New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[MJKooLio]

Was informed that a Dark Grey Metallic example had come into the dealership... On a Yeti.

Here is the photo :



The color is more Greeny-Grey but not a dark grey like previously. It's different and am contemplating over night and will check it properly tomorrow.

For the night - I have a Octavia RS lift back to test drive... DSG. It has 6 gears NOT 7!!! (Is that right?)

Drove it around and to a few jobs/events. I'm a photographer so I drive all the time. Car seems very light. Steering is good and when you pick up speed the steering wheel tightens... This model doesn't have the MODE button as it's an early model to Aus.. My RS will.

Bi-Xenons are amazing. Interior is perfect! Centre console has a lot of buttons but I'm not familiarizing the car too much until I get my own! lift back shape is pointless to me. Rather the wagon which I've ordered. Car has grunt, I can tell you that! Over taking or under taking works great. Have to get use to the size of the car as I currently drive the new shape VW Polo GTI.

Yes, the 7-speed in Octavias is only in the ones with less torque (under 250 Nm). The 6-speed can handle the torque of the RS petrol and diesel variants.

A few new pics of a metal grey liftback on Briskoda today. Seems to accurately portray the color.

Thank you to you both. 1. for the DSG info... so this 6spd DSG in the RS is more reliable then the 7spd I have in my current gen Polo GTI (6R)?

2. Yes, I'm going to check the Yeti tomorrow with my other half - see what she thinks of it in person...

It might grow on me but the white RS i have tonight.... well I love it.

Yes the RS has the 6 speed wet DSG, same as the GTI/R and the Diesel Golf/Octavia. Wet DSGs are much more reliable by design compared to the dry ones.

Seems the metal grey is similar to carbon steel grey on the GTI, though it doesn't show the black pack off well enough for me, hence the candy white order.

Anyone got any extra info on build times from their dealers? Week22 is on its way, it'll be nice to know whether or not our orders actually get built that week.

My dealer reckons 3-4 months from order for non rs, around 6 months for rs models. Seems to be about right now according to briskoda. It was 5-6 months for amb, amb+ and elegance but those times seem to have come down a bit and production rates are up

Nope, asked mine yesterday. He assured me my car will be a my15 build and that they don't have any information on spec changes for Australia yet.

So no RVC yet?

[MJKooLio]

RVC? What is that?

I'm sticking with the Metallic Grey color for my RS. Girlfriend likes it, dealer says it different and unique. I like the white but happy with the Grey. I can't wait for my RS!!!

Metallic Grey is like I mentioned more of a Greeny/Gray color and not the normal dark grey.

[Dzl_Dubba]

RVC? What is that?

Rear View Camera.

[MJKooLio]

Ohhh!

RVC is for orders with Tech Pack but delay in production.

If you want RVCamera your car will be built in or after week 42 as mentioned before

Thanks. I remember reading it was dropped from the list of Tech Pack options but didn't read about week 42.

Do you know if it is RVC (static lines) or RVC+ (with dynamic lines when you move the steering wheel)

Sorry I have no idea... Check the UK website? I can ask my dealer but most things I've told my dealer about that car ie if it rains on the car and you've left windows and sunroof open, they all close. Told them to test it with a glass of water and the windscreen rain sensor to test out they were surprized! A revolution! Asked if I could work at the dealership :p
