Hello everyone. 

In 2014 after owning 3 golfs and 2 Octavias, I was tempted away by the stellar reviews being given to the Nissan Qashqai. What an expensive mistake. It turned out to be the worst new car I have ever owned - unreliable electronics, poor build quality, a rotten drive around town, and some very nasty cheap materials. So, a week ago, I took delivery of a new Octy SEL with a few extra bells and whistles. I could weep with joy. Cheaper than the Nissan, even with the extras, and such a different proposition. 

Well, that's my lesson learnt. All I can say is that it feels like coming home!!

Snap, I returned to the fold on Nov 1st with a 2nd hand Octavia.

I bought my 1st Octavia (04 model) in 2008, ran it trouble free until May '15.

Decided after 7 trouble free years to replace it, before any big bills appeared, with a Berlingo.

No problems with the Berlingo either, a very spacious vehicle, but with troubling knees I figured an automatic gearbox would be better for me, andthe VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda ESG auto was an obvious choice, ideally in a Skoda.

My local Skoda dealer had an auto estate, one owner, etc. etc. + a 2 year warranty, breakdown and service package included, how could I refuse.

A very content Skoda owner, all over again.

Welcome back!  The Qashqai is a decent car, but it is all relative to what you're used to driving.  Skoda versus Nissan....hmmm.....no contest there for me
