Skoda Octavia

Skoda’s latest Octavia vRS builds upon its predecessor’s impressive blend of performance and practicality by offering more of both. It’s more practical because it is bigger and safer, and it now takes the title of ‘Skoda’s most powerful production car’. Considering the original was a fine car there is little to criticise about the new version. However, some people still can’t take the brand seriously because of the laughable, mid-80s cars, but look beyond the tired stigma and you’ll see a practical family car, that offers great performance and is excellent value for money.

TDI, PD, FSI

There is only one model trim and both the estate and saloon come with electric front windows, electric mirrors, climate control, six-disc autochanger, 17-inch alloy wheels, tyre-pressure monitor and on-board computer. The vRS also comes in a limited range of colours.
