Latest WHEELS magazine - Octavia RS as a used car buy

[K1W1]

I think that the last Wheels I purchased was probably in the early 1990's. Might have to go to the newsagent.

Darn it!!! Still haven't received my copy of Wheels.

Went to the newsagency today and they still had the March issue in

Went to Coles for some grocery shopping and saw the April edition and had a quick read of the review summary. Nothing much to say but good that its mainly positive feedback. Little pissed that I'm a subscriber and still haven't receive my copy yet and it not like my subscription has run out yet either!!! They usually email to advise if delivery is delayed but nothing this time around!!!

I used to subscribe to Motor but stopped for the same reason, that and the constant SS vs. Xr8, or HSV vs. FPV every month.

Man talk about being offensively late with subscription deliveries!!! Magazine was in Coles by 16th (Wed) and wife rang to tell me the magazine FINALLY arrived in the mail today 18th (Fri). What's going on with Wheels mag? Seems like I was getting emails advising of the lateness for several months and then all of a sudden no notice but offensively late? Not much point of a subscription really is there? Well apart from some minor savings $$ wise. Well looks like I only have 3 more issues to go til the end of my 24 month subscription.

I'm a subscriber too, and my original post was on the same day that I got my delivery (Sydney). Only 4 days difference between you and me, not bad considering you live in Northern Antartica.

I'm in Nunawading in metro Melb and I got my Wheels mag on Tuesday 15/3 - when we lived in Blackburn the next suburb across I always had delivery delays.

Liked the used car review on the Ocy RS but the negative comment about the spare tyre was a little harsh although it's not a matching alloy, it's a proper steel wheel and tyre from the base model Octavia - I don't think the 18inch alloy and tyre would fit in the spare wheel well. Good compromise.

Actually from memory it does, I think someone here found it was more just a cost saving.
