Thinking of buying the T5 version of this for my wife’s daily (how middle class).

We would be buying new.

I don’t see many on the roads, does anyone here have any experience of them?

It won’t be doing much off road work. She currently has an Octavia Scout but those are diesel only and she wants petrol.

I had a V90 AWD Cross Country thing for a month. D5... Hated it, so much turbo lag and the touch screen tablet in the middle was far to cumbersome and distracting. Imagine pressing 'back' countless times trying to find a menu.

No thanks

Got on ok with the screen on our 2 test drives, its better than the one in our Octavia Scout. But I hate touch screen in cars full stop, its a stupid idea

I don't know, when combined with adequate physical buttons for key functions, it works well for other settings.
