... so we've been talking for a while about the new kilometers I get to do through work and the current car is on a lease. With me pretty much guaranteed to go over the agreed kms, I went to talk to the dealer. He had a white Ambition BusinessLine, spec'd with LEDs. 1.0, manual, Combi. So on the 24th the grey hatch will be swapped for a white Combi. This is on a 100k km lease over four years. A couple of thoughts on consumption: the current car has a long-term average of 5,2l/100, with average speed of 63km/h. That's just since the winter tyres were put on, but it reflects pretty well where the numbers were going. 54mpg ain't too shabby for a petrol Octavia. Yes, mostly 100km commutes / airport runs with 100km/h limits, but the temps are awful, lots of wet roads (which makes a significant difference) and no particular attention paid to consumption. Very interested to see how the Combi stands up to this, as it will have a GPF. It's also getting a towbar. Tyres will be Nokian Hakka 9s for winter. Now to clear all the junk from the car and work out what I want to customize on the new one... - Bret
