New Skoda Octavia vRS

Ant84 · 5 Jun 2013 at 22:20

Very nice. The estate looks even better.

The estate looks good but those wheels are awful.

Estate looks great, by the time i need one they should be at a pretty reasonable price...

NathWraith · 5 Jun 2013 at 22:38

the estate looks identical to an A4 from the side profile

A lot of people saying it looks understated; I agree and for me this is part of the appeal of the Octavia VRS. Pretty quick but to the average person it was "just another skoda"

I think I prefer the facelift mk2. Probably not helped by the fact I can't stop my eye being drawn to that distracting camera thing in the grille.

I like the Estate, but it can lose the VXR/Alfa mongrel alloys.

Hank_Marvin · 6 Jun 2013 at 09:29

Both very nice but the alloys are horrid.

Both look great to me, hate the alloys.

PS - Have we seen the new Fabia VRS yet?

Generally I don't like estates but that one is really quite nice. Normal version isn't bad, looks nice enough but I can't help but think it's another VAG car and looks like all the rest.

Just to buck the usual OcUK new car thread tradition that is saying they don't like the alloys whatever they happen to be. Personally I like both sets of alloys. I do often find myself wondering what alloys would ever receive the OcUK seal of approval. The only thing I can think of is the traditional BBS style wheels. So question to those saying they don't like the wheels. What would you say should be the choice of wheel for this car?

There isn't any talk of a new Fabia yet....well OK there is talk, but with a 2015 slated release you're unlikely to see many pictures yet.

Ant84 · 6 Jun 2013 at 09:50

Think the wheels look great myself, but then I've always loved the Alfa alloys too.

stoofa · 6 Jun 2013 at 09:50

Well I'm currently on my 3rd Octy vRS and from what I can see there is no reason why I wont at least take a good look at owning my 4th in about 18 months time.
Want to see some interior pics.

I was very tempted recently by a vrs but have decided to hold out till the new ones are out. Will see what they are like then.

Ah ok, It must have been the Octavia that I heard about (obviously) No worries

I'd back up the 2015 date for the fabia vrs. I've got a 2011 one and its one of the first.

This octavia vrs estate looks like a cracker though. I love the look.

G|mp · 6 Jun 2013 at 20:25

I like that

gillywibble · 7 Jun 2013 at 16:21

Love it.

Skeeter · 7 Jun 2013 at 16:30

Its got the e60 syndrome, the estate looks a lot better than the saloon.

wozzizname · 7 Jun 2013 at 16:32

I've got a facelift VRS now, and would certainly have a look at one of these come replacement time.
