i am about to order a new octavia elegance, getting the MFSW + Bluetooth is there any other extras that are worth getting, thinking maybe front parking sensors are they any good and is there anything better to spend my cash on?

I would not worry about front sensors. The rears imho are useful on the hatch since rear visibility is not the best.

How about - BEER - FAGS & WOMEN

The memory will linger on when the metal has long since rotted away

Make sure you get a spare wheel. Maybe maxidot. Sure these things are probably standard on your fancy elegance anyway!

Xenons ( must have ), Maxidot and Heated Seats. In that order

Does it has cruise as standard <if not get it>

About £55 if you need to buy as an option with the car .

Maxidot (Czechlish for dot matrix). The brochure does a rubbish selling job, but if you read the owners' manual you'll see just what a step-up in functionality it is over the standard trip computer. It also allows a reasonable amount of personalization which can otherwise only be done with diagnostic kit.

(Owners' Manual is available on www.skoda-auto.com links pinned in a sticky thread at the top of this forum)

Reading this forum left me in some doubt if the Skoda bluetooth worked with enough phones to be reasonably future-proof. So I'm retro-fitting the fiscon kit. If you've got the Maxidot, the phone info would be displayed too. (Though as the display on the Bolero is bigger and touch-sensitive that's not a big plus).

Again the brochure does a poor job in selling the Light Assist - if you read the manual you'll get an idea if you like the features. My Elegance has the very nice boarding spots and its not clear if these are standard on the Elegance or part of the Light Assist package.

Multi-function steering wheels are a matter of taste, some people like them others don't. The right-hand column stalk does largely the same job in conjunction with the Bolero touch sensitive display. But as the saying goes: you pays your money and takes your choice.

If you are going for a bigger engine then keep an eye of the total cost of the Elegance plus options in comparison with the L&K. You don't have to add much (metallic is standard on L&K too) to an Elegance to be knocking on L&K prices.

Yep but think of the hangover n the guilt

Stick to the Octavia extras

Yep but think of the hangover n the guilt

Some of my biggest hangovers have been caused by crap cars.

(I'm in no way suggesting that Skoda's are in this category)

Guilt - often the biggest guilt is the things we don't do, rather than the other way.

Anyway if you don't go the FAGS/BEER/WOMEN route you could just squander the rest
