After looking around for a while, and lurking here!, I took the plunge & purchased Octavia Vrs estate. I read loads of reviews which seemed very positive, so I found a nice 2008 Vrs estate, Silver, less than 7000 miles, from a main dealer. Standard apart from rear parking sensors. Its the PD engine, but was priced well below any similar car so I was happy with that.. couldnt really justify a couple of grand extra for the CR!

I'd like cruise control so will have a search to see if this is possible.

Thanks for good posts on this site, very useful to a newbie..

Cruise control is easily added

Good luck with it!

Nice one you won't regret it.

Indeed, great car, I'm sure you won't regret it!

Yep, cruise can easily be added by someone with vagcom.

Welcome:thumbup: you wont regret it.:smokin:

Nice one dude!! The BEST colour too!

Get some piccies up? Welcome to Briskoda

Agreed! Welcome!

I love this car!, nothing to complain about at all. Easily the best car I have owned. The quality & drive compares to a 3 series BMW I had from new in 2002 (but double the MPG!).

All I have done to the Vrs is to put a neat 4'' USB cable tail by the drivers window pillar, for satnav. That was an easy job, I got a 5M Usb to Mini Usb cable from Maplins, poked it down a gap behind the fuse cover on dash end, through the exposed dash void there - then the cable was easily pushed under the door/carpet trims along the drivers side, plugging into a USB car charger -plugged into the socket in the estate boot. There will be better ways, but no drilling or splicing needed this way!
