Picked up the new Elegance Estate this morning. Horrible weather; wind, pouring rain; still my new Skoda UK Motorsport jacket kept me dry! Unfortunately, couldn't keep the inside of the car dry during the movement of 'stuff' from one Fab to the other!! My nice shiny white car was so dirty after driving it the 7 miles home, I had to hose it down soon as it stopped raining! Couldn't bring myself to get it dirty again, so it's in the driveway making wife's Fiat 500 (also white!) look disgusting! Ah well, be summer soon.

That's exactly why I didn't buy a white one.... oh and the fact the one I did buy was a grand less.

Hope your new one is as good as your old one, good to know you have faith in your Fabia. I am new to the Fabia though not new to Skoda having owned an Octavia in the past..

clean or dirty!?............will try. Haven't quite mastered the sizing (in memory) of photos to get them on here yet. To be fair, tried it once with the 'old' car and then, when it didn't work, couldn't be a#### trying it again!

not great pics but will get the hang of it someday!

It was worth it, they are nice pictures. I notice the TSi badge has changed since we bought ours.

as much as i love the new skoda logo, I don't like the text, prefer the older badges, or like mine, removed

very nice

yeah, never actually bothered to find out if the previous105 TSI badge was different from the 85 TSI badge, in that inimitable VAG way

I like the new' Skoda' on the back but prob prefer the old TSI with red in it. Each to his own, I guess. Probably many peeps on here who like or hate.

I think 105 ps has a red square after TSI and 86ps just has TSI?
