I've now done 5900 miles in 10 weeks. Everything still going well and wash it once a week. The large boot came in really handy when we bought 9 boxes of floor tiles from B&Q. About a week ago I started getting creaking noises from the dashboard around the glove box area so I tightened the screws (star drive) in the top of the glovebox and it sorted it straight away. No noises since.

Had mine 7 weeks and done 3,500 miles. Tried to work out the average mileage by filling the tank to the top each time and dividing the miles done by litres to fill up next time. If this is an accurate method I am getting about 10 miles to the litre which is about 45 mpg but this is a lot of motorway miles at a steady cruising speed of under 70mph (when I'm not stuck in a jam).

When I ordered mine they said I would get it by the end of March. I rang them on 24th March asking if they had a delivery date but they said hadn't heard anything. However they called me back the next day (25th) and said they would get it the next week and I could pick up on 31st so you might still get it by the end of this month. I understand how you feel cos I hate waiting for anything once I've placed an order. Good luck.

Picked it up last Thursday. Done 700 miles including a 400 mile round trip to Somerset last Sunday. It's a lovely smooth and quiet car to drive and the engine output is fine unless you want to be a boy racer. Looks great in Arctic Green. Not really bothered about fogs as I never had them on my Focus but I agree they do improve the look, might get them fitted later on. The sales guy at Alex Lawrie checked the car with me and explained how everything worked in detail when I went to pick it up then introduced me to the service manager who gave me his card and said call if I am worried about anything at all. Hope this great service continues. All in all I am very happy with my purchase.

Dealer just called to say it will be ready for collection next Thursday. Looking forward to it now.

I wasn't really bothered about the wheel size but they said this car had already been manufactured with the 16" crateris wheels on. To be fair to the dealer (Alex Lawrie) they met me half way on the additional cost by giving me an additional £150 part ex allowance on my Focus. Do you think it makes any difference having 16" wheels ?

I'm getting mine in about 3 weeks. Arctic green with 16" crateris wheels. Be good to read your review when you get yours, I'll report back on mine as well. (ps I gather from your username you are a Sunderland supporter - hope you beat Lpool today, I'm an EFC supporter).

It comes with 15" alloy wheels. The price quoted is for solid colour, metallic paint is extra.

I wasn't sure about the tinted windows but according to Birchwood Groups website it has this spec. only £10995 for a BRAND NEW, UNREGISTERED Skoda Octavia! Specification includes: * Alarm * Air conditioning * 6 CD changer * Electric windows * Tinted Glass * Remote central locking * External temperature gauge * ABS, MBA, MSR, ASR * Multi folding seats

you're right it's 2.25% flat rate. I think APR would be about 4.5% but still a good rate. I had a test drive, not the fastest car off the blocks but I still think good value for the price.

Hi all. Just ordered my first Skoda, brand new Octavia 1.6 SE they are doing this month at 25% off. Alex Lawrie in Liverpool gave me new car finance at 2.25% flat interest over 3 years, great rate. Car should be here in 3 weeks.

Ordered one today from Alex Lawrie in Liverpool. They gave me 2.25% new car finance over 3 years, not worth using your own savings with that rate.
