Me too !

When is it released here?

I'm in half a mind to cancel my search for an A3 in anticipation of one of these!

Dr Zoidberg · 13-02-2007, 11:42

Available to order in April according to the website.

How much do you reckon a 9 month old Elegance TDI is worth as a trade in

Goochie · 13-02-2007, 11:54

Hmmm. wonder when a test car will be available.

octaviarsman · 13-02-2007, 12:17

YUK - reminds me of one of those Rover 25 streetwise's they brought out.

Not my bag

Sporky McGuffin · 13-02-2007, 12:51

I like it. The plastic bits aren't as overbearing as the street-whatsit or the XC-70 (hideous thing, that) or even the Allroad.

Know what you mean - but at least the Octy has 4wd...unlike that Rover.

vRS, L&K or Scout??????????????????????????

There's too much choice!

bahnstormer vrs · 14-02-2007, 10:09

Looks GOOD and certainly MUCH better than an Allroad or XC-90. Unlikely to be seen in 'Chelsea Tractor' mode but will be a great buy where the 4 x 4 is required.

It comes out much better in the Red as opposed to the Silver. The bold colour provides a contrast to the dark grey bumpers etc whereas the silver blends too much.

Personal taste of course.

Not sure about the large grab handle under the glove box - it's not as if you need to pull yourself in...

Ants · 23-02-2007, 12:03

I've just come back form the Czech Rep, and having driven this car on and off road, I am pleased to say that I'm more impressed than I thought I would be, it's fantastic.

bahnstormer vrs · 23-02-2007, 12:09

Red - Dark Grey contrast looks good.

cokey · 23-02-2007, 17:47

The Scout is featured on the Skoda website along with a video of the car in action.

pixi · 25-02-2007, 16:44

There was a piece about it in the paper today which caught my eye. I think I like it, and I'm sure Mr P will love it. Anyone know when Dealers are expecting a demo?

dstev2000 · 25-02-2007, 16:51

I think the Skoda scouts are going to do pretty well, the Roomster scout is a very nice looking car IMO and the Octavia scout is very well specced, should be a winner.

Once they do the Octy scout in L&K spec i'll have one

**mannyo** · 25-02-2007, 16:56

Looks good, but it really needs a double exit exhaust. Looks kind of weird with that blank on one side and the exhaust on the other.

dstev2000 · 25-02-2007, 17:02

Similar 'zorsts to the Audi Allroad, maybe the powers that be have said no to that one.

You could always do a "Shifty"

WW_VRS · 25-02-2007, 18:40

Wonder if it could be tuned

Ants, can you be a bit more specific? How did it ride and handle on tarmac? That ride height would suggest lots of body roll and a bouncy ride...but presumably not?
