I’m going to get my head down for a few hours before I get up and give Sandy her first wash (proper wash, not that dealership crap).

Hey P ip B ip, thanks for helping decide what to call the new girl.

Ooh i missed the post bout Sandy. She looks very nice! I like bigly wagons. Congrats :)

Any particular reason why you stuck with Skoda? And why did you replace the Piglet? Sorry if you answered it on the other post, tell me if you did I'll go look there.

Thanks.

The Skoda makes so much sense,

Here’s what CarBuyer had to say about the Skoda Superb estate.

https://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/skoda/superb/estate/review

The Skoda Superb is the flagship car in the Czech manufacturer’s line-up and one of our favourites. With a stretched roof, the Estate version is arguably even more attractive and desirable than the hatchback , plus it has an enormous boot.

In terms of pricing, the Superb squares up against the Ford Mondeo Estate , Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer and Volkswagen Passat Estate , but the Skoda is actually quite a bit more spacious. It also has more luggage space than much pricier models like the BMW 5 Series Touring and Mercedes E-Class Estate , with interior quality that’s hardly put to shame either. With less emphasis on performance, the Superb’s engines are smaller, but it’s still good to drive.

Drivers who travel less than 12,000 miles a year are likely to find a strong case for a petrol engine. The range starts with a 1.4-litre, which is at its most economical with 148bhp, returning up to 54.3mpg and emitting 121g/km, for a 23% BiK band.

While it can’t offer the sporting edge of a BMW 3 Series Touring, the Superb Estate is still enjoyable and satisfying to drive, with a well planted feel and excellent ride quality. Noise is particularly well suppressed, with hardly any thunks or thuds from the suspension and very little wind noise, even at 70mph, which only adds to passengers’ comfort in the well appointed interior.

The Skoda Superb finished first out of the 75 cars ranked in our 2017 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey of cars currently on sale in the UK.

As an overall package, the Superb is not just big, but big on all those vital factors of value, economy and safety that a family car really needs.

I totally agree with all of this.

Piglet was coming up three years old and time for a change.

The difference from Piglet to Sandy is actually quite a bit larger than I was expecting (mostly the entertainment system) , Kessy system now standard for the spec , blindspot monitoring, etc...

Better pics from an hour or so ago.
