New job, Company car, Its horrid!!!
Just started a new job which is a mobile role so involves having a company car.. I was worried how the Zt would feel compared to a newish car, shouldn't of worried! A Skoda Octavia 62 plate that I dislike....
Its Horrid, only temporary as I get a brand new Honda Civic next month. But it feels cheap and tacky, gutless (diesel, but NO torque unlike the ZT!), handles bad, poor trim, poor comfort and generally bad! Who said modern Skodas were good??? It actually looks far more dated on the drive next to the ZT too.... Just goes to show how good our cars are!

Really unusual as most vag engines have more torque than the 75!

I have the Octavia as a company car, going to be really sad to see it go in around 3 months time as the lease is up. Great fun, holds the road beautifully and looks the part. Having said that it is the VRS, sports interior with bucket seats, sitting on the 18's and full body kit.
They are replacing it with the golf hybrid £33k worth of motor, kitted out with GTI body kit and everything you can think of inside. 200bhp yet still not sure I will enjoy it as much as the VRS...

As a company car it actually works out cheaper for me than the VRS.
VRS costs me 19% of the cost (21k) as opposed to 5% for the golf (33k) due to it being hybrid
