True but I understand (from a friend who drives one) that the Greenline has a lower and firmer suspension than the Elegance.
Ride is a personal thing so the OP needs to drive them both.0 -

It also has skinny tyres, the Elegance has 205mm width the Greenline has 185mm width low friction .You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! I’ll tickle your catastrophe (Henry IV part 2)0 -
I went to look at one of these the other day 0% finance with a nil deposit on a new shape (been out 4months) they supposedly do 70mpg!

I like the look of the new ones but think they're a bit too big. Closer to Mondeo size than Focus.Mortgage remaining: £42,260 of £77,000 (2.59% til 03/18 - 2.09% til 03/23)

there is nothing wrong with a bag car so long as it does the fuel economy, it has parking sensors too :staradmin Competition wins! :starmod:

If you want an efficient Skoda but don't need the size, buy a Fabia with the same engine. Provided you can put up with the looks, I think they're ugly.there is nothing wrong with a bag car so long as it does the fuel economy, it has parking sensors too
Don't whatever you do count on getting the quoted mpg though!0 -
Why should smaller wheels be less comfortable, I'd have thought the opposite? A folding bike with little wheels is certainly less comfortable than a normal bike with big wheels.No way, the 15" steels of the Greenline with smaller tyres will be far more comfortable, cheaper and the suspension is the same on both cars.0 -

Haven't seen it in the flesh but it hasn't received the same sort of glowing reviews that the last Octavia did - I'd check it out though
Looks really dreary inside compared to Octavia and most reviewers called the latter boring!
It's also not meant to have particularly good ride quality or sound insulation if I remember right.Mortgage remaining: £42,260 of £77,000 (2.59% til 03/18 - 2.09% til 03/23)
