What's Czech for "Hello"

Featured Replies

Hi, New on Briskoda today. I live in Cornwall, so a chilled wave to anyone here who lives in the lovely South West.

I don't have a Skoda myself at the moment but I'm seriously thinking about a MkIII Octavia VRS Estate that's for sale and Has totally turned my head! I drive a 2.0 TDI Audi A3 DSG at present (and have a Porsche 968 Coupe 'Classic') but a hatch doesn't suit my needs any more. I think the Octavia will be a great fit for what I want.

I Was thinking of going for a bigger Audi, either an A4 Avant, A6 Allroad or even an A7 but you just can't argue with the performance/price balance of the Skoda. BMWs just don't do it for me and the boot space in a 320 Touring is a joke! I'm not a big saloon/sedan shape fan. I Always loved coupes and then from seeing the Audi RS2 I was ruined.

I've watched a lot of video reviews and buyers guides to try and help make my mind up. I was nearly there, when a review I saw talked about the levels of wind noise being high, another about noises from the rear suspension. The former was just put down to Skodas having less soundproofing to deal with the noise (really?). The latter was put down to the MQB VAG platform. I'm also a bit concerned about the 18" Alloys and stiffer suspension being unsuited to badly potholed and "top-dressed" roads. What do people who drive VRS's think?
