Don't be coarse Dog. They are both excellent machines but the Skoda is more interesting, if only because the R4 was a successful me-too rip-off of the 2CV, designed some 10 or 15 years before it and in its early versions rather insultingly under-engined. The gearchange, which everyone praises including me, was a straight theft from the 2CV.
Anyone who thinks Estelles were unpleasant or boring to drive can't drive, or hasn't driven one in proper fettle (very few were after a year or so on the road because people didn't think the fine tuning mattered. It did).
