I have just received delivery of my Type R GT (Friday evening) replacing my (black!) '06 Skoda Octavia vRS. After 13 months of trouble-free driving I have few negative points to make about the Octavia. Why?

- Good, comfortable drive
- Fabulous engine (same as Golf GTI and new Audi TT)
- Reliable
- Loads of space in cabin (quite a bit more than the Civic)
- Cavernous boot (which I will miss)
- VALUE FOR MONEY

What I won't miss:

- people looking down their nose at me (badge - until I thunder past them!)
- interior could be more applealing
- poor(ish) residuals

Can't think of anything else really...

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my new Civic but if you feel the Octavia is more suited to your needs, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Good luck!
