New car that we're picking up next Saturday.

I don't really need a car day to day so it's mostly my wife's to replace the Nissan Leaf but it'll be great to have something that'll do a few more miles so we don't need to take the campervan for any longer trips. Absolutely loved it on the test drive, bags of power and compared to the Leaf it feels like a fucking spaceship.

You didn’t trade in the leaf? Power move.

They were offering less than we buy any car so worth punting it on autotrader for a bit then just taking the wbac price if it doesn't go.

Just signed up for the salary sacrifice scheme for a car.

Ordered this subtle car..

I really wanted another Octavia hybrid, but Skoda are not doing this option for a while.

That looks rad - I like the colour and the black accents.

I nearly got the RS but I didn't really offer anything over the Sportline besides the green paint - and that very nearly swung it in the end.

I like the colour from a safety perspective. It always bothers me how silver cars just vanish in heavy rain, fog, snow, etc. This is the safety vest of cars.

Yes it was the green paint that swung it, as I really like the colour on my Octavia.. It is no different than the sportline really. I think it gets a slight power boost.

In the safety green car? I’d say if they didn’t see that then they maybe need to have their eyes reassessed.

I think you need a safety car jingle to play whilst you’re riding around.

You wouldn’t hear it over the colour.

It does indeed, which will get it to 62mph 0.2 seconds faster ;)

It's still the most powerful production Skoda they've ever made, though.
