Hi all, just bought a 53 plate octavia estate TDI,had a couple of felicias in the past, didnt have much luck with them.Electrical probs etc. The Missus is not to happy cause of my past experience with Skoda. But third time lucky I say lol. Mind you the Octavia has a hard act to follow. Sold my Fiat Stilo JTD estate last week, 3 years of trouble free ownership, and 8 trips to Germany under her belt, still missing it. Only things I dont miss are the hard suspension, rear springs bottoming out over every bump. The Octavia is a much more relaxed smooth ride and I dont know why the reviews say theres no room in the back, cause its much bigger than the Stilo. Anyway there I go waffling again. Just cant wait for the next hols in deutschland so I can really stretch the octavias legs. I know the dog will be smiling all the way, taking out the false floor will give her enough room in there too throw a party lol. Anyway thanx for having a look at my first post. ATB Rhod

Welcome to Briskoda. I had a 2002 Octavia 1.8T 4X4 Estate for 9 years and was very impressed with it.

Hi mate I'm actually 12 miles south east in a little village called Creswell. Could have put Worksop I suppose, but more people know sheffield. If you get my drift.
