I had a tets drive in the LE and the leather with the white stitching was much nicer than the standard leather option. I would not have gone for leather but Skoda have stupidly used a lot of white/light coloured materials on the seats and with a child I could imagine these seats getting quickly grimy. If dark cloth seats were an option I would have never ordered the leather...

Ok, thanks for that had forgotten about the DSG box - it was a manual i drove today

The LE wasn't available with the DSG box, so I'm guessing the two figures are hatch and estate

If you want, email me the details of your Alfa and the spec of the Octavia you want.

We are a Skoda and Alfa Romeo dealership. We might be able to give you half sensible money on the 159 and also I can sort you out a deal on the vRS, providing you can wait for a new factory order.

e-mail on it's way James.

LE is a no-go as the P/X price for my car is way too low.

So at the moment the Alfa stays!
