thank you for your reply. It's true the Leon looks like a good alternative but at least here the 2.0 TSI it's almost as expensive as a GTI

Hello everyone, I'm deciding on my next car. I wanted something sporty as my last car (more than 7 years ago) was a MK6 Golf GTI that I was absolutely in love with. We have had other cars at home (Karoq and a Seat Alhambra right now) as the family was growing but they were mainly driven by my wife. I'm deciding between a Golf GTI and the Octavia, the GTI is crazy expensive and at least in Spain it has a delivery time of 12 months which is crazy. So the alternative for me was the Octavia vRS but I have some questions that makes me not 100% sure: First is the exhaust. I loved my GTI sound. And I see current GTIs exhaust and I would love to have those pops and bangs. Is this happening in the Octavia 2025? Because from the videos in the thread (Thank you!) it seems that it only happens when in sport mode and in high revs. That the car sounds good in overall? sporty? The lenght, as it will be our second car at home I was more tending to a compact car like the golf as it will mainly be used to drive kids to school and to my work (pure Madrid driving and some highways... but I don't really need that huge trunk space tbh. Is 4,70m too much? do you find the car too big for the city? Thank in advance for your advice. seems I need to make the decision if going for the Skoda before end of the year as they will apply new price increase in Spain on it starting on the 1st of January.

Hello everyone, New here, I'm previous owner of a Karoq and I'm now deciding wether to get an Octavia vRS or not.
