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

      I think it's one of the nicest colours.

      That is a great choice.

      I had this grey in mind

      Looks like they forgot to paint it.

          that's a terrible grey. Looks flat/washed out.

          Opie, is it too late to change your order colour?

          • 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.

              My bad meant only this month left which is in line with your ETA anyway.

              How is eco mode? I'm 4000km in and still haven't tried it. Much fuel saving going on? I agree its very quiet. I'd imagine with eco mode and the reduction of noise from the soundaktor it'll be more so.

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

                Edit: I thought you were just stirring me up dzl_dubba!

                • 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!

                  • I just can't bring myself to do a whole trip in eco mode haha. Though if the Octavia was available in a model similar to the Golf GTE (hybrid with 1.4T) i probably would've seriously considered it.

                    • If anyone else hasn't figured out the keyless entry and lock with KESSY:

                      Unlocking car is when you out your hand IN the handle area.

                      Locking you can somehow push/press with your finger, slide your finger or press your finger sideways over the small groove seen in picture below:

                      • 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?

                          • Ship is off the coast now. Looks like it is parked (based on the marine authority dock time it will be till midnight or so)

                            So close I can almost smell it.
