Sold my mk3 after almost 11 years

[DJD66]

Sold my mk3 to friends on Tuesday!

It had been my best Octavia I'd ever owned!

Car 9 on owners register thread.

It did object on the day, as the microswitch that opens the boot failed!

I picked up a mk4 on Wednesday!

It's my 5th Octavia since 1999.

I have the same issue,

Can't get a manual in Aus any more, don't like all the mandatory safety assists, don't like or need big screens and only Chinese (mostly crappy) built cars are affordable.

Apart from shopping mall scars our 2014 low mileage Octavia drives as new so we are sticking with it.

Had my Octavia since February 2017 and 11 miles, now approaching 78000 and keep thinking about chopping it in but its been so reliable and again I don`t like all the modern stuff and big screens on cars nowadays. Driven Kamiq, new Octavia and Enjaq and Karoq as courtesy cars and none of them have wowed me enough to part ex.
