A few things of note compared to the Skoda - it seems much more solid, better built, feels safer. Its a world apart really.
Brakes are amazing in comparison, much quieter cabin. Its smooth and easy to drive on my journey to work (28 miles country A road and Motorway) in normal mode - returning 60-70mpg this past couple of days. But had a blast round the winding roads and hills near home in sports mode and it was just excellent. Acceleration feels fantastic, turning into corners - it sticks to the road. Love the red led's that come on in Sports mode. Seats are very comfortable - again compared to the Skoda. Love the "CAR" display telling you all the stats and lots of the other gadgets. Steering wheel is great, and the feel of the steering especially in sports mode is brilliant. Huge deep boot.
Great to have DAB for 6 music and cricket on 5 Live SpXtra.
Its the light metallic blue colour - i really like the colour as well after having a black skoda for 6 years, and a black focus for 4 years before.
