I find it strange that Skoda puts all of these expensive features (the radar cruise control, auto high-beam, 9 airbags, etc) in the car, yet something as simple as a rear-view camera (standard on quite a selection of its rivals) isn't found at all on the new Octavia, let alone any new Skoda. I hate to reignite the rear camera debate, but the Octy II has terrible rear vision and a rear camera would have saved many bumps (for my mum) on our Skoda; where is it? Surely a rear camera is a must for families?Mine: Silver 2006 Volkswagen Golf Sportline 2.0FSI 6M (with a sunroof)

I agree with Jake that given the equipment level of the car the reversing camera should be included
(I was quoted $1,340 for the reversing camera - absolutely absurd give the cost of the parts)
But I also agree that the rear visibility is fine and the proximity sensors are excellent
I have to park my Octavia hard in the left rear of the garage within 4" of the side & rear wall
Between the side mirrors, rear view and proximity warnings, this is no problem at all2012.1 Skoda Octavia VRS DSG Wagon - Carbonio cold air intake and pipe - HPA Motorsports BBK 355mm rotors 6 pot calipers

good review, im glad the 'bad points' aren't really bad, or an issue with the current model. im disappointed with the boot not going completely flat as well with the seats down. however, ive put the seats down twice since Ive owned the car. so not really an issue.

What is the purpose of the little step/lip at the base of the back seats?

And one thing I felt sure they would have rectified in the new model, but after seeing the above video I'm a little disappointed to say the least.
