I love my Octavia, for much the same reasons. Just a smaller Superb, or a Superb is a bigger Octavia (not sure which) :)

I am gutted to be handing min back and was tempted to buy it at £22k, but the finance does not make sense when I can get a salary sacrifice car through work..

Have you found the secret ice scraper yet?

Yeah, I had an EV charger fitted last week (with the landlord's permission)

Ohhhhh, no. I'll have to have a look for this and see if I can find it. I'm going to try and do it without looking it up.

Given it's a used car, it's possible that it was lost/taken by a previous owner (although, as the brollies were still there I'd expect the scraper to be somewhere too), or it might not find it due to poor searching skills. I shall report back!

That's a pretty big hint Kov

I haven't had to fill it up yet (in fact, I've barely driven it).

How about the removable light in the boot you can use as a torch? The Velcro braces in the boot you can stop stuff sliding about with. The false boot floor you can pull toward you slightly and drop the boot floor an extra 3-4”
