  • Latest WHEELS magazine - Octavia RS as a used car buy

    Worth a read if you're interested in their summary of a 2008 model as a used car buy.

      There probably isn't a link if it's in the printed magazine.

        I read it too and I was happy with the summary. It was nice to see my car to the exact spec in there! Some nice recognition there too .

          Is this the March issue or is it the very latest April one? Don't have the April one yet and I've got a subscription. If its in the March one, can you please tell which page? I flicked through it twice and couldn't find it (maybe I'm blind).

            It's the April issue, page 132.

              Wow you guys must get it really early then cause all the shops here in Melbourne only have the March one. Haven't seen the April one yet and no email from Wheels about any subscription delivery delay either. Must be the public holiday hence late distribution? Thanks for the heads up.

                I subscribe and yeah I'd say your public holiday would have something else to do with it. There isn't much else in there I found that interesting... I'm going back for another round of work experience this year so I'll have to tell them that . They still crap on any other car magazine here though...

                  Will have to have a quick squiz through that mag!

                  I find it disappointing when they do all these hot hatch reviews that they don't include the Skoda Octavia RS!

                    I got it in the post yesterday!

                    I thought it was a good write up for the RS and might spark some interest in the 2nd hand market, even if (as they said) there isn't a lot to choose from!

                      I think that the last Wheels I purchased was probably in the early 1990's. Might have to go to the newsagent.

                            Went to Coles for some grocery shopping and saw the April edition and had a quick read of the review summary. Nothing much to say but good that its mainly positive feedback. Little pissed that I'm a subscriber and still haven't receive my copy yet and it not like my subscription has run out yet either!!! They usually email to advise if delivery is delayed but nothing this time around!!!

                              I used to subscribe to Motor but stopped for the same reason, that and the constant SS vs. Xr8, or HSV vs. FPV every month.
