Ok, everyone, to clarify. Octavia RS has its own sound generated through speakers. But the local dealer-added aftermarket Pantera sound generator as it allows louder sound and custom sounds. When I got the car I wasn’t aware of that modification. I thought Škoda decided to add a remote for turning On/Off their sound generator. Personally, I am not a fan of any sound generators. But some people like it.
20:40 The keylock on the door in the rear is for disabling opening of doors from inside. The toggle lock in the window control panel is nn the driver side is for disabling control of rear windows from the window controls in the rear.
This is a proper in-depth review! Iv got a 2015 vrs Octavia 2.0 petrol 6 speed manual, after watching this I’m thinking about ordering this very model. Looks great and great review 👍
Hi, I received mine 2 weeks ago. White version with black rims. Best car I have ever owned. Yeah the noise is weird, but clearly I did not buy it for the noise. 😁 - The scrapper plastic corner helps you measure the tires tread - you can push the SOS button, which will reveal another red button "Lamborghini style" 😁 - UI / software was indeed fixed
Are you going to shoot a driving video with this RS? I'm an owner of the previous generation and looking forward to see how the new one drives. Thumbs up for a really in-depth review! Like!
Pozdrav Josipe. Super su ti videa i stvarno dosta pomognes prilikom kupnje i odabira auta. Zanima me da li Canton dolazi kao serijska oprema u RS varijanti ili se nadoplacuje? U ponudi mi pise 8 zvucnika i Columbus. Hvala ti
Koliko me sječanje služi Canton je bila nadoplata ali nisam 100% siguran. Vidim da ih nema u konfiguratoru. Moguće da su na restrikciji, odnosno nemaju ih u ponudi jer im fale djelovi. Najbolje se obratiti prodajnom savjetniku i provjerit direktono.
That sound generator remote etc is nothing standard as far as I know? I have never seen that in any other review. I know the car has a sound generator inside, but you can just turn it on and off. Can you check that with the seller?
Do we get a sunroof in this new Skoda Octavia? I haven't seen a sunroof in any of the New Octavia yet, so would you please answer to this question, and do we get this in Octavia Style version as well or not. All the way from India.

Postavke motora "sport" troši više jer motor ide u više okretaje prije šaltanja u višu brzinu. U "sport" modu auto projecira zvuk motora kroz zvučnike za osječaj sportske vožnje. Novi motori zbog novih regulativa se ne čuje u kabini uopće kao nekad, jer je broj okretaja limitiran jer ne smiju ni prelazit određene decibele zvukom auspuha.

I really love the black chrome logo in the front, but that’s not standard, isn’t it?. All the images I saw has another. Do you know if is it a Škoda accessory or is it special and how can I bought one?. Really great video and car.
Did you drove a new RS 2.0 TDI 4x4? I’m considering to buy new RS, I would really like to have a 4x4 so that’s why I would go for a diesel. What do you think?
Extra aftermarket feature. All new cars after 2020 have dampened exhaust sound due to new regulations and aren’t loud. This can be added to any car. But it’s still fake sound generated by computer.
Your performing video presentation drives me to think at buying this car, I am still a little cautious about the software, but hope the light deficiencies gonna be resolved in the next 3 month versions; isn't it ?
I am buying a new car. This three cost the same in my country. Which one would you pick? Skoda Octavia vRS 200HP diesel BMW 3 150HP diesel Audi A4 150HP diesel
I'm driving all of them in my job... Škoda is best for travelling and also it is most comfortable from those three options I dont like A4 at all just because its hard and the interior feels kinda cheap BMW 3 is fun car and it has better infotainment system than Škoda, but its not that comfy inside

your preparation for this video is kinda poor... first filming with a phone then not knowing what options or after market options the car has. i was used to better quality content on this channel.
I appreciate your criticism, but to put things into perspective. I got the car in short notice, dealer didn’t mention after market part. All other stuff that is extra is pretty much mentioned.
