|  Saloon or estate Hello I'm just about to take the plunge and order my first Octavia. I've decided to go for the 1.9tdi elegance in stone grey, but can't decide whether to go for the saloon or pay the extra for the estate. I'm really split 50/50. I've also decided to add the multifunction wheel/maxidot and heated seats to the options list. I've never experienced heated seats before, are they any good, they seem quite cheap at 150 quid. Thanks for any comments. |

| Can't say anything else apart from damn good choice can I, Mine's an older version 1.9tdi pd in stone grey and a hatch....but I do miss my estate as it was easier to park and I think it handled better as well

| d'oh, forgot to say why  i personally think it looks better, has excellent capacity in the back, better vision out the back, and water doesn't spill in the boot when it rains!

| Estate every time for greater flexibility when carrying bulky items - plus the other advantages listed above.
