had mine 3/4 months now, sold my 2.0 slow to get one and this is just amazing compared to that. The torque and grunt you get for overtaking comes in very handy  :smiley:

I got a 130PD as I heard the 150's suffer from probs more often.

I got mine mapped and it much quicker than a mates Leon Cupra..

MPG is v good and apart from wear/tear bushes clutch and a new sump, mine has been nice to me and despite these probs, never once not started and moved!

Ive got the 115bhp model, which is also suprisngly quick, much nicer to drive around town than my 1.8t octavia vrs was. Id go for the 130 if i were you. :evil:

Got a 150 PD which I am really happy with not had many issues other than clutch and bushes as others have said.

The misses went to Ikea at the weekend clicked the cruise control on at 56mph average fuel cosumption was 64.4mpg!!!!! I drove back at 80mph most of the way and still managed to get 53mpg. It averages about 45mpg round town which is not bad for a car that does 0-60 in less than 9 seconds :).

I really don't think you will be disappointed especially if you get a remap.
