In essence, Skoda Octavia VRS with VW Golf GTI engine and gearbox in its original form, although there is now with the VRS 2.0-liter diesel VRS called 'Republic'. Fast, competent and not flash. It's a surprise that it's not more popular.
The Octavia is extremely good at going round corners. The steering is light and accurate but no great telegraph of road surface info, so if you only pootle you’ll wonder what the fuss is about. But turn up the wick and the chunky Skoda digs in and drags you through with the kind of verve that gets you grinning. It's not as sharp to steer as a Golf GTI but you can definitely feel the family genes: it’s agile, quicker to change direction than it initially feels and only dissolves into wishy-washy understeer if you’re particularly clumsy.

It is a Golf GTI in disguise, is not it? Well, yes. These are the dangers to the credibility of Skoda to join the VW group, even if the end of the Spanish Empire seemed to reach some sort of independent identity with the late Leon Cupra R. The only hope of street cred is hot if Skoda Octavia VRS The new machine is really good with his own personality and a unique mix of attributes.
There is a price £ 17.500 for the hatch, £ 18 200 for the estate, the less useful of course. Then there are the utility with the boot made possible by the enormous weight of the rearmost Octavia. It is there that think the VRS Skoda brand in the mixture to bring the family the ability to drive and fun. So trust is the czech auto-maker that provides for the sale in the UK at least, that 17 percent of future Octavia bear the deep front spoiler, 17-inch wheels, 12mm lower suspension, and brake calipers Green RSV.
It seems attractive to some kind of life burdened buyer, you must admit. And it's definitely smarter to spend less for an equivalent machine Golf and bask in your mind, maybe you share the thinking of independent thinkers alike. These dreams are made of marketing campaigns Skoda. Who wants to be a conformist anyway?
Do you suffer your sybaritically spending cuts. Quality within the Octavia is the same across the Golf, with lots of padded surfaces and some quadrants cleaned with blunt faces and delicate hands. The steering wheel feels good, the gear lever and clearly through its six gears (still scheduled for a DSG option), taking the silver and black comfortable seats. There is a headliner in black, too. Very GTI.
So far, so good. But the fact remains that a fall from a Skoda for "emotional" reasons, it is always a leap in the dark car culture, but Skoda has much of its history, including many sports car that the seat does not. It does not help that for all sports eye-up, including a new tailgate spoiler and some nice chrome tips, the Octavia is not a spectator. Impose face, yes, but it seems on the design of a child with such fixtures of thickness and location grumpy.
But then, is it not better to show off your car's dynamic presence. The fact is that RSV is a fine player, smooth and its engine and revvy bright and full of torque turbo beautiful without the usual drawbacks of turbo lag and smooth throttle response. Thanks for the DI of a high compression ratio possible. It seems clear, too, but the note is never intrusive.
Like the Golf GTI, then. The same applies to the gas processing, executive function, but ultimately infallible, and management, well balanced and accurate way to get a pedal assistance system. The brakes are progressive and without tears, and as the VRS Golf has a tower that manages to be both strict and consistent. We had a terrible time throwing along the main streets of country czech Skoda surfaces such as the British.
This car could be the answer to the multiple needs of a car.
