Octavia Scout - anyone seen one?

KJB · 01-05-2007, 19:59

Its all gone very quiet. Thought this model would be available in UK by now. Does anyone have any news ?

mdk1 · 01-05-2007, 20:13

Saw one at my local dealer 3 weeks ago, went back last week to have a closer look and it had been picked up by Skoda.

Seen one at my dealer too. That disappeared due to short initial stocks in the UK when I asked for a peek.

There was a black one on the forecourt of Winchester Skoda this afternoon

Oops! I'm too tired - I was writing about the Roomster.

"Had one as a courtesy car when my Octavia was in for a service. Not really my kind of car anyway, but I wasn't impressed at all. Interior build was rather poor and it rattled like crazy!"

The was one at the Scottish Motorfair at Knockhill this weekend. Like the one above it was silver and looked good. Seats were a slightly bolstered design, but not as bolstered as the vRS.

Pity the fuel figures take such a hit over the comparable vRS. I was thinking about one, but will either go for a vRS or a Freelander if I need the 4x4.

I was told by Wings (Peterborough) that the official UK release date is 17/5/07 so I expect to see one there this week!

meskodasgone · 21-05-2007, 20:22

They've got one at Claybank. Saw it with my own two eyes I did. Looks Ok but no great shakes inside compared to the vRS.

lfc958 · 21-05-2007, 20:47

I saw one at my local dealer on Fabia launch day it arrived that day .

Just looked odd, with the plastic wrap around , and the grab handle in front of the passenger.

mdk1 · 22-05-2007, 16:38

Yep my dealer has one in again, will try and get a test drive soon.
