    What does this car say about you?

    Different. Not a badge snob. A bit left field.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They think its cool. Some a bit concerned about the colour (white), but I like it. Gets lots of looks when I drive it, maybe because its still a new model.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    At the moment, yes.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Maybe a Superb estate. Had not considered Skoda before but will again. Car feels as well built as my brothers year old Golf.

    What's it like to drive?

    Fantastic. Its only a 1.2 but its a turbo and supercharged (I think), so its very quick off the mark. Also has 6 gears so on the motorway, its very quiet and unstressed.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy. Bonnet tapers away but easy to judge.
