Thanks for the replies. I kind of figured that these would be known or standard ‘faults’. The water on the door sill is not too bad but I will mention it on the next service. The sound issue is compounded by the fact the most UK roads are, well let’s face it crap. Like I said it is not so bad as I spend most of the time in the car on my own but I guess there has to be a compromise somewhere. The misiting issue was the strange one in that, even I have been driving for 60+ miles, hit some rain, car windscreen starts to mist up. I did opt for the heat front screen (company car so you have got to spend ALL the pennies), so like I said I can live and be happy with it I was just curous if this was unique to me (which it seams not). Thanks for the help peeps!

Hi All. I am new to the forums and also to Skoda. I have had my car for a little over two years now and as it is for work done some 40K ish mile. There are a lot of things that I have found great about the car, Columbus wow's everyone that gets in for the first time! There are two point I would like to see if other drives are experiencing though. The first is that the road noise seems to be quite excessive at high speed (anything over 50). This is not so bad for me on my own as I just turn up the radio, however when I am with the family or, worse still on the phone the noise (to other people) is bad. Is this normal? The second and for me the more annoying one si that whenever it is raining the windows all steam up. This is regardless of where the AC is on or not and can only be cleared (temporally) by either turning on the front and rear heaters or turning the AC to MAX. The only odd thing I have noticed is that if the car has been parked then there is a small amount of water on the sills when you open the front doors. Any help or experiences would be gratefully received. On the whole I am happy with the car it is just these two small bugbears . Thanks

Hi I am new to Skoda (ish) and I came accross the fourms whilst looking for an answer to a question so I thought that I would dive in. I am a systems engineer and the car is used for work mainly (so lots of miles :P). I currently have a Octaiva III eleagance 2014. I have had it from new and, on the whole am happy with it. Happy motering to all.
