Greetings from New Zealand! Our stocks of the Octavia IV have just arrived and I have seen the car in the metal in the showroom. Design-wise, it's superb (no pun intended). I have yet to take the test drive but have configured my ideal spec on the Skoda NZ web site. If I do sign for one, it'll be highly optioned with the panoramic sunroof, head up display, adaptive suspension and massaging sports seats with under-thigh extensions. I welcome comments from owners with experience of these options. Are they worth the extra? Also, I feel let down by some of the cabin plastics - notably the rear door trims and front door pulls in hard plastic. The ongoing infotainment issues are also concerning. Feedback looked forward to with great interest.
