Hy there guys,

I am about to purchase one sweet Octavia 3 RS. Having at the moment one focus mk3 ST diesel(185HP)and one Wv Eos(2.0tfsi-200hp stock, remapped-240HP), I fiind it difficult to choose between these 2 models of Octavia though I’ve seen many vlogs about both diesel and petrol engine. I have to mention that the car will serve my familly and also my passion for sport driving.

Fyi..either type I’ll choose, it shall be remapped ASAP. Soo... what’s your advice?

 

Not sure whether you are based in the UK and what age of Mk3 RS Octavia you are considering but the DSG models should prove more economical than the manuals because thet have a coasting function either petrol or diesel. I've owned the 181bhp 2015 Vrs diesel and the 242bhp petrol Vrs245 and the diesel only averaged 45mpg and diesel is slightly more expensive here than petrol which averaged 40mpg over 29,000 miles. Remap the 245 to stage 1 which resulted in 302bhp (up from 249bhp) and then stage 2 at 336bhp. Personally I wouldn't buy another diesel Skoda as my wife's petrol 1.5TSi manual Karoq has just achieved 66.2mpg after now doing 25,000 miles since new 28 months ago.Welcome to Briskoda lots of info on here to absorb.
