Hi there, Bought my first Skoda a few weeks ago and I’m loving it. It’s a 2017 Octavia VRS TSI Estate (67 place, facelift model) in Meteor Grey. 
 

Being a mountain biker and also owning 2 large dogs, my 3 door MINI Cooper S just wasn’t cutting it! When I started hunting for its replacement I knew I wanted all the fun of the MINI but with the practicality of an estate and my new car does it in bucket loads.  
 

 

Hello and welcome Sue 

 

They say you should never look back, but I often wonder how my 2015 vRS is doing, wherever it is.  It was fantastic for space in the boot, which is certainly something I do miss.

It got under your skin by the sounds of it, happy nostalgia I hope! My partner’s had a long line of Golf GTIs so I can appreciate the fun/comfort/practicality of your current ride. I took a Golf GTD Estate out on a test drive because I liked the familiarity of a VW but I found it really dull, no excitement. Just as well really, my heart was already sold on a vRS and getting the petrol version was a Brucey bonus!
