Pretty quick as well
Only thing that put us off was that for the 1st time ever Skoda have about a 4 month waiting list.
Guy in the showroom says the sales have rocketed through the roof this year.
Not only that, most of the dealers in the west mids have waiting lists for second hand ones too
I just picked up a june 06 on with <30k miles on it and i'm very impressed at what a great specced, economical, practical and quick-ish daily drive it is. Bit of a 'stigma' attached to them, usually by folk who have never actually seen one. EVERYONE who's been in mine has got in and gone...oooh, nice spec, its like a posh golf
