Hi all, just joined the forum as I have today bought a 2012 Octavia vrs tdi. It's a March 2012 car in white. Looking to get the wheels and grille surround done in gloss black shortly. I pick the car up next week.

I've previously owned a Seat Leon fr. With the 170 engine which I loved as well as an impreza. I much prefer the octavia though as its a compromise between the two, I think.

Going to post a question in the relevant section about scotch guarding the interior.

Welcome to the forum. interesting to hear your thoughts on the Octy vs Leon & scubby- are you refering to size, comfort & practicality etc?

cheers

welcome to the forum mate . i am new here myself owned a 2008 tdi vrs estate just over a week now in race blue lovely looking car dead original for now cant see it staying that way . out with the cheque book me thinks

In regards to the difference between the scooby and the octavia The octavia is far more comfortable, feels much better build quality and more practical. With a scooby you basically pay for the engine.

The Leon was a great car, the octavia is just a little more practical as I have 2 kids which I'd didn't have when I had the Leon.

Collecting it on Monday. Already ordered an autoglym valet set to sort it out and get it nice and protected and super shiney. Can't wait to leave it in the work car park and see what the boys think.

Hi and welcome aboard.

hi all!

im looking at buying a Octavia VRS 11 plate up wards with diesel engine and i am interested to know if they all come with bluetooth as standard, it never seems to be written in the specs, but i see the phone button on the centre console?

I don't think bluetooth was standard, you may be able to find a car with a factory fit bluetooth in it already.
