I am so pleased with mine i have just treated it to an oil and filter change at 1500 miles I may keep this one and although I will service it as Skoda require it may be I decide to keep it so am treating it as engineers rather than accountants would -my local garage did it for £25- very happy.

[^ JCP:  Just noticed your revised signature.  Are you quite sure that the 1.2 DSG is a calming experience?  It's given me more than one fright when the loud pedal hasn't produced the instant forte produced by its predecessor ]

It is much better than some find it-or I am driving differently. I would describe it as nimble and brisk. I hardly ever used the considerable power of my mapped 1.8 as my licence was traditionally fragile and maybe I have learned that driving on my reflexes isn't as easy or useful or fun as I used to find it. My dad slowed down a lot as he aged and I now understand why-it is much more relaxing.
