You'll be paying ~£19000 over 4 years, what is the car for sale for? If you plan on owning it or having some equity in it ( and you want a car sooner) go for the PCP option? If you want a car brand new for less money (~£248 all in if you split your deposit across 3 years) then wait it out for the lease?

I guess everyone isn't very busy in work haha

Mine was ordered yesterday, I have a screenshot from something that looks like a Skoda order system, has order number, dealer code, uk port, options, model etc so they must have been accepting orders up until yesterday? It seems we will be seeing a few more of these on the road soon, I have not spotted once since I got interested in them. It's been years since I have driven a 'powerful' petrol car having been riding bikes instead, my last one was an S2000. I'm looking forward to having a practical car I can also go for a blast in while still having my other car for high mpg runs.

45 bones on eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222658629942 - I think they would be a good investment for winter! My mates 2004 Fabia VRS was constant live but I was hoping they had changed it. My idea is to find a non essential 12v ignition live in the fuse box and use a piggy back to get a line off of it. I'm sure this has been covered in dedicated threads so will investigate :)

Taking advice for the guys who have already received there 245's, bearing in mind I'm leasing so don't want to invest too much, what do you think are the most useful things to put in the car? Currently I am thinking: Bumper cover, the wife will be dragging a pushchair in and out and I don't want the paint to get battered The car comes with floor mats right? I'm thinking of getting a set of rubber ones for the days when I have muddy boots I didn't spec the flippy over rubber boot carpet for the estate so will buy a rubber mat Do you know if these Octavia's have constant live 12v sockets or ignition live?

My first post on Briskoda but thought it best to place it in this thread as I found this thread really useful prior to ordering a 245, especially when I realised the cars don't come with a space saver! Sent the order to the leasing company Friday for a Corrida Red 245 Estate, stock car except for the addition of a spare wheel. I'll update when I get the order confirmed with Skoda and a build week.
