The Skoda is a good reliable choice, though Hampshire have been using vRS estates as TPT cars for a few years already, and at least from 2008.
I would imagine Skoda will do them an even better deal now that the Octavia is due for replacement...

I wonder if the bobby still gets stick for what happened to this one... I imagine the answer will be a resounding "Yes".

Bloody ridiculous!

The political issues were due to Hants using Volvos in the '60s - they were the first UK police force to use foreign patrol cars.
