Renault & Nissan parts. 4 out of 5 star rating. Sounds like most other motors. All have their faults as have been written about many times on this forum. Sounds like the purrrrfect motor to have on a PCP. Cheap as chips, no frills, drive it like you stole it. What's to not like! Go for it
I don't give a sh1t if i'm in my Skoda, It gets me to where I need to be in a very average way. I'd probably feel the same in a Duster. & with the 4x4 option I could cross a field or three.

I have no problems driving our Skodas, they are excellent. When I was looking for my estate, I saw an Octavia being serviced in the local garage and it was a taxi from Bournemouth. I believe it had done 450,000 miles in 6 years or so and they said it was not unusual to have those sort of miles.
As for the Duster, I don't know how it compares to the Yeti, but I'm guessing Skodas are no longer in the Sk100 bargain bucket category of the 1970s.
I had a mate at school who started driving and bought a string of hotted up Minis that he wrecked in quick succession, until finally he borrowed his mum's new Citroen -which met a nasty end up the front of one of our tractors on the main road, funnily enough.Skodas are perfectly good vehicles now and are largely from the VAG parts bin. Seat are the same. Why you would pay more for a VW Ihave no idea

His parents had had enough so they told him they would pay for a nice modern car for him but they would choose it, and of course when it arrived it was a calf-scour coloured Skoda 100. He never lived it down, but it didn't help his driving as he ended up rolling it down a hill in the middle of Dorset. He went on to have a long and safe career as an HGV driver...
