I live in England and have a 2011 VRS 2L Diesel. It’s a great car. Pulls like a train, sips fuel, and can carry all sorts . Brilliant car

Love our tdi in Ireland/northern Ireland i for one love the Octavias just a shame I can’t get insured on one just yet! Dad has had 3/4 of them and he’s a taxi driver loves them for the reliability takes them right into 400k miles and even with high miles still so easy on diesel! lucky for him insurance isn’t a problem but can’t wait to get my hands on one

I have the exact same used car with an Estate body. Best car I have had. I was initially wary of the purchase with 350K high-mileage, but the car and bargain price won me over. Out on the road, I see other more expensive cars and think "why you would waste any more money?". This car ticks all my boxes; the ride, cabin comfort, cornering, braking, along with the 170HP being more than enough for me to have some fun and still get great fuel economy. Just to add, my 2012 has a better sound system, perhaps it may have been standard with the installed SatNav option. Its easy to use and no problem in the sun. And yes I crank up the sound, its really good!

I've got the same engine I thinK (BMN engine, 170bhp TDi) in my Seat Altea Freetrack. Although with 4wd. I find it feels slow though. I've checked times on 0-60 launches etc, and it seems to be right, just feels slow.

170bhp and 350nm is not really a performance car is it though. Sure it hasn't got bad midrange, but it, and the Golf GTD are not performance cars imo. Never understood them. If only VAG had let Skoda use the 2.0 BiTDI engine from the Passat in this car. That coupled with Torsen all wheel drive and the diesel RS Octavia would have been much more of a performance car. (NOT the BiTDI engine from the Transporters though, which is shockingly flawed)
