Skoda Octavia vRS 2017 Review

This is the Skoda Octavia vRS 2017 Review from Car Buyers Guide. Ian Fitzpatrick has taken the Octavia vRS out on the streets of Dublin, Ireland and given it a thorough test.
The Skoda Octavia vRS is a competitor to the Volkswagen Golf GTI with this 2.0TDI variant being the equivalent to the Golf GTD. The Octavia’s boot has a 590l boot which is 200l more than the Golf. Although it is not as nimble as the Golf, it is more practical and almost as good to drive. The 2017 Skoda Octavia vRS starts at €34,450 in Ireland.
What is new about the Skoda Octavia RS is the face of the car and the infotainment system. The facelift means that the radar is now built into the front grill and the headlights are split. This car is painted in Race Blue Metallic which gives the car a sporty look and design.
The facelift 2017 / 2018 Skoda Octavia vRS is available from Skoda Ireland now.

DSG gearbox clunky, that's the first time I have ever heard that claim? I have one myself and is the smoothest auto box I have ever known.

Enjoyed that review. Thorough update on the updates of the facelift of MKIII Octavia. Manual all the way, test drove a diesel VRS and gearbox was a little clunky at low speeds.

So the engine is now powered by the gearbox ?? That’s a new one on me

just an poor review, its like the reviewer just skimmed through the car's press release five minutes before shooting and said "Yep! uhm I'm um ready er shoot, I think erm..yeah..um"
