    Another maybe Skoda owner from SA.

    Hi,

    I am thinking of replacing my Mondeo XR-5 with a Skoda.

    Must haves for me are:
    • I like Euro cars
    • Active Cruise
    • Heated seats (for the wife)
    • Decent boot space
    • prefer manual
    • reasonable power with economy
    • Nice engine- the Volvo 5 pot is my benchmark
    • good open road cruiser for interstate trips
    • sunroof


    So the Octava RS is on my short list. Passat is a bit expensive and I am not sure about the look of the current model.
    Happy owner of an Octavia RS

    Welcome to the forum.

    Depending on your timeframe there is a new Passat due out early next year.

    Otherwise Octavia RS is good too if you don't minds wait....

      We don't get heated seats in oz anymore. The rs is a great car though. A mate has an xr5 Mondeo and it's a top car. The rs is as good in most places and better in others (like fuel consumption!). Even bigger boot than Mondeo is a bonus
