Yes, for Octavia 3 was exactly 100 PS per tone, 1.150 kg and 115 CP . Weight without a driver, true.

Well, it's easy to test, take some family members with you and go on a drive-test and see how fast it moves and if it's ok or not.

Well, I drive it since 2016 and I did not have this issue. But I don't load it with 400+ kg/900+ lbs of passengers/luggage, it's true, my family members (beside me, meaning wife and daughter) have less than 100 kg/220 lbs together and luggage does not go over 50 kg/110 lbs usually. So with 150 kg/330 lbs typical load I would not even feel any impact. That does not mean that there were no situations where I had 300 kg/660 lbs passengers + up to 50 kg/110 lbs of luggage, but even then I did not find it frustrating to drive. And I drove quite a lot of cars that were frustrating to drive because they were underpowered (I would say at least 10). 1.0 TSI is not one of them. It's just a prejudice that some have about 1.0 motors, even if they are the power equivalent of old 2.0 aspirated motors, where nobody had issues like these.

0-100/0-60 in 10 seconds is by no means slow, it's actually better than average I would say. If you compare it to a vRS, sure, it's not as enjoyable :) As far as I'm concerned, over 14 seconds is a slow car, 12-14 seconds is driveable, 10-12 seconds is average, 8-10 seconds is pretty good, under 8 you are going already in the sportier zone (with under 6 seconds for really sporty cars and under 4 for supercars). Of course you should also check 100-160/60-100 performance to have a better idea, but it moves well in that interval too.

So is there anyone for which Android Auto wireless works on Octavia? Or it needs a software update in the future to make it work?

For UK residents, 4 liters/100 km translates to around 70 MPG and 0-100 acceleration translates to a 0-60 (well, a bit over 60). I just realized most of the audience is from UK (and probably the forum has its origins in UK)

I just wish they did not "downgrade" it to 110 PS instead of 115 PS ... or maybe compensate that with some boost from the mild-hybrid system so it would have the same performance as O3 1.0 TSI (0-100 in 9.9 seconds). Now it's a bit slower, 10.5 seconds I think for the mild-hybrid and 10.8 seconds for the manual gear. But they have to be more eco, so I guess they had to cut a bit from the power.

No reason why it should be too different from O3 1.0 TSI, I have one since 2016, more than 50.000 km, and I quite like it. Very good mileage (even under 4 liters for 100 km if you drive eco, I think 3.8 is my "record" for extra-urban national roads) and it's quick enough for me (no stress going uphill with 150 km/h with 2 more passengers). Also a quiet motor, very good for music lovers. In my country the taxes and insurances are also considerably lower for small capacity motors, so a lot of advantages as far as I'm concerned. It's probably one of the best motors VW group made in the last 20 years ... and I'm not aware of significant issues with this motor.
