Hi Everyone,

My car is coming off lease and I'm considering taking out a new lease or keeping my current 08 Octavia Elegance Manual 2.0TDi (the latter is more cost effective).

She currently has 144k on the clock and hasn't had any major issues - aside from an air con issue covered under warranty. The car still drives brilliantly, and my friends often comment how comfortable the car rides on long road trips (not to mention getting near 1000km off a tank).

Just checking to see if would be a wise move to keep it for a few more years. What is everyone's experience with long term ownership/high milage examples?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dave
