General Comments

Only had the Skoda Octavia RS a couple of weeks, so I apologise that the review is not really in depth!
Now it's run in, I have to say the performace is superb. I get it in the right gear (like any turbo) and it flys!!
It's comfortable, handles well with a golf club friendly boot, and seems to be fairly easy on fuel if you are easy with the throttle (been getting an average of about 36-37mpg)
No problems with reliability so far, but it has only been a fortnight!

I feel I should point out that I chose this over a Focus ST, as it was better value for money and more spacious.
However, the ST is great to drive (weird clutch though, and it the one I drove tramlined quite badly on single track roads) and if you are really hammering it, I think it would be more composed than the vRS.
But in the real world (traffic jams, rubbish roads, high fuel costs etc) the new Octavia RS is the better car.

If you can see past the badge, I'm sure you will be impressed!
