Probably, also not big enough to put her sales demo stuff into when carrying 2-3 other people too. Me I'd love one, I was about a week off buying one last summer...

As tapped earlier Mrs A's previous Octavia ran from 15K to 99K in 3-4 years with nothing other than regular servicing which is impressive, especially the way she drove it

My main issue is the dealers and service centres here. Luckily under EU law if we use an independent and they service to the same spec (e.g. correct spec oil on the bill, OE spec filters and so on) then the makers warranty runs on. We have a couple of local VAG independents which we used for the previous Skodas we have had and my Audi. Costs haven't been too bad for normal servicing, less than the main dealers though and you know the work has been done.
