Noted, thanks for the tip. I'm not one for putting my foot down at all to be honest, there are only a tiny amount of occasions where I would give it a little extra for fun but it's extremely rare I bother to do so. Keeping my options open and plan to go and see a few over the weekend.👍🏻👍🏻

Great info, thank you very much. Any idea what fitting would likely cost for the lowering kit? I was expecting the VRS would be a bit thirstier to be honest but if there's hardly anything in it I may still consider one, although from what I'm seeing at the moment I'd have to stretch my budget a bit further to get a VRS initially. Already done insurance quotes and not much in it, but being sensible I'm kind of still leaning toward a non VRS because if I'm honest performance and handling are not priorities for me at all, comfort is going to matter more and if I get a few more mpg too that's a plus for me. Would you say 93k is an acceptable mileage (if the history is good) on that 2013 diesel, considering I'll be doing mostly steady motorway driving? Thanks for your time, appreciate it!

Morning all, new here and so far very impressed by the amount of helpful content! I have a couple of questions before buying my first Skoda, a little context first I guess is helpful- I commute 56 miles per day with the majority of that as motorway, rest of the time it's a family car, occasional weekend and long-ish trips but not loads. Fuel economy and general running costs are high priority. Considering buying an Octavia estate 2.0tdi elegance (manual), part of me would like a VRS but economically I don't think it would be the best decision, however I'd be keen to know real life differences in MPG/running costs from people with experience. I've seen a 2013 elegance that I'm off to test, looks a good clean car with full history and has had the cambelt done, currently has 93k on the clock and going for a shade under £7k, does this sound like a good buy?? Additionally, if I go for something like that which is more plain styling wise, I'd be looking to lower it a little bit and maybe different wheels but really just for looks more than handling so I'd prefer a lowering option that doesn't sacrifice loads of comfort , is there a rough estimate for what lowering would cost to get done? And what are the best options for more forgiving lowering? Thanks in advance!
