Maybe but that's clearly not what he told me. I think it would strange to do the recent 2017 'Facelift' without this new engine option and then do another 2017 change and add another engine in the same year no? It's definately not available online on the builder nor in the new 2017 brochure Anyway I guess time will tell....

Thanks for everyone's comments on this thread. I decided against the SE Sport in the end.... I've just order a new 2017 'facelift' Octavia Estate SE L in Silver with a early may delivery date. Very excited!

Just spoke to the dealer on this. The 1.5 TSI ACT is not an option on the recent 2017 'facelift'. Its going to be available on the new model which won't come out till 2020'ish.

Are you sure? I thought the ACT was standard on all 1.4 TSI range across the VW group? They are doing another octavia facelift? They have just done one on the care no?

Thats great news. I'm also excited for the city driving economy of the 4 cylinder to 2. I think its the perfect engine for me living in town but also wanting to drive long distances for family trips.

Thanks Glosrich! Great idea. I'll take look at rentals. I've been looking at a 13% discount over on Carwow.com which is the average I think. Even on the 2017 'facelift' models

Thanks Smurf. How are you finding the 1.4 TSI engine on the motorway?

Coming from basic Toyota seats. Distances is a mixed bag really. No, I haven't driven the SE sport just sat in the car in showroom... As an old 50 year old I'm starting to thing the SE L package would be better suited.

Thanks guys for getting back to me. Mr. Rubble, strange question but can I ask you your age and size? I've heard that over 50 and larger people struggle with the seats due to them being narrow and very hard.

Hi everybody, Newbie here who is considering pulling the trigger on a 2016 Octavia SE Sport. Wanted to ask you guys if anyone has had issues with the seats? I've they aren't the best on the lower back. Would greatly appreciate any thoughts and or comments. Thanks....
