My stupid questions about Octavia's

[neil3k]

Few questions about Skoda Octavia hatches 

 

1) Can I Link my smartphone to the car and play music out of the car speakers using Bluetooth?

2) Can anyone tell me if the boot is high enough to fit a folded down buggy?

3) Has anyone got any personal experience with the 2.0 TDI 150 engine?

 

Any general experience/tips would be useful.

first 2 are answered.  Wife just got a 2.0D 150 DSG.  Its a decent enough engine, a bit agricultural sounding, but decent low down shove and goes well enough.  Its got a decent bit of poke.  I have a 300bhp 330D and it still feels pokey enough when I drive it.  MPG is not as great as advertised but will most likely free up a bit over the first few thousand miles and its still decent enough for us.

2) Boot is certainly big enough for a folded buggy. I regularly carried TWO folded wheel chairs; one on top of the other.

1) yes but the standard music system is not great. Not enough volume or bass. It improved when I upgraded the firmware to the latest version. See other thread MIB1 firmware. MIB2 is better in this regard

2) No experience

3) The CR150 is a great engine. the car is as nippy as my previous VRS170 as it is lighter. Can get 50mpg if you do a lot of long trips. Never get less than 450 miles out of  a tank, sometimes get 550 or more

1. The sound has improved on the 2016 MY Octavia Bolero from the 2013 to 2015 MY. I have had both and the sound is noticeably better on the newer models with MIB2 units.

2. It has a 3 body boot (will fit 3 dead bodies in the boot should the need arise). Buggies will not be a problem.

3. My brother had a Leon with 150 bhp. He was getting up on 60 mpg (indicated) regularly.
