Just got a news e-mail from What Car and they appear to have taken on an Octy III as a long term test car to replace a Rapid.

Top Gear magazine have also just taken delivery of an Octavia 4x4 se diesel estate in the latest issue.

The Plumber, I bet you are going to follow this closely ! Yours was 4x4 right?

 

BTW I fully agree with their statements about the Rapid...

Yes awaiting an SE 150 4x4 with RRP

 

Will have to see if I can find a copy of the TG mag.
