[Terryible]

Thanks for all your replies, we are also asking the price for the Golf wagon comfrontline with driver assistance package and have been quoted around $33,000

We will let you know how we go

You really need to make a decision before playing hardball with the dealer. That includes deciding if September delivery fits your timeline.

New Octavia ....when? How Much?

Just ordered RS Wagon for $47,505 with Tech Pack, Sunroof, RS button, auto boot, KESSY, Bi-xenon etc

SO Excited!

WEEK 22 Build as well. If anything ordered now with Tech Pack it will be build on or after week 22.

Hope I get flat steering wheel.... but the dealer enquired and there is only RED Stitching in the interior.. NO grey option as we're a smaller market. And no ice scraper... sales woman nearly killed me for asking 3 times!

Congrats on your purchase! What is RS button? and I though Bi-xenon is standard on RS?

Yes it is standard... i was some blabbering on what I got!

The current stock of RS's don't have the "Driving Mode Options" in the touch screen menu..... so when the new week 22 build come in; in the dash where the gear stick is, there will be an RS button and you choose your driving style. Eco, Normal, Sport and I believe RS is the fourth.

Just wondering if anyone knows if the Rear View Camera will be available as an optional part of the Tech Pack across the entire Octavia range or just the RS?

It's standard in the Tech Pack when you order the car from now on and built after week 22. Which all Octavia's optioned with the Tech Pack are built from week 22. (June 27th)

I just returned from Southern Classic cars they have a white RS wagon and liftback, both TSI DSGs. Rather underwhelmed, both seem rather plain. The interior of the leather Elegance is nicer. With the previous model there was a big jump from the Standard to the vRS, not so now the Elegance is in the lineup. Exterior doesn't seem that much nicer either.

Oops! Now I need to order the Chrome pack so my window surrounds have brushed chrome look to match my roof rails

Wait you're not getting the black pack? Probably the only factory order without it

[MJKooLio]

I don't want the black grill or black sills, it'll be exactly like on my current polo GTI. The door frames are black. Once you wash the car once and dry it, it leaves faint scratch marks on it...

Fair enough, which colour? Silver looks quite nice without the black pack.

That's not the Black Pack!

Though it does have black 'rubber' door frames.... Chrome Pack makes them Chrome (Really Brushed Aluminium that matches the roof rails) and Black Pack is Black Grill and Mirrors and Black (Really Piano Black) around the windows.

I'm getting the Gun Metal Grey colour... with Chrome.

Properly known as Metal Grey Metallic

I said without, not with

For those curious about the difference, the car in the pic above has neither the black pack or the chrome pack. On the Liftback the chrome pack only adds it on the lower line whilst the wagon its both lines. Both cars below have the chrome pack.

Ah, so that is why is is double the price on the Estate...

IMHO looks a bit naff on the Liftback. Half hearted effort like on the new Mercedes GLA etc.
