Looks great, the colour is very nice and the new badges look good too. The one we considered was in stock but was black, if it was like this then maybe we would have got it.
2012 Lava Blue MY12 Skoda Octavia 90TSI manual
1978 Mercedes 300D and 1985 190E
1978 Triumph 2500S Fireball Red
1969 Triumph 2.5PI Mk1
Well the car is now about 5 months old and has done about 8000 km.
It is fantastic, absolutely not one thing wrong with it. Nothing is a bit loose/wonky/crooked/second rate. You can understand why Skoda's owner satisfaction is so high. Everything opens/closes perfectly with a light touch. No rattles or squeaks. Japanese builds quality but with European fun to drive.
Fuel economy is averaging BETTER than the advertised figures - gettintg about 5.4 l/100km average.
Today we had a trip to Warrnambool, we got stuck behind some motorhomes and ended up quite late, after I passed them I pushed the little car pretty hard to make up time. Still averaged 5.7 l/100km. (actual fuel figures, not off the trip computer.)
I can't rave enough about it.
My partner often says "thanks for finding me this great litttle car."
That's great to here positive reviews on VAG products... The interior looks quite good more upmarket then I remember the fabia looking. Is the steering wheel new? Well done on your purchase.
