Hi All,

Does anyone have an Octavia GreenLine II? There's a chance I could get one from work and I'm wondering how slow it will be compared to a 2.0 TDi 140?

I currently have a Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 and it has a decent turn of speed which I don't want to loose and the Octavia is around 200kg's lighter so I'm just wondering what it will be like on the road.

Thanks, Max

Hi mate (I bought some M5 trim from you a while back)

I'd love a Superb, but the Octy is sat at work after someone left on Friday. I guess ill just take it for a spin and go from there. Will check the spec sheet online later too - see what its got.

Cheers, Max

I'm not arsed about a rear wiper! My E39 doesn't have one and I only use the Mondeo one occasionally before setting off because its there,

Well I collected the car today, bye bye '57 98k Mondeo and hello '61 10k Octy!

I took it for a drive at lunch, seems a bit sluggish but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Hoping I don't miss the steering controls, climate and armrest too much!

I think that may ruin the point of the car, but it could do with it!

Just stumbled on my own thread two years later after looking for remap comments!

I still have the car and it will be replaced in Feb with another Octavia or Leon ST (need to decided, but probably the latter as it's more unique and..)

I'm tempted to buy the Greenline for the OH to replace her 170bhp 2001 A3 but she isn't keen!
