I really like the way the Octavia VRS looks - it's the perfect sleeper.  If I had any need at all for that kind of space, I'd definitely be considering one.

I actually like this more than the golf GTI. Don't judge me,

I hear very often that the dashboard in skoda, VW, Audi (...) looks boring and not very exciting but I have to say that I prefer the minimalistic design more than some childish new funky design from some other companies only because the want to try something new.

This is a car I find really difficult to ignore.

NICE!!!

Because of your reviews and after searching on the difference website,
I had ordered1 in white looking forward to it in February:-)

I just returned from UK trip renting Octavia for 6 days. Was diesel with 5 sp manual. Was very impressed with the handling, power & spaciousness. A great car that would be great for US market. I also got 46 mpg with mostly highway driving. Fantastic for larger car - 2 people with luggage. Loved it!

Can proudly say I own the original of this car and after 11 years and 135k miles it still puts a smile on my face :) good job skoda but this new one doesn't give the same sort of acceleration as the mk1, it is very smooth yet quick but my 2002 model is aggressive and you can feel the turbo kick in and hear it which just adds to the effect even though it's not as quick, I still love it!

Outstanding motor, ignore the badge and you have yourself a cracking car.

Hi Laszio, over here it's called the Skoda vRS, as Ford owns the right to the RS nameplate in the UK. Thanks for flagging it though!

I AM actually thinking about buying a octavia vrs but I be making it loud and fast and stylish.

[vmigliusas]

i got one and its bloody amazing car, quality build ..

I'm loving my VRS 2.0L Petrol Manual. Wolf in sheeps clothing is a bit unfair. It's stylish, spacious and quick. Not the most economical car on the road, but, damn good fun to drive. I test drove the DSG, but I prefer a more 'intimate' control of the vehicle.

VW can´t allow Skoda to use V6 from Superb, because VW gets beaten in almost every part in Golf vs. Octavia battle. Even when VW tries to limit Skoda, they still do better cars than VW

[dgurevich]

The vrs isn't sold in my country sadly.
I did see one. Congratulated the driver on his machine.
he said I was the first one to recognize the model.

The most perfect family car. The wife won't even notice it's a fast one :-)

I use  a Skoda Octavia diesel estate at work and its a great car. Its an 08 plate and it has just done over 130`, 00miles and it drives as good as new. Its never broken down and its great, but just a bit bland. I have noticed with the new Skoda`s they have twin exhaust tail pipes. However they are jus a round rusty pipe sticking into a chrome trim which is part of the rear bumper, which looks an absolute dog! Needless to say I have gone off track!! Whilst this VRS looks and performs great it still has the same exhaust tail pipe problems!!

i own VRS on 09 plate. and its a diesel. 170bhp 325ft torque. very nice everyday car. but it is boring. could be because i also own clio200cup. the octavia returns 46mpg. and thats urban/motorway/and driving it quickly. be careful of sun damage with the paint work if buying used. especially on spoilers. both fabia and octavia are known for it. not that we have much sun [ uk] but the last hot day we had. my spoiler also started to blister. and know looks a mess. done 35k in mine.

The thing I find with skoda, the front of the car looks awesome but they seems to forget about the rear, theres no imagination with the design at the rear
