So 2.0 CR elegance, sunset, KESSY, columbus, Canton, power boot. I regularly do 700 miles a week.

What I love: Everything apart from voice control.

It's comfortable, powerful (enough ). Love the audio and the power boot option is excellent.

Colour maxi dot and columbus make nav audio and phone a dream.

The seats are fantastic, supportive comfortable.

I did 30k in a Kia ceed estate 1.6 d in just over a year and every long journey was fatiguing, I relish the miles in the Octavia.

2 tanks average 50.5 mpg not taking it easy but under 90 mph. . Mixture of a roads and M25.

I whole heartedly recommend this vehicle for eating miles and leaving a smile on my face.

Change your profile - you still have the Kia!!!

Hmm can't find edit profile in taptalk app. .

Is the voice control that bad?

 

I also like the power boot, it really grows on you

 Yes

I've given up and use manual.

 Yes

I've given up and use manual.

Have to agree, voice is rubbish (I suspect to push people into the upgrade) and power boot is well worth the extra money.

It's shocking, plus seeing as you have to press a button for the car to listen to you it's actually easier/quicker to just press the button for what you want.

You can.

Eh? There is no upgrade for voice control....

Press button " new destination" - calling wife.

Press button "Call wife" - Please say street name.

Press button "Radio" - I didn't understand. ..

All the controls are at your fingertips with maxi dot. Voice is redundant.

I had voice control in a 2012 5 series I had a year or so ago. Worked all but flawlessly. 

For what's worth to English speaking users, voice control in Italian seems having the same brilliant performance...
