I do like these cars, but its nice to know that I can still leave them standing...not particularly surprising I hear you say... BUT I did have a Dishwasher, Cooker, Hob and extractor fan all in the boot! :jaw: Practical and fast, does it get much better than this ??
Octavia is an excellent car - full leather, climate control, alarm, remote central locking, 17" loys 300mm discs, ABS, EBD, ASR, x4 electric windows, electric mirrors, multiple airbags etc etc. 1.8t producing 180hp.
All this for £15k on the road, although the new shape is out so you can get a bargin for like £13k on the road
I have to say I really like the octavia RS, a great car with an understated reputation - its a bit volvoesque to me! x
Oh yeah, full respect to them. I nearly had one myself when looking down the company car route....they look great as well! But where would I put the kitchen appliances ?? Yeah, baby

They need to be shown much respect around here as they are the under cover traffic cops weapon of choice :(

A was just rolling up the sleeves there thinking "the big yin" was getting abused lol Yeah Skoda is not a mark thats laughed at these days, very nice cars
sure they are part of vag as are seat etc...but they still suffer from a terrible pre-conceived negative bias by the general (uneducated) public..the more fabia vrs's and octavia vrs's that turn other, more mainstream performance cars, inside out on the public roads, the better, i say. having said that, owning a well kept performance car secret can be a hoot, as you all know already, as fully paid up members of the t5 appreciation society!!

OK, I'm stupid! Forgot they did an estate!
Yeah, agree with you all, its a great car. Don't you think they look good as well ? If they had even more go, I would seriously consider one.
Love the analogy to Billy Connolly!!
I don't think so many people laugh at Skoda's these days as the Octavia and Fabia RS have definately changed people's opinions....the smart man's VW just as the Lexus is the smart man's BMW ( Alan Partridge quote! )
