Greeting Biskodians!

Thought i would join up as i am due a new company car and, after reading threads on here, the Octavia estate has rather taken my fancy.

Unfortunately having submitted the 2.0 TDI L&K for a quote it is just over my allowance, even tho a modeo which costs 2k more is within it

Quite like the idea of the DSG box, having taken one for a test drive last week, so find myself in a dilema thant perhaps you 'old hands' may have a few opinions about.

Bearing in mind it will be my workhorse doing around 30,000 miles a year, i want a diesel, i also want it to be quite high spec as i virtually live in it during the week.

Does an 1.9 TDI give you enough grunt, for motorway driving, i.e overtaking or a bit of a scream if i am running late for an appointment. will it do 100ish without feeling like it has a mind of its own!?!

Is the DSG worth it, should i drop a spec to the elegance? will i loose much in the way of creature comforts, and will it be worthwile just for a DSG box? Always driven a manual but i guess i am a bit of a 'gadget boy' at heart.

All answers/opinions greatfully received

Thanks!

Welcome :wave:

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to answer your questions

Greetings Fabster

Being the weekend, I suspect everyone is out cleaning their cars (that's code for relaxing after Sunday lunch by the way) If your post is missed on this Introduction forum, you might want to copy it into the Octavia forum.

Have you had a chance to browse the site yet?

Regards

Mo

Thanks Mo

Yes i lurked for a few weeks before registering, i got a test drive on the strength of all the comments on here and was suitably impressed.

I'll try your suggestion tho

Thanks again

my octy tdi 130 elegance purrs at over 100. get it remapped. o hi and welcome.

if it was my own i would, but as a company car, i'd have to declare it for insurance etc, so thats a no go really, so it would be a 105.
