| My lovelly Octavia Elegance Hi all, Today I became the proud owner of a 2007 Octavia Elegance 1.9TDI DSG. My thanks to Jewsons Skoda, Oxford and to Warren the salesman who agreed a keen price and didn't push too much. Been driving today to get used to it. This is my first automatic. Wow, such a comfortable drive and so easy. Got to drive my old manual car down to my daughter on Tuesday (120 miles) which I'm not looking forward to.  But I have a long trip to Pembrokeshire also next week in the Octavia. Colin

| Re: My lovelly Octavia Elegance Tidy motor - almost identical to my flamenco red one. You might not be interested, but it was dead easy to fit front mudflaps, which are only about £16 from Skoda spares suppliers. They are held on by 4 torx screws on each side and are good for stopping salt stones and mud battering the sills. I also fitted some Osram Nightbreaker H1 main beams, although the reviews now say Philips Extreme are better. Good improvement over the original bulbs. Anyway - enjoy your car - a great choice.

| Re: My lovelly Octavia Elegance Nice one! Had mine around a month now and enjoyed best part of 2000 miles so far. It is a very easy drive and I've found the cruise control a real godsend (I do most of my mileage on motorways). Definitely an RTFM vehicle though, lots of hidden toys

| Re: My lovelly Octavia Elegance For Philips Extreme that's about par for the course - you might do a bit better shopping around.
