Škoda has always been a good car and spacious, in the last few years they have been getting better and better. Škoda is the only car that gives a lot for a small price.
Yea. I was never a fan of Skoda until I drove a second gen Superb. For its price, that car is awesome. Lots of space, lots of power and very comfortable. Changed my opinion pretty quick. For a normal working man, Superb estate or Octavia estate is all you really need.
@MIGHTY MQB my 03 Beetle with the 2.0l does that if I spin the wheels. Same with my 02 Beetle TS. Massive amounts of clanging and banging when you let it rip.
5:20 I believe the mode selector has been designed for LHD not for RHD so basically it does make sense for the rest of the Europe to have that specific button situated there but not for the UK, unfortunately.
I’ve got a 2006 VRS. Great car, never broken down and has barely needed anything than basic servicing since new. But 14 years of development and all that’s changed is a slightly bigger turbo on the same engine and a tablet on the dashboard. In the same time I’ve gone from owning a Nokia LCD phone to a Smartphone with 4K video and Elon Musk has gone from sticking laptop batteries in a 2nd-hand Lotus to making supercar-beating family cars, a global charging infrastructure and made space travel routine. Not only that, but the price of a new VRS has almost doubled since 2006. If manufacturers want my money, they need to sell me something I don’t own already and at 2x what I paid for it.
Well of course it's going to be much more expensive compared to 2006 due to inflation and a genaral increase in car prices. Everything is quite pricey these days
I am a fan of the design. Skodas have certainly come a long way however I’m not the biggest fans of the rims on this particular model but overall good job Skoda
My vw polo 1.9 sdi from 2003 was the cool looking, more agressive "black eddition". Black bumpers, black grill, black side door trim, black rearview mirrors and black steel wheels🔥
It is. Essentially anyway, it's a hatchback which is pretty much same in my mind but with less marketing bs. You can also get an estate / wagon, whatever you want to call those. This is most practical of all although only about 50 more ltrs than the hatch. The estate allows for pan roof too, if that's your thing. To me, an AWD diesel VRS wagon, remapped for a bit more go, with adaptive suspension and cruise, lane keep etc is pretty much the perfect budget-ish does everything car.
Yeah, we know, it's a Skoda... But what do you think, could this practical hot hatch be THE best new hot hatch of 2020? Let us know what you think below!
It’s actually a lot easier to turn off the traction control, pressing the set button next to the driving mode button, brings it up straight with other things
@@petelivingstone5129 Tell us more! I have honestly never considered a Skoda before but I'm tempted by one of these, a 128ti, or maybe even an I20N. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Don't know if it would work for the Octavia, but I changed away from Pirelli tyres on a Superb 2.0tsi and fitted it with Hancook K115s. Found them to be quieter, fantastic in the wet, but probably got 30miles less on a tankful. Steering felt a tad sharper but nothing you'd get excited about.
Nope, this thing is ugly. Mk7 and Mk7.5 are going to be hot for a while...I have seen people on VW threads who are choosing to buy the last available 7.5's over buying a new MK8.
@@LITTLEbigREG The MK 7.5 looked better than the MK8, VW wouldve won me over if they had good steering wheel controls and a better facelift, but im definitely getting the vRS with that beautiful Race Blue
Deffo the manual petrol for me, even though the 2019 1L petrol manual we have is definitely more than enough power, and doesn't have the stupid electric handbrake
You probably figured out by now that if you keep pressing the MODE button it will cycle through the mode options. By default it's in Normal; it takes only two clicks on the MODE button to enter the Sport - it's not the easiest, but at least it doesn't require you to search it on the screen.
I am liking every Skoda I see recently, I really love their design angles, no matter which model it is, to me every vehicle looks attractive. I guess like the sharp angles on Lamborghinis. 😊
Hi Matt. Octavia vRS iV is not lowered, due to the baterry protection. The other RS are lowered. The plastic bit in the boot should slide right behind the rear seats from the top.
I had a Mk 3 vRS for four years. Boring as hell but it was a bloody fantastic car. Well spec’d, loads of room, ok to drive, reliable. It never excited me but it never annoyed me and just cracked on with life. The new one looks ok (better than the Mk3 FL) and the interior looks like an improvement.
This new generation of Skoda does look quite good, I'll give you that. As to whether they look better then Audis, I guess it depends on the car. The A3 looks like hot garbage to me so the Octavia wins hands down in this class. I think Audi's lost their way in terms of design this generation. You do get some pretty innovative designs like the A7, but even that car is a massive disappointment compared to the old one which was easily the sexiest car in their lineup.
Just got the MY24 Wagon in eye-burning Mamba Green. Very practical and zippy. The ESC intrusion during hard low gear acceleration is slightly better than previous gens, but still there.
I've got a Skoda Kodiaq, and I both can cycle driving mode by pressing button, and turn off stabilty by pressing/long pressing dedicated button. Really weird why it is not so in this car...
The best car ever by what you get for the money! I absolutely love love love Skoda cars, especially Octavia RS models. I dream of owning one of those some day! 🤞😍
One point I have to disagree with is the stop start button, on the steering column makes perfect sense, that's where the keys go on older cars, why change it doesn't make sense to have it on the dash, or centre column for me perfect spot for the start button.
Black rims Two nice exhaust chrome pipes Sun roof Some carbon skirts Carbon inside And this car is a rocket Who ever designed the car probably doesn’t have the eye to do a good job

