Summary
What does this car say about you?
Says I'm canny about choosing a car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love it, get inside and they think they are in a Merc or a BMW.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, because of its reliablity and comfort.
What are you likely to buy next?
Not sure, but a pre-requisite is that it must have a full sized spare, I loathe these cars with space savers or gunge fill repair kits.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives beautifully, a real cruising car, mile after mile of comfortable and reliable driving.
What's it like to park?
Easy for such a big car, and if needed it has a self parking feature that will parrallel park the car for you in a space just big enough to take it.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Wiper stopped working due to a broken wire (hard to diagnose and expensive fix), Xenon bulb blew (rxpensive fix), steering lights stopped working but I'll not fix them as I never liked them.Horrendous flaking of alloy wheels, even only at year old. Skoda were not interested in replacing them under warranty, got so bad I took the alloys off and put steel rims on. I'll refurbish the alloys before I sell the car on.
What's most practical about your car?
Its cavernous boot, huge rear leg room, reasonable MPG.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sat-nav...standard on this car.
