My wife wasn't involved in the decision ! Which meant I only had to satisfy myself (see above). Choosing my wife wasn't a very logical process either !!

It might sound logical and I like to think I'm quite analytical but actually I usually resort to post-rationalisation to justify my decision (to myself as well as my wife) which is probably really based on an emotional response and a desire for gratification.

Having owned various VeeDubs - from a Beetle to a Scirocco to a Transporter - I am about to upgrade my life... I'm getting a MkIII Octavia Estate vRS 4x4 with DSG. Deciding on an Octavia Estate was easy, deciding which model to go turned out to be much harder as I really wanted a petrol 4x4 but of course there's no such thing (at the moment anyway). I also thought I'd get a manual but then I drove a Scout with DSG, which changed my mind about the transmission as well as showing me the benefits of 184PS compared to 150 (never knew that PS was German for BHP before either). So that ruled out everything except the Scout and the vRS so had to try one... just so much more planted and precise than the Scout. Decision made !
