Whats the best thing about your car in your opinion.

1.Taff170- comfy vRS seats

2. Knowing my car is far better value for money than all the VW's and Audi's on the road!

And the general surprise from people who get in it.

Very under estimated by many until they experience a drive.

I do love Vrs Seats...

Though I think its the rear end, big ass, twin pipes and a decent size spoiler.

In fact I think its the colour, race blue!

Or a Ford

The look on a BMW driver's face when left a long way behind ! (which is almost the same as Paul007)

Destroying Focus ST's, Astra VXR's and GTI's; keeping up with Focus RS's and Audi S4's

+1 to jonno. Bear in mind ours are tuned of course.

The boot!

My car on a charity run.

8 with the door closed!

I love the unique and special club you join as soon as you own one, reminds me of my biking days

I like the fact that I cannot aford a good car so have had to settle for a Skoda.

3rd gear

Another vote for the boot here

You probably could have bought an RS6 with all the plumbing you had done to the Octavia :p

mix of the size of the boot and the economy after coming from a turbo bora

a cavernous boot that you couldnt get anything big into because of the opening and average of 28.5 mpg over the last 3000 miles that i had it.

would say the octys boots bigger and easy to get stuff in and 43mpg is a hell of a difference

It's great all round and lots of gadgets to play with. Hard to think of a single point but a good balance of strong performance and economy springs boringly to mind.

Also, too many things to pick out one point:

the oomph from the 1.8 TSi engine, almost at any speed and any gear (almost!)

the ginormous boot, especially when back seats down and shelf removed - I call it my truck

the incredibly easy to clean finish - Cappuchino. Hardly shows dirt, and when it does it removes so easily

comfortable insides, especially in extremes of weather - quick to warm, quick to cool.

the great rear parking sensors - I seem to get into spaces smaller than the car (okay, so what's a few dents!!)

I could go on....but I won't!

Yes yes! Thanks for the reminder.

Its 1000 times better than the crappy old rwd estelle that my old man drove at my age...

My 40+ mpg driving around town...or should that be sitting in traffic jams !

Yes yes! Thanks for the reminder.
