General Comments

I have owned my Skoda Octavia RS for just under a week, having previously owned a 2.0 WRX Impreza Wagon PPP, which cost the earth to run, hence why I now own a Octavia. I wanted the performance without the cost and boy have I found it.

The Octavia is a fine car, excellent quality build, super performance (OK not as fast as the Subaru, but it could be with a few tweaks here and there and some little mods and a bit of a re-map) anyway back to the point, I recently went on a journey only 200 or so odd miles through the winding roads of West Wales, lovely roads, quiet, lots of bends to test the handling and I was very pleased with the performance of the car, indeed the best part was the fuel, just used under half a tank (220 odd miles done) up and down the gears as I stated tested the briskness of performance. I was well happy, now having done that same run in the Subaru, I would have used my full tank of Super unleaded petrol, but this car under half a tank used ordinary unleaded. I am already feeling the benefits of changing car, truly is a great car and people shouldn't take the badge as a joke, as these cars are very nice indeed. Don't knock it until you've tried it. I do miss the flat four burble of the Subaru but that is it, and I don't miss the running costs of the Subaru at all.
