New Octavia ....when? How Much?

What do you mean "missing the driving mode and sound gen"

There won't be the RS Sport button or sound amplifier in the dash for engine noise?!

Seriously no sport button?! Come on!

Think it means the current cars they have in stock lack these features. Future cars should have them.

Yeah its a shame its missing in the initial stock, I really like having the ability to tweak the steering and whatnot. But yes it will be standard if you factory order it.

wow.....interesting specs there. the things that surprised me.
1. no yellow, green or red colors, even as an option
2. no manual for the TDi
3. no folding mirrors for the oz spec rs....again!! elegance gets it.

I guess they figured the RS has enough over the Golf GTI (standard xenon, optional kessy, sounds system, discover pro, a selection of factory fit wheels etc.)

New Octavia ....when? How Much?

Is all the initial pool of VRS stock allocated to dealers and deposits already being taken? I talked to a dealer a few weeks ago and they knew nothing at the time. Can they now accept deposits?

You can order your car and put a deposit down

He meant the space saver in the RS has to be 17" so theres room for the brakes when bolted on, it'd be the same for the Golf GTI though

Ahhh. 340mm rotors. Must be starting to get heavy

Yep...so Annoyed about the boring colour choices!!!

Where is the Red, the Green, and the Yellow that made the RS stand out before??

Å KODA Octavia RS Colours - Simply Clever - Å KODA Australia
The old RS colours, red included.

There you go. I can't recall ever seeing a red RS - Maybe that's why the dropped it? The metallic red would have done OK I think.

To be fair, VW's models are just as bland. Maybe the guys who decides is colour blind?
