I know.....life is getting so difficult.  Actually I'm just jealous coz it hasn't got quite enough range to commute with.  Another 10-15 miles and I would very seriously consider one. :cry1: :cry1:

But then again you may be right.  I am looking at buying a cheap Audi....a Skoda Superb Combi. :-[

Must be all this exposure to 535dboy that's done it.  The horror.  Must go and have a lie down... :doctor:

I promise to try and be nicer. :xmaskiss:

Ive noticed 535d being quite polite and courteous on the Leaf owners forum  :P

Wonder how long that will last for, also not sure what sort of humour EV owners have! He will definitely offend over there no doubt...

I had three of the Mk1 Octavias between '98 and '05 and they were by a massive distance the most reliable cars I have ever owned, hence looking again.  The earliest one was a bit basic but the last one was the L&K trim and was the only non-VAG UK owned one with satnav and memory seats.  You get a lot of car for the money and given it's pretty much all VW/Audi tech, it should be reliable.

Some still look back at the old Rapides and Estelle's and shudder in horror (self included), but those days are long gone.
