We're contemplating splitting this forum out into four separate subforums for Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda to make it easier to have conversations on those cars.

Would that be beneficial or would you rather it was left as it is?

I dont think the forum sees enough traffic to warrant a split

Don't really see the point, they are all the same under the skin anyway. If I have a problem with the engine in my SEAT, someone with an Audi, VW or Skoda could easily have experienced the same thing and be able to offer a solution.
Plus, as has been said, low traffic anyway, you'd now have four subforums with even lower traffic.

Agree with the above
Again - I'm surrounded by Audis but if I see a question on a related, Seat bit I'll answer it. In a separate forum I wouldn't even see it.

Better together.

Hey!
What about Lamborghini,don't want them feeling left out now.

In all seriousness leave it as one, as others have said, same cars different trims.

Post it in the right place this time..

Similar to BMW forum and M Power. What about a general forum, then a split for S/RS etc..

Nah I don't see the point either, with so many shared components, posts are often relevant to all the brands.

Agree with keeping the same. Low traffic in a sub forum is a sure fire way to kill it off. There are plenty specialist forums dedicated to the marques out there and so it is quite nice to have a place to ask general stuff.
