The Octavia vRS is the 200bhp Golf engine and in estate form is about £18,000 with a bit of spec and discount. The equivalent Audi is nearly £30,000 with a discount. It does make me think when I could have 2 and a nice holiday for the price of my BMW. The dealers are fantastic for customer service. We have had 3 fabias not a rattle, problem on any of them for 70,000 miles of motoring over 7 years.
Last fabia lost £3,300 for 2 yrs 9 months motoring and 25,000 miles and that was just selling it cash back to the dealer 2 months ago even with the new model out.

Hi Gibbo, couldn't agree with you more re. the Skoda. My Mum bought this year, a new Skoda Octavia elegance 2.0 TDi (the bigger bhp one). She test drove the standard diesel and it wasn't pokey enough for her. No problems whatsoever so far and I shared driving it to France and back in September. Excellent mpg return and quite a relaxed cruiser TBH. The hatch area is cavernous. As you say it's basically a VW with a cheaper price tag.

Cute little phones with a base station, 2 handsets with independent chargers & answerphone.
Lets you send & receive texts, so completely useless having a pair of them if you're Carlos.

Hi Viv,
I looked at that particular twin set, but in the end fell for this one:
Attachment 119609
Just about to set it all up and work out the SMS etc. Yeah, reckon your right about Carlos having them. He's kept quiet about that recently - all forgotten or ostrich syndrome.
