The ability to start and stop the unit by sending SMS messages to it.

About 25000 Danish kroner I beleive - for the entire unit.

My Octavia has a Webasto that heats both engine and interior which does indeed have its own sim. Had the dealer install it. Best feature I have ever had in a car.

Rub the seals with silicone - used to have to do that with the golf or it would be impossible to open in the winter. New Octavia has a heater I can start from my phone. Watching the ice melt away while having my toast and coffee is quite, quite pleasing

No spring mechanism - just plain rubber stops.

Sure - I'll check when I get a chance to - might be able to later tonight.

I think I did about 3-400 miles before noticing that it had decreased.

I have a two week old 1.4 hatch. When it was brand new I noticed something like what is described here but it has settled down now or disappeared. Was quite uncomfortable for the first week or so.

Hi all, just signed up. I'm 38 and a father of two (well I will be in a few weeks at least). When working I do software development. Currently driving an old Golf Estate from 2001 - nice car with automatic gearbox, all leather etc that's getting a little long in the tooth. So just ordered an Octavia Hatch 1,4 which I'm very much looking forward to driving - didn't spec a lot of extras but did go for the adaptive cruise control, bolero radio and a heater for the Danish winters.
