I think a full refill will be about £25 and a full tank will do about 9k miles so insignificant cost really.
Only criticism I have of my car is it is too powerful. Should have gone for 4 wheel drive to get the power down. Hard acceleration can often kick in the traction control with front wheel drive only.
People on the skoda forum seem to rate the 1.4 petrol engine so may be worth investigating further.
Carwow got nowhere near the broker price I paid for mine btw. Worth looking online to see what brokers offer. Car came from a UK dealer and was normal UK spec just a lot cheaper!

Someone once commented that you could crack the existing radio code by putting the radio in the freezer. Never tried myself though .

Currently at the dealer whilst they debate obvious crankcase compression/ lack of crankcase ventilation. I'm not buying unless they fix it.
