Although it's an '18 MY Octavia vRS 245. Similar spec to a Golf GTI Performance Pack (fancy VAQ diff etc). Reasonably brisk, yet can get close to 40mpg on a run. Leased for £151 per month for two years with a £2,400 deposit. This is my second Octavia and I haven't had an ounce of bother with either in 50,000 odd miles. The fixed price servicing is fairly reasonable to boot. You are welcome to come and take a look/ride if you are ever passing through NW6.
I still have the W115 Mercedes, ITB MX-5 and V8 Range Rover Classic too. It's actually a surprisingly economical fleet to run. Not being dependent on them for daily transport means a sensible approach can be taken to maintenance and there should not be any depreciation to worry about.
