- After 3 years of having a 2018 Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0 litre diesel in the family, it is time to say goodbye to this fabulous car. Join me, as I weigh up the pros and cons of the 3rd generation facelift vRS, assess how it drives and see if it lives up to the vRS badge.

Your dad helping you quite well mad
Yup, big shoutout to my Dad for his immense help with making this video possible!
I don’t personally own one but every-time I see one I do think to myself that is a-lot of car for the money.
Great video I think that's the (haunted) GoPro it works really nicely especially the shot at 0:44 and the sound effect at 0:47 lol
👊
Nice
This video was one of the most fun to record lol
Got myself a vrs tsi recently, yep, agree with you my guy
Glad to hear from another proud owner!
my guyy
Can I ask what mpg you were getting, especially on motorway journeys?
Of course; this is one of the strong points of the car! Combined MPG is just below 50MPG and on motorways we were consistently hitting 60-65MPG 👍
@@Poncho202 incredible. What's the MPG like if you thrash it around? still 40+ i imagine?
@@rafh2753 unfortunately it's a little lower than that if you drive in vRS mode- high 20s early 30s more like
It's odd that you suffered such bad tyre wear in the rear.
Possible causes I would suspect could be under inflation, or a poor wheel alignment where the tyres were set to toe in or out. With regard to the latter, some tyre dealers purposely align rear wheels this way so the tyres scrub against the road, wearing quickly.
Does anyone have any other similar issues?
Yes, my Dad and I noticed that it was a ring around the middle of each rear tyre that wore out first. We think this might be something to do with the sporty setup and the fact that the tyres are set slightly wider apart than the standard Octavia
It's not normal at all. Probably a combination of driving style and definitely some problem with alignment. Bit odd that the owner has gone through three sets of rear tyres without seemingly getting the alignment setup properly.
@@chris3385zzzz not on mine at all
It’s usually the rear alignment setup that causes inner tyre wear. On the vRS mk3 the rear multi-link is factory set at -1.45 negative. Unless you’re going on a track, reduce it to -1.15 and the wear rate is much improved.
my dad wanted to buy one but they say that 2.0 184hp diesel drinks to much oil like 1l in 1000 km. Is it right did you any trouble?
We didn't have any problems concerning oil usage. Only had an oil change as part of the service once a year, nothing in addition 👍
4:35 wow what a mess back in the passenger seat 😅
This proves that it can indeed be daily driven and used as a family car though!
Yep
epic another car review lol
Sort of, it's an overview, so not as detailed as the full in-depth review of this car.
Did anyone notice that cyclist at 8.47?? Cycling on busy dual carriage not good
As a cyclist myself, I must agree
201 Subscribers! (Make Sense)🤔😓
💪
Needs a good clean on the inside lol,
Before you main stream it to the 🌎 especially if your going to try and sell it, at least make it look half decent
Really not a good review at all sorry just my opinion
Although this video was not the in-depth review (more of a last laugh for the vRS) your opinion is of course valid and I'm always trying to improve my content. In addition, we were not selling it we traded it in for another Skoda; it just happened to have not had an interior wash at the time of filming this video.
i will give u 12k for it then if u hate it so much
1) What makes you say that I hate it?
2) The video was made over 1 year ago, and I mentioned that we were trading it in- so it's not for sale...
3) 12K is way under what one of these is worth.
@@Poncho202 seemed like you were moaning about it lol grilles, exhaust etc
@@longbar2344 yes I do that but it's an important part of automotive journalism- even if you really like the car, there are always things which others do better, you have to be critical 👍
Oh god do I really have to explain this it's all about cost all the companies do this Octavia comes in various models so rather than having a bespoke exhaust system they have a fake exhaust so you can drive in your diesel with the same look as the petrol there for saving the company money ok school is over for today
It's not the exhaust system that's fake, it's the exhaust tips, which I and many other motoring journalists find unnecessary. And yes we all get that it's to boost the sales figures and earn a profit. That's the general idea of a business..
