Hello,
I've just signed up, its great to see an active car owners forum that I could potentially take part in.
I come from a long, long line of Honda's, I currently own a Civic Estate on a 2015 which I like for it's reliability and massive flat loading boot however I despise it's performance and want to make the move to an auto, seeing as though Honda only do SUVs now I'm looking at alternatives, so...
I've noticed the Octavia 190 2.0TSI, I'm not sure I fancy a VRS, I want better performance but I don't need a massive increase and I hate unwanted attention from others on the road and would prefer something with decent power that doesn't attract attention. Also this particular model seems to very well priced in comparison but unfortunately might take some finding because it seems pretty rare.
I would like to understand it's reliability as a main concern, I'm used to not having to worry about it at all, the car will need to do plenty of short journeys but will also get a run on the motorway at least once a week.
I'm in Manchester, if there are good specialist locally that would be handy to know where I can get it serviced and if any issues do come up I can trust them to resolve it
Other things I'm interested in are out of the pictures I've seen the SEL seems to have a flat load area for the boot but strangely the VRS doesn't, what am I missing here?
Another thing is Android Auto, the Skoda entertainment systems seem a bit of a mind field and I not sure what's the best way to make sure it has it.
Thanks for any help and advice!
