Hi one and all, 

 

New member here in Melbourne Aus.

 

Just bought my first Skoda, a 2023 Octavia Style Wagon (Estate) in Candy White. The only other car I've had from the VAG group was a 2015 Golf. It was a great little machine but had to sell after a couple of years in order to buy a large SUV for towing a pretty heavy caravan we had just bought. Now that 'phase' has passed, I can get back into a 'nicer' car for daily driving. It will be interesting to experience the new 8sp box after the Golf's 7sp DSG.  This Octavia comes fully loaded with factory fitted Luxury Pack, Tech Pack and Panoramic Sunroof, so it should be a very nice place to be!  Anyway, looking forward to picking it up from dealer on Thursday.

Welcome, hope the new car is everything you hope for.
