I have just bought a Scala SEL 1.5 DSG. I used to have an Octavia on a personal finance plan and when it came to the end after 3 years I was shocked to find out how much the prices had gone up. I do not need a car as big as the Octavia so I downsized to the Scala. Also I wanted something a bit more sporty and nimble. I've only put 300 miles on it yet but my first thoughts are good. It's much tighter to drive than the Octy but the steering is crazy light. It's averaging about 45 mpg with mixed driving and I expect that will improve. There is plenty of room inside for my needs and it has plenty of power, not that I have floored it yet. Downsides are a lot of mechanical whirring noise, I think from the gear box, but this lessens as the engine warms up. It's nicely quiet at speed when fully warm. I have question: after driving for about 5 minutes, a message appears on the info screen that tells me a software update is available but I can not download it while driving. Well I am not going to stop the car to download an update. But when I get home I can not find what this update is and how to download it. Does anyone know what this is about? The car is only 4 days old.

Don’t worry about it. When the message appears just tap ok. The car will update the software in the background at some point.
