Octavia 07

I reckon in about 3 yrs time, they will be well known enough and be getting enough good used car reviews people will start picking them up. At this stage in Skoda Marketing, they have got the name out, now need to back it up with servicing and getting repeat sales and word of mouth.

So far the head of Skoda has been spouting off a lot of positive stuff, but as far as repeat sales etc, they have been awful at following up owners, providing any help, or building any relationships.....leaving it up to the dealers and the cars themselves....they need to take a leaf out of Mazda HQ and start being proactive. Starting by defining what a maximum cost is for a service and not leaving it up the dealers for guesswork for starters.

I purchased my Skoda, a black Octavia Elegance 2.0 TDI DSG sedan with 30,000kms on it two months ago from a wholesaler for $19,000. The best purchase I ever made, fantastic car and got a great deal. Only if I just new how to keep that ivory interior clean.

Anyone else with a 2.0 DSG TDI could you let me know what your fuel economy is, I'm averaging 6.4 with mostly city driving.

Also, I heard of an update available for the cars ECU to remove turbo lag, is this something anyone can shed some light on?

Cheers
