Hi all-I'm a recent convert to VAG products with the purchase of a Skoda. I have to admit I would never have even thought about a Skoda (I remember the 70's and 80's) and I was looking for a small wagon along the lines of a Peugeot 307, Mazda 6 etc when I stumbled on a yellow 2007 Octavia RS wagon. I ignored it for a while (because of the badge and it was a little more than my budget) but kept coming back. I did some research and couldn't find any article anywhere where someone found any major problem-most journos spoke very highly of it. I decided to have a test drive and was hooked. I decided the budget could be stretched. The car was a bargain-to me at least.
That was a month ago and I still haven't got it due to issues with finance. That's all now sorted and I should be picking it up Tuesday. I am planning a drive to Ballarat to try it out! I'll do a proper post with a bit more about the car and my early impressions in the Skoda thread next week.
