The Skoda Octavia is not the best -selling car of the Czech car manufacturer worldwide. Good-looking, spacious, well-equipped and fantastic price-performance ratio, it is difficult to owe.
To end everything, the Octavia is also available in Sport VRS Spec – a hidden jewel of a car if there was ever one.
As a assembly line or estate, I received the VRS 230 hatch with a price of £ 26,580. It looks seriously cool in Meteor Gray, it offers crispy, intelligent lines and more than a touch of aggression thanks to a purely black ensemble of 19-inch types wheels, rear spoilers, door levels, front radiator grille and plus and plus reasonably discrete ‘VRS’ badge.
Inside there are red stripes and multicolored “VRS” fire fabrics on the leather sports seats, while an additional kit satellite nave and a round timer comprises.
The interior is well compiled and comfortable with good visibility, but it is the entire room in front and rear, which is noteworthy that the trunk with 590 liters or massive 1,580 liters with the rear seats are folded. Unnecessarily mention that the real estate version has van-like proportions.
Under the bonnet there is an additional 10 hp under the bonnet compared to a standard VRS, whereby the 230 hp relates to the 230-hp metric power power of the 2.0-liter turbo petrol engine, which also in the VW Golf GTI can be seen.
All this performance (227 hp, if you prefer it) translates in just 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 155 km / h.
Fire them up, cut it in motion and drive it off, and it is clear that this is not an ordinary car. It not only seems to be faster than the official characters claim, but this glorious exhaust grade can be seen.
For the highest traction, you should climb into the 4 × 4 version, but to be honest, the electromechanical front locking differential does a great job in the 230 time of the taming of all these horses.
Press the “VRS” button on the center console and you can also adapt certain engine, gear and handling properties, depending on the selected mode.
My car was equipped with a smooth 6-speed manual transmission, but an excellent DSG car is also available if you only want to concentrate on driving. And maybe you want to do exactly that because the VRS 230 is entertaining to drive. Despite the fact that it is the biggest ‘hot hatch’ out there, it takes great time and enjoys doing so well, although some may find the journey a little firm.
With a stressed 45.4 MPG, a maximum 5-star NCAP crash safety valuation and place traffic bags, the Octavia is absolutely useful as a practical everyday car, which is also enthusiastic.
And as if everything is not good enough, the Octavia received a number of improvements for spring 2017, including a somewhat new look and improved technology.
The most obvious changes are the design of the car. On the front, the headlights have full technology (optional with adaptive front headlights). In front of the back there are new LED.
Inside there is new infotainment systems that has top-der range of Columbus version are all standard.
And finally for 2017, the 227PS engine is now standard, so that all VRS customers can enjoy additional performance.
