What DO YOU DO when you need a family car but don't want to die of boredom? YOU GET A SKODA OCTAVIA RS!!
The 2024 Skoda Octavia RS is one of those cars that really surprised us here at CarSauce. It's a practical family wagon (to rival SUVs), with a turbocharged Golf GTI engine (the AWESOME EA888), and all the bells and whistles for a reasonable price. What's not to love? Well, some things, but we'll cover that in today's in-depth review!

I've got a 2020 VRS Challenge Edition and it's fantastic. I honestly love it. It's rapid and takes a lot of people by surprise. Especially with the cheeky 300bhp from a stage one.

Can I just say how much I enjoy your video style? So many reviewers have the same boring stiff style, or try to force some humour in that always ends up just feeling awkward. You guys don't seem to take things too seriously and your humour and personality comes through naturally without feeling over the top, and it really makes the video enjoyable to watch. Excellent review, of an excellent vehicle! Simply. Bloody. Clever.

@CarSauce you can lock the rear climate zone buttons from the 'Clima' menu in the infotainment - which would explain why the buttons didn't work.

I love my Octavia! Mine is 110TSI Style, not as powerful however still very capable!! Mine also has the adaptive chassis option 1:23

I actually quite like this. I would personally not get it as a wagon but if you can get it as an actual hatchback, I would get this over a GTI all day ( I have a mk6 GTI and love it! )

I have a 2020 vRS and it is the best car I have ever owned. 4 years and not one issue. Fun, practical and full of excellent tech. When the lease runs out next year there is literally not a car on the market that delivers what this car does and beats it for the price. I'll be keeping it for a few more years and put the money away for a DSG or water pump fix down the track when that eventually happens. With a Stage 1 and DSG tune this car is as fast as you can get away with in Australia with Mr Plod and his cameras everywhere.

Love mine. You missed alot of features, such as the boot dividing trim pieces that stick to the carpet and the rear headrests that turn into "pillows" so you can sleep without your head flopping about.

I’ve owned 3 Skodas and they all had weird noises/rattles/creaks/whines. I have since closed that noisy chapter of my life and am now living in Japanese silence 😂

Brilliant cars, had a lot of skodas and they've been 100% reliable. Fabia, Superb, Octavia are all nicee cars than their equivalent vw stablemates and miles ahead of any korean offering. Plus they are a timeless design and age gracefully, unlike anything japanese.

The turbo issues. I feel it’s not a turbo thing, it’s the sound because of the wheel spin?

That cars turbo turbine end seal is causing oil build up. Hence the sound.

Did anything come from the spool noise/whistle? Sounds identical to my ‘21 RS when gunning it, pretty sure it’s normal.

@dimsoneill 25 күн бұрын

My 2020 has a very audible turbo spool up noise when I get on it. I love the sound myself, part of the fun.

@cisa1622 4 ай бұрын

If you could share the ride comfort in the second row. Does that second row give a bumpy and uncomfortable ride. I lean toward the Kodiaq coz SUV are generally more comfy in the second row for passengers ( kids or adults).

@dimsoneill 25 күн бұрын

No, the comfort in the back seats is great. The back seats are a good place to be in this car.

I just heard that it has electronical split diff? Is so wromg! I dirve this car for almost 3 years now, and I can tell you I changed the oil for the haldex on th e front. So is mechanical not electronic like the diesel version.

@dimsoneill 25 күн бұрын

Yeah I thought it was a mechanical front diff as well. Whatever it is, it does a fantastic job of pulling you around and out of corners.

with a simple ecu and tcu tune and an exhaust they produce a good amount of power

@dimsoneill 25 күн бұрын

A stage 1 even without exhaust mods gives them serious get up and go. Don't sound good with the stock exhausts though, I agree.

SO does that make it not clever? Used mine yesterday at the multistory carpark. Very handy, very clever. Thanks Volvo!

@@dimsoneill not at all, I have two Volvos and am thankful for this feature on both of them. It’s a very clever feature. I just don’t think in 2024 we should be referring to it as a ‘clever’ feature since it’s now roughly 40 years since someone did it… possibly longer!
