I'm not a family man, but I really like the skoda since you can put anything in it, I guess if you're a fan of Ikea you'll love the RS. Also I really appreciate the extra equipment that you just can't get on the Golf (Discover Pro, KESSY, Premium Sound). I'm more partial to the design too, I find the liftback hatch looks great with the black pack and angular lines.

I'd be happy to use the power of the VRS even if acquired as a family wagon.
Same way I'd enjoy the power of the AMG C63 507 wagon if my budget allowed.
I'm already committed on the GTI and we have a bigger car as the family drive, but would definitely consider this option next time around.

...aaaand it becomes tempting to cancel my order for the wagon; the RS carries only a small price premium over the 103TSI highline and includes the guts of a GTI and all the options I could ever want!Originally Posted by readerr0r
I do wonder how nice the interior is vs. the Golf, though...

Looks pretty good to me; I don't know how the material quality compares to Golf as I haven't sat in one of the new Octavias yet, but I don't think there were any issues on the previous model.

Popped in to finalise my PP, looked at the floor car that just arrived, the rear lights are indeed different! And the number plate lights are LED.

Is that the dark blue or grey in the above photo? Keen to see it in the flesh - which dealership?

I think it's the dark blue, it's Barloworld Glen Waverley.

Is the boot open in that picture, if not, the light fitment is terrible.
Also, bonus points for spotting the Tiguan in the reflection (those oem wheels are hideous)

Nope it wasn't open!

Can't say the 19s on the PP do much for me either.
