11k would get you you a very nice Octavia vRS (presuming your not a badge snob). Very tunable and very good fun plus leather and air con. And a lot of car for the money. New and on the road - ?15,750 BARGIN! I was considering one for my work car.

Good luck

I am not a badge snob these days. When I had the A3, I went to Skoda Twickenham as I had booked a test drive in the vRS. I was embarresed when I parked the Audi up and went in the showroom. I quietly said I would like to take one out and he gave me the keys and off I went. Once inside these cars you have nothing Skoda about them. Its all VW/AUDI. The only thing that I don't like about them it the design of the badge. They deperatly need to reinvent that design. It is ugly, to say the least.

Took it on to the A4 in Brentford and let it have it, very responsive and and very quick. Felt comfortable and loved being redlined. Round corners a little movement on the rear but satisfactry.

IMO a very good car for the money. Might try to get a Fabia out and give that a thrash! 8)

Anyway, go for it................. book a test drive and I will be confident you will be pleased with the ride.

I agree with Martz, the octavia with the tt lump is the way forward..

loads of potential to chip / tune upgrade etc but with vw/audi build quality and all the mod cons....

and even for badge snobs, there must be somehting really satisfying in leaving people standing in a skoda..... ;D

Does the Skoda have the 4 wheel drive system too? If so then i must say I'd be tempted ....
