Better not be a month! Two weeks from unload is what I'm expecting, maybe earlier.

Two things:
Driving the RS, very quiet and smooth ride (in Eco)... my old neighbour who I visited the other day was impressed. His brand new Mazda 3, the second model from the top - mentioned his ride is very loud. Tyre roar etc.
Octavia RS, compared to my 2012 Polo GTI - much much quieter!
Second thing is that I think the windows in the Octavia RS need to be a tad more padded... some noise coming from outside when closed - but otherwise the car is really good sound wise.[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Matt

The extra noise is probably because they thinned the glass in all Octavias to reduce weight. Just like they cut back on sound deadening.

Eco mode is great, have no idea if saving fuel but am happy with it and only use Sport/RS mode if eager to have a bit of fun!
Regarding glass, could be that... Perhaps I need to get my window tinting done sooner![FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Matt

I believe you can run your leg on the handle too if you're hands are full.
Have been told it works through work pants, but I'd be testing that before trusting it. Kessy seems ideal if your in the car yourself, if it's a bunch of people, using the button on the remote seems better. I'll find out when my car turns up if I like it or not. I guess you can set it to open all doors if you like right?Last edited by GTR27; 11-11-2014, 02:21 PM.2014 Skoda Ambition Plus 103TSI candy white wagon, 6sp Manual, Tech pack, Panoramic Sunroof, 18's, Colour Maxidot, Comfort BT
