To repeat what I said earlier: why shouldn't a car owner be able to get into his/her car and drive it wherever and wherever he/she chooses without having to worry about driving it "in the right way"?

Well if you are referring to the bit about just driving up and down the road all the time, and nothing else, then this doesn't do any car any good. Even patrols. It also doesn't do you any good, as these are distances you should be walking.

It would be now I'm wavering towards a diesel, but I wasn't over enamoured with the dealership or the Seat Leon.

 

Next test drive is the Astra K sports tourer. A toss up between the 1.6 biturbo diesel, which has similar performance to the Octavia VRS diesel, and the 1.6T petrol. After that I'm giving up and going back into Skoda to look at another Octavia!

The Astra has a terrible chose of colours - unless you like one of the numerous shades of metallic grey!

I've always gone for silver in Estate cars, Sovereign Silver in the Astra looks okay.

 

Going to have to go with the Elite Nav spec and add on Parking Pack to match the Elegance spec.

 

We'll see, test drive next weekend will probably put pay to everything in any case!!
