Seats in that vid are luuurrrrvly.

 

£675 option in UK + mandatory heating though.

 

They do look good in a brand new car, I bet after a few thousand miles on the clock the won't look so good.

 

For pricing, the vRS like the other models get a good discount, not only on the base model, but all options too.

 

Through our partner dealers we can get at least 12% off on a cash purchase. It's slightly different % discount on finance as it depends on the offer Skoda are running.

 

If owning isn't your thing now, then PCH is also a pretty attractive alternative and we have 'great' prices too.

 

Just drop me an email quotes @ briskoda.net or a pm with what you're after and I'll point you to the right contacts, just without the spam

Close up of how the rear wheels sit in the arches with the new wider track? Also the tail lights, preferably on estate...I fancy retrofitting them

So hot I must say VRS looks so much beater! PFL standard was ok but now FL RS is much more desirable and aggressive looking.   To bad I cant afford one ahaha.

No, it looks retarded. To good I cant afford it either.

Does the alcantara come with heated front seats or do you have to order the heated seats on top? 

Has anybody found sunset glass on the configurer ? It doesn't state it in the black pack or the black pack plus

God damn awful headlights

Ok will ask and try to take some pictures.

That's a great show there @Croat

 

Shows the three different designs, superb, kodiaq and FL Octy.  The similar bumpber to bonnet risers are on the superb, but they some how work. The Kodiaq, which you'd think would be the latest thinking avoids the risers.

 

The only thing I'd add is, given the shared parts bin, these new lights will be cropping up on the others soon enough. At least they have not messed about with the [----] rear 'C' lights

Seems a visit here will explain all the smart features. What was previously extra is now a matter of course! Welcome to the ŠKODA AUTO CONNECTIVITY TUNNEL and meet with ŠKODA CONNECT, ŠKODA SmartGate, ŠKODA SmartLink and other smart features. #GIMS2017

Dont know sorry.

The price of the alcantara seats doesn't include the cost of the heated seats. You have to add that cost on, oh and it's  mandatory 

Been on test drive today when I left my car on service. Her's the video review of the new FL Octavia!

Edited 10 March, 20179 yr by Croat

Excuse my tongue but, is this ******* real life? Still no rear LED blinkers? LOL!

 

Nice video tho Croat!

Nice video but them head lights :( what were they thinking.

Thanks DC.  I am thinking of DCC if I go the Golf GT estate direction, or the Octavia SE L.  I have a Golf GT est demo car for 4 days next week, so I will see what it is like on standard suspension.  Would still be interested if DCC does improve the torsion beam rear on an Octy.  I thought it was an option on the pre-FL, so hopefully someone will chip in.

Hasn't the golf gt estate been discontinued ?

It seems to be on the site: http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/new/golf-estate-vii-pa/which-model-compare/details/2938#!#overview

Yes, I made an assumption, as there are so few for sale. I may look into what discounts are available, although I wanted nearly new if possible

I meant to add, I had also looked on carwow and it does not seem to be an option on their site

I have a quote from our lease car provider (company car) for a MY17.75 Golf GT 2.0d150 Estate (though interestingly, a Passat GT 2.0d150 Estate is £5 per month cheaper without options!) (and the Passat needs fewer options, because heated seats and climate control are standard)
