That's an awesome price for such a well apointed car.

Subarus worst nightmare - serious competition has now entered the market.

[junior]

I agree a well appointed car for the $$, if your quick you may be one of the first to get one.

I agree Subaru may just have some competition in this price bracket, now that diesels are so popular and theirs won't be released til next year.

I didn't think they were selling that well, only 24 sales nation wide to date

No not a dealer, just an interest in the new marque

[XXX-1.8T]

i just found out a friend paid $46K drive away in Melb with sunroof and sat nav which i think is a top deal!

[DubSteve]

See what junior is trying to say is that he has SKODA licence plates for sale, mmmmmmmmm SKODA

[GermanwithaVdub]

sounds like a good deal to me.

how much does the thing weigh? aaannd... wtf is driver steering recommendation? :S

[Plicata]

Kerb weight 1400kg manual. Jetta 1430 (DSG), Golf GTi 1340 manual, 1360 DSG. All with same engine.

[mikinoz]

how much for the plate?

That is a cheap car IMHO!

IMO Cheap is not a positive word when discussing cars and manufacturers, time will tell if the Skoda proves to be good value for money or just a cheap import with poor quality and performance. Great list of features on the wagon that would certainly challenge the Libo Wagons if they are well made.

XXX-1.8T is that wagon FWD or AWD?

[DanSA]

RS is FWD, but there is a 4x4 available with a 6M 2.0TDi whcich can be chipped to 143kw and 420Nm

you sure about that? i thought it was only the 103kw available in the 4x4 which can only be chipped to around 125kw? and the 4x4 octavia isnt built for going around a track, its built for going down a dirt road... at least thats the impression i was under?
