Here is the Petrol Manual version. (Not the GTD based one biggrin)





Haven't got my hands on it much (Mrs S's car) but with the little exposure I have had to it I'm impressed. It certainly goes well and has a very comfortable driving position, better than my Merc. As mentioned in the PH road test, the lane assist also gets on my nerves and I'm not sure about the synthesised engine note when in Sport Mode, but these are small gripes, for the price the size and performance is perfect for our family run around.

Very nice. I wouldn't say no to one of these.

Looks great. Been looking at the estate version myself same colour but would probably go for DSG.

Did you get a decent deal?

This is great, nice all round practical car.

What sort of finance packages are Skoda offering on these?

I haven't been warming to the Mk 3 Octavia so far (preferring the styling etc of the Mk 2)

But im liking that one - the interior looks nice, the colour is great and suits the styling very well.

And its a petrol - top work biggrin

Looks like a nice car in all honesty

Thanks for the comments. They were offering 3 years interest free credit with 3 years free servicing which works great with Mrs S car allowance. I did get a bit of a deal but they're not exactly giving them away (with lead times now at 16 weeks it doesn't look like they need to yet)

I am glad we went for the petrol, it will work out a bit more expensive to run but it is a superb engine and suits the car really well. It does seem to be all the car you really need.
