.............................................................
Introducing the all-new Skoda Octavia vRS!
So, what will you find in the vRS that you don’t get with the normal Octavia? Well under the bonnet, you’ll have a choice of petrol, diesel or hybrid engines. We’ve got the petrol here, which is a 2-litre turbo petrol that can produce 245hp & 370Nm.
As for design upgrades, you’ll find redesigned & sportier bumpers at the front and back, as well as an updated grille. Whilst inside, you’ll find a number of upgrades, from sports seats through to alcantara on the dash. And of course, don't forget masses of red stitching throughout! After all, red means sporty, of course.
So, it all sounds pretty good, right? But is it enough to tempt you away from the all-new VW Golf GTI? It may be slightly cheaper than the GTI, but is that enough? You’ll have to stick with Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

It is. Essentially anyway, it's a hatchback which is pretty much same in my mind but with less marketing bs. You can also get an estate / wagon, whatever you want to call those. This is most practical of all although only about 50 more ltrs than the hatch. The estate allows for pan roof too, if that's your thing. To me, an AWD diesel VRS wagon, remapped for a bit more go, with adaptive suspension and cruise, lane keep etc is pretty much the perfect budget-ish does everything car.

I’ve got a 2006 VRS. Great car, never broken down and has barely needed anything than basic servicing since new. But 14 years of development and all that’s changed is a slightly bigger turbo on the same engine and a tablet on the dashboard. In the same time I’ve gone from owning a Nokia LCD phone to a Smartphone with 4K video and Elon Musk has gone from sticking laptop batteries in a 2nd-hand Lotus to making supercar-beating family cars, a global charging infrastructure and made space travel routine. Not only that, but the price of a new VRS has almost doubled since 2006. If manufacturers want my money, they need to sell me something I don’t own already and at 2x what I paid for it.

Seeing you on the Valley Road reminds me of when I test drove a couple of BMWs from the dealership up there in 1983. The 735iA, which was way out of my price range and a nice red 323iA Special Equipment which they lent me for the whole day! Recaro seats and all! I took my mum out for a spin and the seats were a struggle for her to get in and out of. My bank manager would have been happy to lend me the 7 grand (it was used, not new) but I decided against it. Never mind, eh! I was born in High Wycombe BTW, and Hughenden Park was one of my favourite places to play. I don't know where all those houses came from, it was nearly all fields in my day... 🤪

Hi, I got it in January. The car is great and the manual gearbox is brilliant. I didnt drive the mk4 auto but I did the mk3 and even though everyone loves autos, I still hate them. I enjoy driving and autos just don't cut it for me. However a word of warning, driving and mechanical the car is brilliant. Technology, its terrible. The user interface with no buttons is unintuitive, the voice command is completely pointless as normal, and there's a variety of glitches such as the heater controls disappearing and last sat nav destinations not being saved. If you look on the briskoda website you'll see loads of others having the same. Great car, infotainment is 'bleeding edge' and just not good enough.

Personally i think out of whole VAG group Skoda has the best styling. Skodas are simply beautiful, better looking than audi even.

It's a close one I won't lie. I honestly think the Audi just about wins it for me. Skoda is very closely behind it and then VW.

This new generation of Skoda does look quite good, I'll give you that. As to whether they look better then Audis, I guess it depends on the car. The A3 looks like hot garbage to me so the Octavia wins hands down in this class. I think Audi's lost their way in terms of design this generation. You do get some pretty innovative designs like the A7, but even that car is a massive disappointment compared to the old one which was easily the sexiest car in their lineup.

Hey Matt, thanks for the video! It just so happens this was uploaded as I was walking out of the door to go to a Skoda dealership to go and order mine and in the same race blue colour! Thanks to Carwow for saving me close to £4k on it also! Cant wait to pick it up 😊

You guys telling this with your beautiful V8 cars... here with stupid regulations We can't have proper new cars. I think your V8s are my favourites. My dream car is a Dodge challenger hellcat or demon.. here you have to pay a lot of punitive tax on them. And no Cybertruck either.. and again because of the stupid regulations.

What tyres did it have on it? I have a 2015 VRS which came with Bridgestone rubber when I got it as an ex-demo 6 months old. The tyres were complete crap, especially in the wet. Put on Michelin Pilot Sports and the difference was huge.

Cann't remember if it was Tiff or Clarkson that described Hot Hatches as having a wheel at each corner. Once anything is over hanging, hatch or not, it stops being a Hatchback I'm afraid.
