I have done a search but can't find any information on when the CR 140 will be available in the facelifted Octy.

I'm again thinking about getting a Skoda but have completely changed my requirements in the last couple of years. The main thing is I want an automatic! I used to say I would never have an automatic but after hiring a car in the US I was completely converted. I know the DSG isn't like a proper auto but from the comments I have read it's the next best thing.

I could get the VRS but I don't like sports suspension and huge wheels with low profile tyres (I like a comfortable ride) so that's not an option unfortunately.

there has been no firm info released yet about the change to the CR for the 140 engine but its bound to happen this year.

I really wanted to know that. Apparently one or 2 have come through, but they were ordered as PD's. Very Strange. In the end I went for the VRS LE, and had to forego some of the toys I wanted. Still like the car though.

there has been no firm info released yet about the change to the CR for the 140 engine but its bound to happen this year.

I emailed Skoda UK with this question about 3 weeks ago and their reply said there would be an announcement in June, with cars to order a couple of months later.

Fingers crossed for some info soon!

The Yeti is already in production (for the European market I assume) and this has the 140 CR. I guess it can't be long till it's in the Octavia
