Just reached 1000km on my new Octy II 1.9tdi Elegance. (Have it since 23 Feb)

Have to say fuel economy compared to my old 1.4's is much improved despite only short journeys and one round trip of 350km.

No niggles or quibbles yet, not even a rattle.

There is a nice hum from the oilburner once on the move.

Dealer, Ballybrittas Motors (Pat Keogh) were a dream to deal with, especially on pricing and have followed up wit a few after sales calls to see if everything was ok and to m satisfaction.

Here she is in all her glory at a spot Gaff should be very familiar with!

Nice pic, the wheels look good

Glad you are enjoying the car - I liked mine so much that I will be picking up another new 1.9 in a couple of weeks.

Does look nice indeed! Nice colour!

This is our third new Octy.

First was a 2003 MkI 1.4 ambiente, eldest son now has it and still only 35k miles on clock

Second was a 2006 MkII 1.4 ambiente and was traded in with 22k kms recorded.

Will see how the next two years go, and while very satisfied with the brand/model not sure if I'll go again. However, if I do it will be back down to Ballybrittas

BTW, did nobody notice the aircraft flying in the pic?

Didn't notice the aircraft, but noticed the 'Roadferry' lorry, they are based in Leyland, Lancashire near to where I used to work.

I also noticed how elegant the car looks from the side.
