looks great, Any way to get that for other countries, like in France for instance?

They are in France, yes. But we don't get the same standard options that you get in the UK. Doc attached for comparison and to test your French my2018_tarifs_octavia_rs_01012018_v2.pdf

Full list new standard features and revised options compared with my '14. Pretty good package.

Getting the same... Looks epic !!

I'm in France so guess it's different in each country. No blockage this side of the channel... makes a change

Placed my order today for a nice all round VRS upgrade - Went for the Moon White with grey stitching Manual Hatch. Columbus, Canton, DCC, LTE rSAP wireless charging phonebox, cruise control, tow bar, +2 year warranty plus all the forced options, DAB, Front Heated Seats. Apart from the RS245 standard differences nice to learn that the Rear Camera and Kessy (non-alarm) are standard as well. It's going to be a long 4 month wait until June - but worth it !!!

Surprised with the extra costs for CO2 charge etc, 2300 for CO2 on top of Delivery 609 and Registration 565.76 EUR Skoda offered 14.04% for the purchase but only 15K for my 2014 VRS 220 with only 48,000 on the clock. Was expecting more like 19K for my car (good nick + options). They initially said 13K... so made some effort. Good deal?

What name white is that in the UK, Moon White. In France we there is only "Blanc Lune" but seems a blue/light grey when checked today. I was looking forward to getting a white but was expecting something like "Blanc Lazer". Is this Moon White (2Y2Y) the same as we can get in France and not Candy White (9P9P) and Laser White (J3J3). Your picture looks a really nice white.

Thanks for the feedback. Gotten use to my 220 on 18s so as long as the 245 on 19s in comfort is comparable or no worse then should be fine I think.

Looking at replacing my '14 VRS before May this year. Looking at a 245 in white. How would you compare the ride ECO 220 + 18's versus COMFORT 245 +19's ? Is the 245 with 19s in comfort mode more comfortable? Thanks.

Photos were taken from the Skoda connectivity tunnel demo at the Geneva motor show. Sorry not in the car so no idea how they configured it. Most likley cabled. Cheers.
