Thats for the input guys, looking at the body kit I think I'll leave it As for the expensive fuel, well......i dont drive that many miles anymore so i guess I'll just have to take it on the chin. I had an IBIZA FR TDI before and it was very very economical. The Octavia seems like a real guzzler :eek: but I love it! I didnt take GAP insurance? I figured it would be a rip off of some kind. I'm not planning on crashing it!

If this helps sanity check the prices you are seeing. I just bought my June '06 VRS (TFSI) with 19K and Dual Zone CC, Met paint, rear electric windows and rear parking sensors for £13900 and that was from a Skoda dealer. £15800 is crazy, you ca probably get a deal on a new one for a grand more! Definately worth shopping around, I was also after onw with Maxi-dot but it was either that or the rear electric windows and parking sensors which have more value to me. Good luck with the search!

Picker the car up yesterday, absolutely awesome. Love it! Just got a couple of questions, any help much appreciated. No 1 - Car says super unleaded on the inside fuel cap. Does that mean our UK unleaded is too low octain or is that based on the US low grade. I remember reading that Roz vs Ron ratings are different. Filled her up with V-power today but ideally dont want to keep that up all the time No 2 - The ESP system seems to be quite intrussive, its reigned me in a few times today. Any of you have any tips and trick for this? No 3 - Anyone tried out that Milo-tec 6 piece body kit? is very subtle but wondered about the quality as I've never heard of them. Awesome GTI Store UK - Milotec Skoda styling Thanks Ron

Thanks guys, pick her up tomorrow.......cant bloody wait!

I have finally given up my pregudice and bought a nearly new '06 Octavia VRS (TFSI). Glad to find such a vibrant forum comunity.....I have been a member of the Corrado and Audio forum previously. Looking forward to getting to know some of you, and to picking the car up on Sat!! Ron
