Octavia II Series II Wagon


Octavia Scout II Series II

Mmmmm very nice! I think I like the new front now - it didn't look entirely convincing in the first photos. In person they're much better, especially the Scout (which I feel needed the facelift most). Does it have the folding-mirrors?

don't all cars have folding mirrors?

[dazag]

No, the current Face Lift RS's that just came into the country dont have that feature - strange really when the standard Face Lift Octavia's do have the feature. Might be a question worth asking Skoda Aus to clarify why the Rs range doesnt have this feature ??

[K1W1]

I was told that the FL RS's were going to have folding mirrors operated from the key. Is that not correct?

[dazag]

Doesn't look like it, I just went out and re-checked on my RS, I believe it's part of the normal lock/unlock procdure with the standard FL Octavia's, but i also tried holding the button down for the window feature ( drives the windows up or down ) and that works on the RS, just nothing with the mirrors.
Like i said I might throw this question at Skoda Aus and see what response i get.

In fact I just sent them an e-mail now, lets see if they reply quickly - then i can add a response to the "Customer Service" thread also - ha ha ha ha ha

Sorry, I meant electric-folding mirrors.

dazag - the folding function should next to the heat function on the mirror controls, or yes, if you hold lock they should fold-in (like the Superb).

The Skoda Aus brochure said that the RS/Scout do have them as standard so maybe they're lying?

Official photos have been released of the 2010 Skoda Superb Estate. Looks...ummm...superb.

[Markybhoy]

Yeah, have to say that does look rather....er....superb haha.

I do think they've done a much better job than the sedan but even that's starting to grow on me. Has anyone actually seen a sedan in the flesh (metal even)? I'm going to replace my car in about 6 months and I'm looking at everything/anything!

I have one on order. Hopefully in about a month I will posting to the Skoda Spotted thread: "Superb Elegance, Cappuccino Beige - in my driveway".

I like the wheels - would love to upgrade to them down the track. What's the go there - should I seek third party or go back to a Skoda dealer?

[VRS-Vic]

The Supurb looks a lot like a BMW, especially in that Cappicino colour

Yep. Seen several and driven a couple. Tried the auto park feature, that is one scary piece of technology it just does not feel right (but it works great).

Does the Octavia have the parking option....i remember the new model was supposed to but I swear I didn't see it as an option there when I last looked. I was wanting to try it with a Tiguan but never got around to it.

[K1W1]

I don't believe that it's and option on the Octavias. It requires front and rear parking sensors plus another sensor in the guard in front of the front wheel on each side. The guard mounted sensor is used to detect a suitable space as you drive along the road by bouncing a signal off the curb. The electronics involved are fairly sophisticated so I think it's only a high spec model option at this stage. Give it 5 years and all cars will have it.
