Got the car today! So far driven 100 miles since I left work at 3:30pm.

The comfort is superb, and me liking the engine (although it is very different to drive compared to my furby). Still learning all the toys, but so far I'm very impressed!

Managed to average 53mpg on a tootle around where my fabia usually see's mid to high 60's, but still, the engine is new!

Pictures to follow as and when it's light.

Enjoy! Mine still keeps me grinning

It's just the agonising break-in period though! I can't wait until the engine is broken in.

Congratualtions.

I think that makes you the youngest Octavia mkII owner on the forum.

Glad you like your car:thumbup:

Have you been up that nice twisty road near you yet?

They do "fly" up that road quiet well

Yes I've already been up the C&F road twice lol, but as I'm not pushing the engine hard yet, I had to carry my speed through the bends to keep a reasonable pace up . . . what a shame.

Might go out for another drive soon lol.

Point re the xenons, I've not had a problem with mine? They are adjusting correctly and seem to be at the right level too. Main beam . . hmm lol, I'm not so sure - I think they might be a bit out!!

Rob

pm your reg so i can keep an eye out for you:thumbup:

Congratualtions.

I'm 30..do I qualify:)

Thinking about it, is there a younger octy driver on the forum.

I am the youngest female vRS driver... but then there is only me and pixi as far as I can remember.

Not hijacking thread.... congratualations again Rob!! (you had been waiting bloody long enough)

Hmm ok well if i don't hear from you in next hour, i know you were having too much fun

Just got back from a 31 mile drive.

The Octy is a superb A-road cruiser! Really eats the miles well. Despite my cruising "fairly quickly" I still managed 47mpg! :eek: Not bad for a car with 150 miles on the clock lol.

Just drive it like you stole it Rob, it'll soon be run in!!

In that case I want to be the youngest Superb driver!!

I remember in 2000 I was the youngest new Fabia driver at 24

I did consider a Superb actually at one point! The Octy better fits my needs though.

I'm going easy for the first 500 miles, then I'm going to revisit a certain local twisty road.

I really wouldn't take it too easy, don't kill it, but give drive it properly ffs!

I am driving it properly - trust me.

Yep don't nanny else you'll be nannying for the rest of it's life.

Get the first couple of hundred on and then go for it.

Glad to hear its arrived Rob

glad your enjoying it! i got mine last week and cant wait to get in the seat every time i take it out

Blimey :eek: You did wait a long time. Glad you like it
