Hi everyone

 

I am new here, I have read this forum from time to time thinking it was a British site, but it seems not. I have a 2017 Octavia vRS230 estate standard except I now have replaced 7.5" x 19" rims to 8.5" x 19" ones. Being I am in Australia I believe it is the same as the British product and around 100 of these were imported here, all manual. Mine was one of the last to be sold and it has every option the dealer could throw at it, there are some things I like and some not so much.  This is my second Volkswagen group car I have had my porevious vehicle was a 2006 Golf sportline 2.0 diesel with the 7.5x17 factory wheels. I loved the car it went extremely well (bit understeery) and returned around 5.0 L/100km  (yes we are metric here and I could converty it to mile/galln, same gallon here as UK, no heathens here). So now I have a car that expects 98 fuel and it came as a shock the difference in cost. That being said it is a great car to drive and tour in and I love the fact it will do nearly 100km/h in 2nd yet do 60km/h in 6th.

That's all I will say here for the moment, thanks for reading this.

cheers

Chris
