Octavia RS wagon too cheap?!?

[GeeMatt]

Read the article today. This was the decision that I had to make/made. From Liberty 3.0RB to Octy vRS.
I looked at the same cars (amongst others)
vRS was my choice and I don't regret it. It's definitely a different drive to the Liberty and I would say it is a more refined drive with more poke than the 6 cyl Subie and less fuel consumption.
I reckon I made a good choice !

Article is pretty flimsy, I didn't read it the way you guys seem to have, in that the requester was asking for around 60k mark, not the journo. Journo was suggesting that he wouldn't be spending the 60k (Although he got the std equip vs options statement wrong !)

In the comments section someone had mentioned adding the Mazda 6 Wagon, to which the buyer "David Baden-Powell" advises it's underpowered and no AWD. Correct - and the Octavia RS is not AWD either - exactly how did this chap come up with his shortlist?

With a name like that he should be looking at a SCOUT ROFL
