Guys, How does this compare with UK pricing on previous the current model?

It will be interesting as there was 10%+ on the new Octavia when it came out. I don't think they have that much to play with v. A6, Passat etc.

Any thoughts on where the pricepoint will be relative to older model?

Matt. Which wheels have you on the MK3 Octy?

Thanks to everybody for the replies. Please keep them coming.

Very interesting...why do you prefer her MK2 Octavia? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Great info. The question now is whether to buy now or wait for the new model. Is it ever a good idea to buy the last of the old model?

Folks, As above I was about to trade my Mk 2 VRS FL TDI (17" wheels) for a new VRS until I drove one and was totally underwhelmed... came away preferring my own car. However I am now turning to the idea of a Superb 170 Combi. If you have gone this road (I will probably get a manual version with 17" wheels) can you tell me how you got on with the Superb? Any regrets compared to the VRS? Has the experience been good? Thanks.

Folks, Thanks for all the replies. I suppose it is subjective and maybe depends on how worn the tyres are but it comes back to the question; has anybody with a full set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3's changed to a full set of Goodyear Assymmetric 2's (or vice versa)and if so did they notice any difference in terms of road noise / comfort? Thanks again.

Folks, How do you find the road /tyre noise levels with the Goodyears. I am thinking of getting them instead of Michelin PS3's but only if the noise level is reduced. Can you help? Thanks.

Folks, Can anyone help with this query? Thanks

Folks, I am due to change all 4 tyres from the OEM Bridgestones Potenzas. I had Michelin Pilot Sport 3's on my last VRS (TDI, PD) and thought they were really good. I have noticed however that the Goodyear Eagle Assymetric 2's are getting great reviews and are said to be 2db quieter than the PS3's (69 v 71) which is a significant difference given an extra 3db is supposed to double noise levels. I am wondering is there anybody who has used both on their car and can let me know how they performed in terms of road noise? Thanks in advance. Bif

Folks, I am sure this has been discussed several times but my search on here didn't work out very well. Can anyone tell me what is the best way / system to wash / protect my first new car (VRS CR, Race Blue) and what are good cleaning products to use(or provide link to previous posts). Thanks in advance. Biffo

Martziniuk, Thnaks for that...I will see can I access the info from it. Biffo
