we went for an Octavia, SE 1.4 petrol. Only been a couple of journeys, but so far, very happy with it. Plenty of power and very practical for families, the boot is gigantic. The only thing we need to get used to is the different steering sensation. I think its electronic power steering, rather than hydraulic (?) and so there is less of a direct feel of the road and it's super sensitive to hand movement so it tends to be a little more wavy on motorways. Little one threw up in it on our first motorway outing. I'm really hoping it wasn't the driving /handling!

Probably demon possession. I wouldn't worry too much.

Sounds similar to the Renault Megane my mother in law has. I fucking hate driving it. Feels like the steering wheel does nothing for the first 1-2 degrees of turning then suddenly it turns too much, esp while cruising the motorway.

Fiat is electric, no idea about the VW.

is it petrol?
Just sold my car and looking to get a ULEZ friendly petrol estate for the #dadlyf, under 2.0 litre. Looking at Alfa 159, BMW 3, Skoda Octavia and Volvo v50/v70. Any advice is appreciated.
