Superb in many ways. Ride is in executive class and interior space and comfort is very good. Load capacity with seats up or down is huge with easy access. Great engine with 64 mpg solo and 35 mpg towing 1400kg caravan comfortably. Had issues with electronics in first year requiring a new battery according to the dealer service and that has been fine since. More seriously I was told at the 2 year service that I needed to replace the brake discs and pads as they were in bad condition. with only 11500 on the clock I thought this was probably upselling and had my local garage check them. They reported that the wheels were almost impossible to remove and that the brakes would need watching. Sure enough 3K later the front offside disc started to shed large amounts of scale and I had to spend £450 replacing all four. Still, £180 cheaper than the Skoda dealer quoted. Both these faults should have been re-calls rather than waiting to see if a garage picked the problems up at the customers expense. I really like the car but don't have a lot of confidence in Skoda's customer service or component quality
