I bought a nov 2016 150hp petrol tsi 6gears manual with bixenon (the ones in the video car), with most of the options still under warranty in July 2017 for 14k, a few months ago tuned it to 180hp. Everything works faultless, the car is quicker than most ppl think an octavia is (Ive surprised a few bmw´s), which is a fact I really like about it. Car looks great to me, is comfortable, silent, has everything you need for everyday use or long trips. The Car still feels new, and one year later, Im happier with it every day. Great car and so happy with it so far
I got my 2016 octavia VRS 2.0 TDI last week, it has every box ticked! It's got a 7 speed DSG, panoramic roof, wireless phone charger, racing seat upgrade, black optics package, bi xenons, technology interface package and the list goes on. All this for a £13,000 car is amazing!
Car reviews that don’t show the engine start, or the car actually being driven by the reviewer are just hilarious.
Even though the UK government is on the war path against diesels I still recommend the 1.6 TDI engine super frugal and nice and torquey for its size. Love mine just make sure you run it down the motorway every week or so to let the dpf do its thing and don't skimp on fuel get good quality fuel like BP or shell I use v power in mine to try and keep the egr valve happy a known weak point in this engine.
"And the estate is even bigger!"
Get on, amazing what you can learn...
You mean , "get away".
@@stuartbritton4811
No, Stuart. I could, indeed, have said 'Get away' but chose to use the local 'Get on'.
So there. 😊
I’ve Owned a Skoda near 6 yrs I’m a taxi driver and I’ve now got a 2016 Octavia diesel and what a car
Why are skodas the most choice for a taxi
Which is better for taxi this octavia or prius?
@@amirnadeem78 It really depends on where you live, if you live in a city with emission zones then the prius is the better option
I got this car yesterday nice and smooth to drive fast
I got the 2.0l tdi manual. No complaints from me, except.... I do kind of wish I got the petrol
Pre face life. So it's a win for me. Though I'd opt for the estate vrs petrol.
Aesthetically I prefer the original front ends
Diesels can burn oil on long fast runs.
I have experience of this from driving an Octavia diesel on the German Autobahn.
Love my vrs 230
love that colour
Great cars to drive. I like them. I just dislike gasoline engines and DSG in terms of reliability.
Is 1.6 AT better than 1.4 tsi engines? Thank you for your time and reply
I have the 150hp tsi engine on mine, and really like it, one surprisingly quick little engine. Extremely silent, about 6,2lts in daily normal use, 5,5lts on road trips. Drving it, it feels a bit like a diesel engine, since the turbo kicks in at low revs and kind of die a 4000rpm, and from there to the limiter the car doesnt feel to push that much.I got mine with manual gearbox because it is a great working 6speed gearbox and dsg are known for having expensive to fix issues. Hope it helps
I wish they bring them to the USA
Recommending the 1.0 TSI. Dude why?
because it's perfect if you want a car that is not only noisy but also incredibly lethargic unless you keep it above 3500rpm!
The clasping then waving of your hands became a bit distracting at the end.
I have one the boot is amazing .... inside is 💩 why it has a massive transmission tunnel running though the car is beyond me . The leg room is poor for this size car . The diesels all have dpf filters which makes the car sound noisey and ruff at times . The look of the car is very pleasing on the eye . I'm getting 44mpg city driving 1.6tdi. Free tax . Would I buy another one .... no . To me they all go wrong with a dpf filter. I've not had one problem in 6 months . But I just don't think they run very smooth and if you see the hassle and cost of replacing a dpf . It's wrong for a filter to be on a car that's not servicable .... they are so much better options out there hybrid are the way forward diesel has run it's course and in my opion not really improved much over the last 15years apart from emissions being lowered . But you will end up paying for it dpf egr will all cost ..
I have Superb TDI. No problems with filter on 118000 miles. Just need to go above 40-50 mph every so often. They're not designed for city driving.
They never even lowered the emissions they all lied about it, diesel has run it's course.. I'm here as I need a 2nd hand reliable car that's cheap to run (probably a diesel) but I'm at a loss as to what to buy. Its seems whatever you buy it's pot luck and no matter the make or mileage they can all go wrong and be darn expensive.. I even thought hybrid and epv would be the answer (not that I'll ever be able to afford one) but with talk of tolls on the roads and significantly dearer tax to cover the black hole left from decreased fuel sales (60% of which is tax) higher insurance premiums on epv/hybrid & ever increasing energy bills the consumers will always be kicked in the balls while the fat cats win win win 🏆
A DPF delete and a map makes these engines a joy to drive! 230bhp and 50+mpg you can’t complain!
Car reviewers are so deep in the car rabbit hole that they’re out of touch with people who buy cars. It’s only car reviewers that compare the Octavia to a Ford Focus, Golf etc. All because of the way it’s boot lid opens and it’s familial relationship to the Golf. Prospective buyers surely compare it to other mid to large saloons. 3 kids and a pram are not going to fit in the Focus
1.0tsi is not great, the least reliable and VW/SKODA’s hardest engine to sell.
the platform is from the passat, not the golf
No it’s not, where are you getting your info? The Octavia is on the same platform as the Golf.
@@Sto79Be you are right. It's the PQ35, same as the latest golf. I thought it was the PQ46. It's the Skoda superb that shares the Passat platform
Im stunned how terribly equipped British cars always are compared to rest of the Europe. No keyless start on octavia 3 rs? Like really?
Good. Its a curse
Only stating the obvious, as usual. Not an authentic comparison, just advertising ...
In the right colour....not that primer colour......ugh.....horrible. looks like its waiting for the colour coat to be added.
That's nardo grey, most of us find it sexy btw
go
Garbage & engine consume oil
Your English is garbage and waste breath
Do you even know what your talking about? Skoda is Audi and VW? Reliable powerful and comfortable. No problems known with these
