Order book has closed on the Skoda Octavia - what now?

I'm looking for a new large family hatchback.

I'm considering a new Octavia, but the order book has closed for hatches in the UK.

There seem to be a few cars still available and the finance is attractive, does it make good sense to buy the last of the line or should I go for something else?

If so what do you recommend? My budget is about £17,000 and I'll probably keep it for 6 Years or more.

No sense at all unless at a mammoth discount. The best cars in this size and price range are KIA cee'ds and Hyundai i30s.
