My SEL 1.5 DSG in race blue is being traded in for a SEL Exec 1.5 DSG on Wednesday.

It's been reliable and quick but got a reasonable offer so it's basically the same car just a different colour.

Only factory option added is a heated steering wheel and the paint 

Only gripe I have is that Skoda fits crap brake disks that need replacing much to soon. 

Just hope this one is as reliable 🤞

Agree about the  - rear - discs, however much to my surprise, by utilising occasional applications of the handbrake whilst in motion, as suggested on here, I have managed to get my rear discs back into some semblance of a reasonable appearance.  You shouldn't have to resort to that, but if you can remember to do it, it does alleviate the issue.

Will give it a try. Good tip

Mine are fine, weird🤷🏻‍♂️

Use the adaptive cruise control from time to time. It uses the rear brakes to reduce the speed when you're approaching a car in front of you.

I’d be surprised if just the rear brakes were used as they wouldn’t be sufficient to stop the car from speed.
