Just see this thread, and had a really good read. Thanks all for the input & @arturp for creating it. I'm currently in the process of pushing the button on an Octavia vRS estate. I'm really undecided on what colour & options to go for.. So far, I'm thinking the following colours.. Colour Velvet Red, looks stunning. Only ever seen one in the flesh. And WOW!! Graphite Grey, was my original choice, but I have had far to many grey cars over the last 10 yrs. A great colour for flying under the radar. Space Violet, looks a bit different. Not seen one in the flesh, but worried with some of the dealer pics it looks a bit light & washed out. And the complete flip side, another dealer has one & this colour looks beautiful. Options Winter Pack DCC Pan roof, unsure Simply Clever Package Premium, simply for the boot net, when the dog is in the boot. If you could choose again. Which options are a must & what would you avoid? I know you don't by a vRS for fuel economy, but would be interested to hear if 35-40mpg is achievable in real world driving? Many thanks!!!
