Family like it, my friend was amazed by how much oomph its got. Not the prettiest of cars but not offensive looking.

Skoda Octavia VRS estate.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Space

What was the dealer like?

OK, typical car supermarket.

What's it like to drive?

Very good, plenty of power and easy to manouver at spead on the country roads, which is astounding due to its shape.

What's it like to park?

Good, its not as big as you think and always has pleanty of room for the doors to open in parking spaces. Sliding rear doors are brilliant.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Too far to nearest dealer so use a Skoda dealer for servicing, who cannot turn off the oil change light. Apart from that no problems so far. Except the reversing sensor is too sensitive to dust & water droplets.

What's most practical about your car?

Huge boot with the seats up, pleanty of head room, comfortable driving position. Robust interior. Also even with the front seats right back there is still bags of legroom for rear passengers.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Dosn't really have much, got a official Fiat roof bar set which looks really good on the car.
