Hi Guys, I got my VRS hatch petrol 1 month ago, and I would like to summarize my experience. The car is fantastic, well worth the long wait. It's fun to drive, much more quiet than the previous Octavia, and the materials are better. BUT There was small scratches on the back spoiler, the rubber around the window was not properly in place and the plastic engine coverage is missing. The dealer said that they will replaced later. It's a company car, but it's still annoying, that you pay a huge amount of money for a new car, and you are facing with these things. And today I wanted to cool my water in the glove compartment, but there is no cooling, just a hole. I attach a picture. I didn't find anything in the manual about it, but as I know there should be cooling in that compartment. Am I wrong? I would appreciate it, if someone could check it for me. Thank you in advance!

I got a call yesterday that my car finally arrived. I can pick it up in the next 1-2 weeks. My last information in March was that the planned arrival is May, and I had no further information until the yesterday call. vRS Hatch petrol ordered in Dec 2021. I update the spreadsheet.

Hi All, I've ordered an Octavia vRS hatch (2.0 TSI, DSG) in December of 2021 as a company car. There is nothing special in it (black color, alarm system, front parking radar, spare wheel). The first predicted delivery date was 2023 March. Then April, and now the 22th week, so end of May. Who ordered any BMW, or VW or Toyota, all has been delivered. From this week, you can't order an Octavia in Hungary for the next 1 year (but as I see in the other countries yes). The dealer said it's because the factory is full until 2024 spring. I think it's not the true reason why mine order is late. Last week my company ordered another Octavia (1.5 TSI DSG Ambition estate with lack of extras), and the price is only 1300€ less then my vRS was. I have no info, just when I write to the dealer. Very frustrating. I guess this will be my last Skoda...If I ever get it.
