Have had a number of 405 and 406 models, this car is the nicest -easy to drive , economical ( around 50 to the gallon, brim to brim test) and comfortable. I drive about Northumberland quite nicely, quiet engine and smooth ride. My partner has a 2003 Octavia diesel which also gets around 50 mpg, but is a noisier engine and a bouncier , more 'sporty ride', which does not suit me.
Last year I managed to get precisely 900 miles out of one tank of fuel, driving ridiculuosly carefully of course.
