Well, having spent all of Saturday driving round south London to avoid the M25 closure I've got my hands on an Octavia estate.

Its a 51 reg Elegance estate in Cayenne red metallic with 74,000 miles on the clock. 1.8T 2WD with a full dealer service history.

Booked in for it's first MOT tday and a service/cam belt change on Friday at the dealer. SO far my impressions are very good indeed, as a motorway car I really cannot fault it. Not had much chance to do non-motorway miles yet as my journey to work is just 4 miles.

Great things about the car so far are:

• The turbo noise
  
• The huge boot area
  
• the cleverly concealed CD changer
  
• the ride
  
• the colour
  
• the dealer - very helpful, faxed my through the history of the car prior to my ownership.
  
• The trip computer
  
• loads of clever little features like the centre sun visor, the 12V outlet in the boot
  

Very very pleased with the car (Had a MK4 astra SXi 1.8 before). Already thinking about Jabber'ing in the spring

God damn you clever people, I'd had mine 6 months before I found that centre sun visor and even then it was pointed out to me by a passenger.

A good choice.

Hello and Welcome,

one of the best colours Skoda do IMO.

Here's a photo of it - and yes, that is a private airfield I have full access too
