Volkswagen Golf or Skoda Octavia?

I am looking at upgrading my car to a one or two-year-old Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI Highline or a Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI Elegance. There is as you know a price difference, but which would be the better buy? Should I look at something else?

When did Renault begin charging extra for white?

When did Renault begin charging extra for white?

Late in September I ordered a new Renault Clio for delivery at the beginning of this month. In early October I changed the colour to white, which was not a problem to the dealer. I was informed last week that it would not be available until the end of this month. Since then I've seen on the Renault website that they are now charging €540 extra for a white Clio, whereas when I placed my order the extra charge did not apply to white. However, as my original order was for a colour that carried the extra charge I would not be surprised if the dealer tried to hit me for this extra and consequently am wondering when precisely Renault introduced it.

Thanks, E K Dublin
