Despite writing to Marketing Director Skoda UK (no reply), and Managing Director VW UK, although staff spoken to were helpful, the best offer was for me to drive 140 miles for a test drive. I declined.

When talking to employee at VW Executives Office I explained my main concern was that Senior Executives be made aware that a lack of petrol demonstrators meant Skoda must be losing sales and annoying customers at a time when they should be doing their best to win new buyers. The reply suggested this was unlikely to happen.
