Hi all,
After checking out VWwatercooled for last few months, thought it by time to join up and start contributing to the discussions.
In the last week have finally taken possession of a new 2010 Skoda RS wagon with all the bells and whistles. Being a new parent, the wagon of course goes to the wife and I now drive her 2005 Golf V 2.0.
When looking for a family car to carry the baby and all its stuff, we initially considered a Passat wagon, a Volvo wagon (V50) and a few suv's. We found the Tiguan's boot to be about the same size of the Golf's, so that was quickly marked off the list.
I can't actually remember how I came across the RS, but once I saw that its boot was almost 600 litres, I thought might as well give the Octavia a test drive. One ten minute drive later and our white RS wagon was on order. 2 months later, I've finally got the keys and I'm very happy with it. In terms of value for money, power, space and practicality, it is a fantastic package.
I am positive that in a few years, Skoda will sell more cars in Aus than the French marques combined.
Looking forward to reading and sharing the views of the forum.
Cheers,
WhiteTiger
