Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I brought this in anticipation of the birth of our first child to have something both bigger and more reliable. So far over the first year it hasn't let me down. LOADS of room, no rattles, very comfortable, feels very German but at lower cost! I can only imagine I will be very satisfied with this for the next few years at least. Only minor complaint is the 1.9 is slightly underpowered for my taste, but for a loud engine, the power delivery is smooth and the surge once the turbo kicks in is a very pleasant feeling. More than enough for every day motoring and this won;t be my last Skoda!

How reliable do you find the car?

Have had a minor issue with weather - selas but this is probably easily fixable. Alignment out after a year of ownership but this is due to british roads probably

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

For the money I paid, this car is everything I need and more. It drives well, it is practical with loads of room, has the toys, is easy to maneuver. Brilliant buy
