Hi all,
I should have been a member long time ago, I finally did it last week. Thanks all for such a nice forum and members. So, here is some story about my Skoda love.
I remember the day my brother and I convinced my father to buy Octavia Mk1 in a shopping centre when we saw it and he bought couple of months later in 2003, and I learned how to drive a car on my father's Octavia 2003 Business edition 1.6mpi, that was a great car served our family really well. My brother also learned how to drive on that car. First time I meet up with a car with my wife it was with my father's car, and so many family trips and histories with that Octavia. It has been part exchanged for new Octavia Mk3 in 2017, so my father is quite a fan and, I guess that he will drive an Octavia until he dies. He forced even his friends, his dentist, neighbours to buy one, and they did buy! Also, my brother has 2015 Fabia Mk3 special order with sport steering wheels, sport suspensions etc. He has been working on the car whenever he can, a lot mileage and he did a recent DSG overhaul and so on.
Anyway about my story, I have owned 2016 Fabia Mk3 and I had to sold it two years later because of a job, same colour and very similar to my brother's but not that sporty. Before the marriage my missus bought 2017 Fabia too. She still keeps it. My father in-law was retired in 2019 and he immediately bought a Skoda Karoq Edition, he wanted that car so much and fell in love with it. Unfortunately he passed away after driving it for few months in 2020, later that car has been sold. The reason that prompted my registration to forum is that I have sold my Fiesta and we bought a Skoda Karoq 1.5TSI SE L Meteor Grey recently. I hope that this Karoq will serve our family well and as a memento for my father in-law.
I guess that it is good enough evidence that as a family we are Skoda fans. I believe that there are families that love Skoda this much too.
All the best to everyone and happy many miles in Skoda!
