Thanks, Edu! It's Titan blue. Almost one year on, I'm still very pleased with the choice of colour

Me too, mine's booked for 3 (!) updates next week.

That's a good looking Octavia! Love the colour and the alloys. Congrats!

Yes, they said that they would fix it at first but I guess the insurance company said no. Don't know what the story is with the fog lights on the MK4, apparently it's not a problem anymore....

Sorry, yes my car is scheduled for a software update next Tuesday (something to do with the airbags). They may not need to replace the fog lights after all, not clear why they changed their minds about this.

I have the Columbus in my mk4, but there is unfortunately no hard drive.

Really? I was not reached by Skoda about that. Hopefully they will notify me. Just reply to this thread so I will know when you are booked for an update. I will have to talk with my dealer. I guess they'll fix this in a couple of weeks; spare parts are ordered. Will let you know!

That's correct, mine's 45 litres.

Yes, indeed. Mine will apparently get a software update soon, and they will replace the key fobs and the fog lights(!) for some reason. Anyway, congrats on your new car - I'm very pleased with my MK4 and ride quality is very, very good even on 18" wheels.

Hi everyone, My car (MY19 Octavia 1.5 TSI) was hit in a parking lot a month ago, and I got a letter from my insurance company last week that they are not going to repair it. Instead they are offering me a new car. I could get the old Octavia model i.e. the same as my car, heavily discounted, but paid a little more to get the new Octavia instead. It's a First Edition 1.5 TSI Estate, Manual, Titan Blue with a "premium pack", Columbus, 18" wheels and some other specs I may not have chosen myself had I ordered it from the factory - however, this car is already in the country, so I'll get it soon (not too keen of spending the summer without a car..). I hope the "nose dive"/kangaroo-problem won't be present in the new Octavia. The main reason I didn't chose the old model is that mine did have some problems with hesitation at low revs. Anyway, will keep you posted!
