Firstly the 1.5, i'd test drive one if you haven't already, alot of people say it's a pretty underpowered in such a big car. Also real world MPG seems to be shockingly low, people saying low 30's, whereas I get mid 50's in my diesel
All years and engines seem to be plagued with gearbox issues, mechatronic unit failure, crops up on an almost daily basis on facebook, which results in a £1500 or so bill. General advice is do not own one without a warranty, if buying one and plan to have it past the 3 year warranty, buy the Skoda 'all-in' warranty.
Other than that, i think it's a great car
