Yeah the are the best looking of the VAG cars in my opinion and great value as well. I’m getting a 6 month old Leon SC FR Titanium in black, I’m really excited now!

Me: So there is this guy on the internet getting a new car.

Piglet: Okay

Me: And he’s getting a SEAT

Piglet: Nice, we’ll be like cousins

Me: He says they are the best looking of the VAG cars

Piglet: Really?

Me: Piglet, don’t get like that.

Piglet: Let me at him.

Nice one. I do like the three door Ibiza and Leon (just don’t tell Piglet).

Nice! I really like the Leon, my best friend almost bought/financed a 1.6 TDI Leon 5-door. Would love to have one.

Oh no I’ve offended Piglet!!!! lol

I was considering an Octavia VRs, I really love the front on the current Skoda’s but it has a bit too much junk in the trunk if you get my drift plus the Ocatvia’s dashboard reminds me a bit too much of a 2 generation ago Passat. The Superb (as you know) has a great interior so hopefully the face lift Octavia will be updated to match (I reserve judgment on the new front end until I see one in the flesh!!).

Yeah they are just such a good all round car, I can’t wait until I actually have it!

What engine does it have?

The 1.8tsi with (OMG hand back my Oppo membership!) DSG.

No bad combination. Nothing wrong about the DSG though, I don’t mind good automatic transmissions.

She’s a little pissed but she gets jealous easily. Lol.

The new (2017) Octavia front looks awful with it’s four headlamps.

The new Fabias look quite good but for small cars, I think SEAT has it.

Yeah the DSG is lovely to use, especially if you have flappy paddles, which mine has. The 1.8 is such a lovely smooth engine too, it seemed the best combination to me.

Thanks.

Nice! :D

Haven’t been off the NA landmass in quite a while now, easy to lose touch with the automotive variety available to those of us outside the U.S.S.A.

I will post some pics of the actual car when I get it and I suspect Oppo’s resident obsessive compulsive car detailer Svend will post some pics come spring when I let him loose on it for a 2 (yes 2) day full detail!
