Porsche is going to use it for the new 4 pot Macan :)

Good!

I heard about the Mecan.

And that Golf R 4000 car will keep the engine and they just tune it!

:)

I just enquired about APRing the Octavia. Want to know prices and if/ how it might or won't void my warranty

So this is definitely the one to get if you're looking at a diesel.

Excellent - definitely on the shortlist :)

Had an Octavia Elegance Wagon (Tech Pack, Alaris wheels, power tailgate) 132 TSI for a week now and very, very impressed. We also have a current model 2.0L TSI 147 Highline Jetta in the family (also EA888 ), and if anything the 1.8 in the Skoda is smoother and has more pep than the 2.0 in the Jetta. I can only imagine how good the RS 2.0L unit is. The 7 speed DSG in the Octavia is definitely better than the 6 speed DSG in the Jetta (less laggy, and changes up and down faster in and out of corners).

What wheels are those? And what size? Wonder if they'll look better than the stock RS wheels i'm getting

Also I've seen the Octavia RS ad running on the Discovery channel and even on 9 (during 60mins apparently)

And on 7mate! Looks like Skoda has an actual ad budget

They are a NCO on the Elegance - I prefer either to the standard RS wheels myself...

Yep, saw the RS Skoda ads on the TV last night. ONe thing i noticed on the ad and also now in the pics above....what's the little rectangular shape thingy in the bottom central part of the grill (just under the number plate)? Is that the adaptive cruise control sensor?

Yup, same as on the Golf 7
