I posted asking about JCW mini and Fiesta with a baby - and the more I try to be realistic the more I think something larger is needed now we have a 3 wk old fart-monster.
I'm after something fun/quick as I used to have a M135i (which was stolen), so 6ish sec 0-60. I'm put off BMW/Audi/Merc as I'm concerned about another break-in/burglary, and equally anything obviously "hot".
I do a bit of mountain biking, so need a hatch instead of a usual saloon small "flap", but I'm happy whipping off the wheels to fit into a hatchback, so i don't need an estate.
So... I was looking at an Octavia VRS saloon... moderately quick-ish, easy boot entry and sleeper/not overly inviting trouble (especially with the vrs logos removed). Probably looking at a 20k ish budget, so a 12-18 month old one. What's the main differences with the 230 vs 245 and are there known issues to look out for?
Or, have I missed another sleeper with a easy access boot?
