  1. If you do sell then please let me know, I'm in the market for one of these right now
  2. Just seen this and I was going to report back about C2C sorry I completely forgot! :( They use a Skoda dealer's fleet arm so the discount isn't applied on their cars but it is available through Drivethedeal.
  3. Really like my car, space is great and realistically the cabin is 90% as good as a Golf. Just wish I had gone for the vRS instead of the 1.4 petrol unit now!
  4. Carfile over £1,000 more than coast2coast unfortunately, might give c2c a call in the morning to see if loyalty discount applies to their dealer.
  5. Great, thanks for all the replies Sounds like just a dealer initiative then not a Skoda UK thing, and not stackable with other offers. Coast2coast have a new vRS at £20,998 so I was tempted by the thought of a £20k car with a few extras! Will stop configuring my new dream spec vRS online! :peek:
  6. Just wondering, is this a dealer-led thing, or a central Skoda UK thing? Got this email from my dealer the other day... (presumably as a result of emissions scandal) It did get me thinking, what is the cost to change from my 1.4 TSI into a petrol vRS? Hence the question - do I have to stick with my dealer to get this discount or am I free to find the best price nationwide and get the £1000 off Skoda UK?
  7. I've also noticed a discrepancy between my trip computer readout and the Fuelly calculated figure after fill ups. Typically the car is a few MPG too optimistic, but when in Eco mode the car really is in la la land with the amount of fuel it think it is saving!
  8. I enjoy mine but it does feel sluggish when fully loaded compared to lightly loaded (although MPG seems not to suffer too much) Suspect it's the DSG gearbox which keeps revs low to save fuel, but when it's got a few passengers you need to give it a few more beans to get it shifting!
  9. For a lease car you can't really afford not to take out GAP insurance I would suggest, not the other way round!
  10. You can easily fix this, it's a bit of a faff though and involves using another app first. Your default music player (HTC one) will load the metadata, so start playing tunes using that. Check on the Bolero that the track/artist info loads, as it normally should. Then switch to Spotify and start playing your Spotify music... hey presto your song data will load! Who said technology should make sense?
  11. Not quite car care this, but I have run out of screen wash for my Octavia after using up the little bottle of concentrate the dealer gave me when I bought the car. Are all screen washes the same, or are some better than others? Any recommendations?
  12. Interesting, so a Mark 4 Octavia could be here as early as 2018? Suspect the move to MQB was the big jump though, the next gen could be a bit like the Mark 5 to Mark 6 Golf - mostly cosmetic and cost savings! edit: few hints of future technology here: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/golf/89538/new-volkswagen-golf-mk8-tech-secrets-revealed 10 speed DSG sounds the most interesting, as does a more powerful TDI engine for the hotter versions
  13. Also not particularly relevant to getting the best deal, but don't bother with the sports suspension! It's a torsion beam rear axle anyway
  14. Carfile and coast2coast seem a tiny bit cheaper than DtD, although DtD has the strongest brand name so if there's only a few quid in it you might want to stick with them as you used them before! Or ask all of them where their dealer is and pick the one closest to you
  15. The car is depreciating a bit faster than I thought it would, this may affect my desire to get another one. What attracted me was a decent price and low interest rate but looking at the lease costs of some other cars the monthly outgoings seem quite high now...
