Such a COOL COOL format! Very tempted to switch from the Formentor next year to an Octavia Combi, given that I’ll be ordering in Aug/Sept, just for the cool factor! Nothing else. It’s me and my golf clubs 😂
So many times over the decade when my family or needed another car iv almost… almost bought a Skoda Octavia RS TDI, genuinely. I know this is something I will regret into the future. I suppose "you cant drive them all".
Skoda do seem to be a bit better at style recently whereas VW (ID range especially) are a bit poop in the looks department 😉
Sad times! 😢
I love wagons! Unfortunately, the United States of America is the capital of the world in wagon hate. Nobody buys wagons here.
5L/100KM is savage,, wish my petrol car could sniff close to this
This car would be on my shopping list on colour alone. Love this green. 🙂
I got back into my golf 8 tdi after having a golf 8 150 ps tsi as a loaner for 3 days and I thought my car was broken. It was so loud and felt like someone had put sand or grit in rhe motor. Yuk. But i got used to it again, and it is much punchier and frugal. Had to change sensors 3 times now….
It's not that I don't like the Octavia but the reliability issues are so many these days that I just can't put my money in this brand anymore. I used to have 3 Skodas, all Combi until the dreadful 2016 model when each month I had to go to the dealer to fix a problem or another. Regarding the TDI, except the 1.9 TDI, the newer ones are just not that good and, if I was to get an Octavia, it would have been with a 1.5 TSI most likely, not the TDI.
Got one of these on the drive (2015 model vrs)… and an ID3. The ID3 is always first choice. But I do need to replace the Octy with an EV that has a bigger boot. The Octy is close to unbeatable for practicality in a car of its dimensions.
The best Taxi in the world ever. RIP ,TDI 😢
Nobby you are a star! I love this car I must admit. If it wasn't for the price and insurance group (24) it'd definitely be for me though price wise I will concede that a second hand demo model would be worth a look.
had 4 vrs cars , i did love them right from mk1 1800
which was one of the best , wheel spin on the front
is annoying as octavia is a longish car and when
you put you foot down at the lights all the weight goes
to the rear , on a shorter car not as bad say a golf ..
best skoda ive owned is superb sportline plus 276 ..
you cannot spin it , even in the wet , and at just over 5 seconds
its a great sleeper , its only 80kg or 100kg more than a vrs,
no its not as nimble on twists roads but its not bad though ….
and you think the octavia has a big boot ?
you never owned a superb ….ha ha
Loved my diesel VRS, I’ve moved on but still think about the Octavia, what a machine.
They should stick an extra tax on big SUVs ..that might encourage people back into estate cars , which are more practical. Keep up the great reviews.
Delighted with mine Mark! Where do I go after this 🤷🏻♂Not quite 5l/100km but maybe that's just first 2 weeks in sport mode!
Crying shame R. I. P. VRS Tdi
If they kill the tdi it's over for vag group
but… the facelifted version still keeps the engine in the RS right?
One problem! DPF…
We have one from new in 2017 not a combi but a hatchback and we love it just as much as the day we collected it. Ive upgraded our 2nd car on a couple of occasions but we cant part with the RS. Honestly think we could have it until it stops driving which will be never as they are bullet proof 😂
Hello Mark, not related ( except it’s Skoda) but can you say when you will be testing the new Skoda Superb. Waiting to see what you think of it before taking possible purchase further. Thanks
