Saturday 15th
We'd had a surprise (to me) visit to Costco, in Leeds, as I drove back along Low Road, through Hunslet, towards Thwaite Gate
As a certain vehicle had been commented on as we passed DM Keith, I turned into the forecourt, as we'd spotted an Enyaq vRS, when we passed, in that luminous green
I'd expected to be told to just carry on, & drive through, but no 'senior management' told me to stop, all 4 of us got out, & she went in!
She had a look at an Enyaq (with a 'normal' body)
Then I saw it................... a Superb (SE L, I think) estate in 'petrol blue', & it was a (2.0Tdi) diesel!!!
That's the colour, I still look at whenever I see a Kodiaq/Octavia/Superb in it
Sadly, it was an automatic
Curiously, it had no 'flappy-paddles', how does that work for manual gear-selection???
It was the standard front-driver, I could order a 4x4, but.......... it'd be almost £40,000, as it's only available, with the higher specs!
BUT.............
once again, SWMBO wants me to replace mine with an automatic, again.............
I guess it's still my fault for wanting a manual, when I bought it, back in May 2021?
I did tell her not to buy the Q3, as it was a 2.0 petrol, & would be uneconomical, rather belatedly, she's realising that
(not that I can say that?!
So, her plan is to sell that, get a small runaround (she does like Fabias!!), & replace mine
He did show us an auto Kodiaq outside;

It turned out that, that one was sold, but we could have a look at it
However, with it being a sporty(!?!) model, it was also on silly '50' profile tyres, too low for my liking!!)
He looked at group stock, & there's a similar model, at the Wakefield branch;

That's got a fancy LED instrument panel, but again, on silly 20" wheels & '45' profile (?) tyres
SWMBO's on about going to look at the one at Wakefield tomorrow.............
What should I do?
The other options are;
1. Look at a XC60? (XC90's are too expensive)
2. Keep mine a bit longer, & hope she changes her mind again
3. Look at electric Enyaq (probably not the
fugly coupe)
