Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not a lot.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think it looks good and they think the sliding doors are great, however they can't believe how many times its been back into the garage with so many faults, it's become a running joke with the neighbours.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No never, can't believe I got rid of Skoda Octavia for this. My 2.0 petrol Octavia was more economical than the 1.6 tdci C max and better built, faults after faults after faults , it's got the point when you go out in it you are just waiting for something else to go wrong, dealer/after sales were terrible, wish I had bought something else but hind sight is a wonderful thing.
What are you likely to buy next?
Skoda Octavia.
