New Octy RS Estate review

KentStu · 20-01-2006, 16:11

Yahoo review of the new Octy RS estate is now out. Try here

Not sure i've seen one of these before, but my feeling is that these make quite a bit of sense as there isn't much else in the estate world at the same price & performance.

Looks and sounds good

I always thought the Mk1 looked better as an estate and this is definitely the case with the Mk2 as well.

I wouldn't have one in red though!

BTW don't live far from you!

yep its in the auto express magazine this week!

fredw · 20-01-2006, 18:28

Also no. 1 in the January Autocar review of estate cars.

sixdegrees · 20-01-2006, 20:03

The Saloon was reviewed in the Motoring section of Todays Scotsman, and gets a very good review as well!

I've yet to read a less then generous review so far........... all the more reason to pop along to Skoda delaer and have a TD !

Dealer was saying to me they may also do a TDi version of the vRS.
I assume this would have a 2.0 170bhp or a 2.5 V6 tuned up in it.

Anyone heard anything about this

Conor M · 20-01-2006, 21:21

heard that 2 170bhp tdi from dealer last week.

Johnnyc · 21-01-2006, 00:42

Glowing report in this weeks Autoexpress as well!

The vRS owns the front page (and the second, too) of the motoring section in The Daily Tel. today. The Headline is "Best Buy", subtitled ".......and yet another brilliant bargain from the Czechs". Tony Dron (lots of cred. there) has written a pretty fulsome review. Enjoy.

Johnnyc · 21-01-2006, 22:25

Makes you feel proud to be Skoda driver! Not that I wasn't before of course.

andy2407 · 21-01-2006, 23:29

The autoexpress review gave it the full 5 stars!

L-Y-K · 21-01-2006, 23:39

got hold of the review last night, he did appear to like it

golfturbo · 23-01-2006, 14:42

It does make you proud and ore and more people are beginning to appreciate the brand....

lozgti · 23-01-2006, 16:50

It is really nice.Some people think £18.5 k is cheap.I would spend it on an used Audi A4 Avant though
