I hired a 7-speed 1.8 TSI for 3 days and 600k’s along the Great Ocean Road. Ran delightfully on 91 octane fuel,with astounding fuel economy. Loved it!

Steve, like a lot of classic design, it is understated. The design is desirable in plenty of enlightened locations, for example Prague. Like the Bauerhouse movement, it will be considered good design for decades to come. As per usual, it takes time for the less educated Australians to catch up.

Will, we already know that you are smitten by the brand, as well as having a financial interest in actively promoting them – that’s fine, but just don’t pretend that they their styling isnt at least 10 years out of date.

Skoda styling IS out of date, it’s not the brands strong point, probably never will be. It doesn’t dampen any driving experience, but you do have to look at it and explain the older styling to your friends.

The Skoda looks fine, a lot like a mini Audi. Steve, stop being a troll.

Sorry to hear about your eyesight problems. It would not be fair for all of your friends to laugh at you for buying something that already looks 10 years out of date.

Just ordered my upgrade 09 Octavia Wagon 1.8 with 7 sp DSG for my wife. Lots of other test drives but mind quickly made up after driving the Skoda. Lots of tech and value for $$$. Real fun drive with great performance teamed with the 7 sp DSG. Drive one and I’m sure you will agree. Wife loved it from 1st drive.

OK so it’s had a facelift. Now’s the time to hunt down a Skoda Octavia prefacelift bargain.
Bingo!
I’ve purchased a 2008 1.8TSI with 150ks only. A fantastic 6 speed manual with most of the fruit you need. Price? $24,000.

Going for an APR ecu remap soon…..

Simonsez Says: “This is hard to follow when you can see that VW are perfectly capable of ultra competitive pricing; with the Passat R36 being some $30,000 cheaper in Australia than the Mercedes and BMW models which are its direct competitors in Europe.”

What are you on about, VW isn’t in the same league as BMW or Mercedes Benz in Europe. They Have Audi for that, and even with audi it’s debatable whether or not it is in the same league!!
