Any one else read the test report in Motoring section of the Telegraph 18/12?

Think they liked it!

..."it's a bit of a looker"

..."inside it is even more impressive"

..."it's simply brilliant"

..."it's simply a nice place to be"

..."the DSG is is brilliant and for less of a premium then any other VAG product"

..."the style and build quality has leapt forward almost beyond recognition

..."Skoda hasn't just caught up, it has leapfrogged lesser opposition to be an impressively credible alternative to anything in this market sector"

"We like...more or less everything"
