Hmm. You're in the hands of the dealer network here.

On the road
Driving
Not the most rewarding, but then again it's a big car.
Performance
Happiest on motorways, but does the twisty stuff capably if pushed.

Living with it
Reliability
Abysmal! 11 weeks & 10k miles after delivery it required a whole new wiring harness and carpets throughout. Faulty pollen filter diagnosed. 22 weeks to fix!!
Image
Improving for the tax savvy company car driver, but still not great.
Comfort
Can't fault it for either passengers or driver

Security and Service
Security
It's not been nicked yet, though how much is down to the locks and how much to the badge is a moot point....
Service
Some dealers are better than others. Ended up dealing directly with Skoda UK. Choose your dealer VERY carefully if you live in the East of England.