I own this car in estate form since Saturday. In fact it is a cheaper Golf GTI with an arse (Jetta GTI). If you can’t afford an Audi S4... but I like it! 😅 In comparison to a normal Octavia: sporty bumpers, sporty interior, sport seats, 2” bigger callipers, mechanical LSD, independent rear suspension, a bit lowered suspension and 245hp Annoying could be the fake interior sound.

Have the 2019 245 estate. It’s insanely well rounded, i can get 47 mpg . And it will leave a basic GTI standing with the 20year old boys that drive them. Its a classy car, that says i dont care if you have £400 per month to spend on the exact same car with 4 circles on the front grill. Team shccoda here!!!
Hi, I got it in January. The car is great and the manual gearbox is brilliant. I didnt drive the mk4 auto but I did the mk3 and even though everyone loves autos, I still hate them. I enjoy driving and autos just don't cut it for me. However a word of warning, driving and mechanical the car is brilliant. Technology, its terrible. The user interface with no buttons is unintuitive, the voice command is completely pointless as normal, and there's a variety of glitches such as the heater controls disappearing and last sat nav destinations not being saved. If you look on the briskoda website you'll see loads of others having the same. Great car, infotainment is 'bleeding edge' and just not good enough.
You guys telling this with your beautiful V8 cars... here with stupid regulations We can't have proper new cars. I think your V8s are my favourites. My dream car is a Dodge challenger hellcat or demon.. here you have to pay a lot of punitive tax on them. And no Cybertruck either.. and again because of the stupid regulations.
Guys don't shortlist this car. I have the mk3 tsi stage 1 307bhp. This car is easily a solid monster if you want it to be. Just go right ahead and buy it then drive to revo for a stage one ecu remap. Disappointment will not follow!!

Have the 2019 245 estate. It’s insanely well rounded, i can get 47 mpg . And it will leave a basic GTI standing with the 20year old boys that drive them. Its a classy car, that says i dont care if you have £400 per month to spend on the exact same car with 4 circles on the front grill. Team shccoda here!!!
im on a team volvo, getting bad mpg, 20 years old car, some interior parts make noise, But atleast i have 370hp
A golf handles much better if you ask me.
The police use them for a reason, they are quick especially once they’ve had a tune, I don’t think people realise how good these cars are!
Such a beautiful car
Thanks for this review. Just bought a manual one - not on Carwow yet though...
how's the manual compared to the auto?
@abhinay can't answer that yet I'm afraid it will be a few months before I get it!
@@DrPepper22222 oh, that's fine, update me when you get it
Any updates?
Hi, I got it in January. The car is great and the manual gearbox is brilliant. I didnt drive the mk4 auto but I did the mk3 and even though everyone loves autos, I still hate them. I enjoy driving and autos just don't cut it for me. However a word of warning, driving and mechanical the car is brilliant. Technology, its terrible. The user interface with no buttons is unintuitive, the voice command is completely pointless as normal, and there's a variety of glitches such as the heater controls disappearing and last sat nav destinations not being saved. If you look on the briskoda website you'll see loads of others having the same. Great car, infotainment is 'bleeding edge' and just not good enough.
I live in the U.S and I wish we got more cool cars.
You guys do get the best of automobiles and phones in the world!!!!
You guys telling this with your beautiful V8 cars... here with stupid regulations We can't have proper new cars. I think your V8s are my favourites. My dream car is a Dodge challenger hellcat or demon.. here you have to pay a lot of punitive tax on them.
And no Cybertruck either.. and again because of the stupid regulations.
The exhaust is not connected with the bumper because simple crashes would destroy all system. Not so bad idea
Guys don't shortlist this car. I have the mk3 tsi stage 1 307bhp. This car is easily a solid monster if you want it to be. Just go right ahead and buy it then drive to revo for a stage one ecu remap. Disappointment will not follow!!
