Bye mk4, hello mk4.5...

Sadly said goodbye to my mk4 vrs estate in black last weekend. Exactly 3 years old, 28k miles - a great car (apart from the Bridgestone tyres!) If anyone is after a good mk4 with pan roof, winter pack and complete Skoda service history, they have it for sale at Winchester Skoda and Ryan is your man.

Took delivery of a brand new stock vrs estate in Smokey Silver. Tow bar, winter pack, pan roof, dcc, canton and simply clever pack. Early thoughts are they it sounds so much nicer on the exhaust note and the dcc is amazing. The Goodyear Eagle Supersport tyres - wow! The dash and door trims however are dissapointing. They've replaced the alcantara for some cheap material. The carbon fibre look on the dash is now a much cheaper textured plastic. They no longer provide covers for the isofix points in the back either. Just a few small things but sometimes these matter. Other than that, very impressed. Took the warranty up to 5 years so intend to keep this one!
