Where does it mention only applies to full electric. First line mentions hybrids.

Still unsure how Reeves is expecting to get the 1.5p per mile on a PHEV? Yes guv I have a PHEV but only use the petrol engine!

Maybe deliberately so giving Skoda wiggle room as we all know the ethics of the VAG group!

Not discounting a Superb. In fact looking through them prices often lower than equivalent Octavia. I agree that the RRP canbecome inflated once desired extras are added on. Eveb so I would have though electric seats, windscreen etc would and should come fitted to most cars these days, they are nopt rocket science. And not too keen if what Evolution13 is saying is true that battery warranty goes out the window with owner number 2.

One other thing I not when going through various advertsided cars is that lots seem to be missing what I take for granted in my 15 year old Frelander 2. Namely electrically adjustable front seats with memory. Heated front seats Heated front windscreen My freelander is not the top trim level but has all these 15 yrs ago.

Am in UK ignore email address. Yes If I did plump for a PHEV would be as you say be 2021 or later so hopefully plenty of life it it yet. I am sure I read somewhere some time ago, maybe a What Car video, Skoda gave a 10 year warranty on the battery that after 10 years would still be at 70% or more. Have been trolling the Skoda site and can find no reference to a MHEV at all not that I am in the market for one.

Will do thanks

Time to glean a bit more info before I possibly commit. Think I have narrowed down my needs to a 1.4TSI PHEV Octavia Estate 2017 to say 2022 I have checked on here about reading the car manual first, a good idea. Problem is I cannot find one relating to a PHEV vehicle. Next drive battery health is the in car estimate accurate? Any gearbox to really avoid And this engine noise generator, if fitted, how loud in fact is it. Some say can be clearly heard in the cabin? Is there room for a spare wheel in a PHEV as not keen if not. Thanks in advance

Sounds like you did quite well out of it. Does yet seem to be on the market.

Did the dealer end up buying it?

Fair opinion who knows how car dealers think. Lovely car would be sorely tempted if you were not 300 miles away.

Tell them you have somebody else interested.

Be interesting to see how much the dealer wants for it?

All in the eye of the beholder😃 Do you know the name of that specific wheel?

Looking at cars 2 to 3 years old. Quite fancy dipping my toe in the PHEV pond. Problem is most of the ones I see have what I consider awful looking wheels as in this link. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202410084947669?sort=relevance&searchId=44900ab4-6f74-4be0-9c90-688876ffc756&advertising-location=at_cars&body-type=Estate&fuel-type=Petrol&fuel-type=Petrol Plug-in Hybrid&fuel-type=Petrol Hybrid&make=Skoda&maximum-mileage=80000&model=Octavia&postcode=nr14 8jb&radius=50&transmission=Automatic&year-from=2017&year-to=2021&fromsra I doubt I could ever come to live with such wheels. Is it just me who thinks they are too chav for the vehicle.

Right that would seem to make sense, if car manufacturers can ever be deemed to be sensible. I am currently zeroing in on a 2016 1.6 greenline version. looks not too bad. I am somewhat surprised at the lack of Octavias appearing through auction houses, well those that Joe Public can now attend.

Now looking at a 2015(65) Greenline Business SE. What is the difference between the Business SE and the SE Am struggling to find any hard evidence as to what makes the Business warrant the name difference.

An Octavia will do me size wise it is just that I happened up a Superb with the 1,6 engine.

How does the 1.6 TDi fare when planted in a Superb estate?

Am looking at 66 reg (2017) 1.6se technology greenline III, whatever the III means. Apart from better economy is there any reason to go for a greenline, of better still any reason not to?

Another one come into the fold a 2014 SE Business edition 1.6d. I quite like white cars. Is the bog standard manual none of this DSG lark. https://www.theaa.com/used-cars/cardetails/6-2039606

Now sold.

Good question as now does not appear online, have emailed dealer.

According to the Skoda UK site entering the VIN number it returns this Dear customer! The vehicle with this VIN code is not affected. Please enjoy your ŠKODA. Not entirely sure whether anything was done, or as according to dealer nothing needed doing.

Will definitely have a look in the metal if it gets onto my shortlist. They wrote what they wrote, but remember we are talking car dealers here.😁 I suppose I could contact Skoda UK and see what they say.
