Yeah, from reading it does sound like an excellent all-rounder.
Although there have been a few times we've needed something bigger, lack of kids and access to a 4 door golf, means there's no need. Plus living in Ldn and out of the UK mean there are only 20-something ks on my 6yr old mini. Until there's an imperative it seems silly to sell.
I've driven a golf with the 1.4tsi engine auto which you can get in the Octavia. I really liked that engine as sensible real world balance of tax/ parking permits / but still nippy for a chubby car.... although leagues away from noz powered Volvos :(
Also this recent estate chat has me wanting a 5 series gt (or a more realistic Octavia estate).
