I ordered my vRS in red - but the color was discounted so I had to change it - my son picked BLACK  so black, on black, on black....

found a better picture of graphite grey, but it's a sportline model

Race blue for me. Red and white where the other colours I’d considered. 

All you people here saying Black on Black on Black reminds me of this song always.

When we walked to the dealer from the parking lot we walked past beautiful Steel Grey Octavia vRS Combi. Steel Grey was THE ONLY color me and especially my wife wanted because it’s just soooo cool color and our Fabia 1.0TSI DSG Monte Carlo Combi we traded in was Steel Grey and we both loved it. Our plan was to order FWD TDI vRS Combi without almost any extras. We walked to the salesman an he said THE COLOR is discontinued!

Aaargh. I was thinking maybe that new green or white. So we then asked is that new Octavia vRS outside sold. And salesman said no. Well turned out it was Octavia Combi vRS TDI 4x4 with almost asl extras but pano roof. It was the only one that color in Finland left. I was oh ****e that is expensive model… So I said to my wife and salesman that I have to go walk around other cars and think about it. When I came back my wife just said to me

”honey we already made the paperwork and I signed, It’s ours and we get in 5 days!”😁

 

ps. That Steel Grey color cost us 14K€🤣

 

pps. On the drive home I asked my wife what happened. She said ”Have you forgot, If I go to buy car I don’t want to wait months and months I want it now and I wanted Steel Grey no matter what, I don’t care how much it costs if I want it and If I want something I will always get it!” I was like okay…women😁I have to admit 4x4 is very useful in Finnish snowy winter and it’s a great car to drive😊We both love it.

 

 

She’s a keeper!

Thanks for all your help folks, it has really assisted. Placed an order this evening for the estate in Race Blue (with a couple of options 😉 ).

 

Now just got to settle in for the looooong wait.

Whats up with women and colors. I have to admit that i would not be getting a Mamba green RS IV without my GF.

I had the opposite problem. My wife vetoed hyper green 😂

My wife was very explicit that Mamba Green is the only option she will consider from the list of available colors, when Steel/Meteor Grey was discontinued.

 

The Phoenix Orange was not yet available then, it might have been a contender, but she's definitely partial to the green one.

 

So yes, wifes seem to be quite particular about their choices 🙂 Fortunately, I agree with her most often in my preferences, so noone is cross about the outcome.

Yeah we're also quite similar in taste. it was mamba green with RS or race blue with e-etec
When we were looking at a EV for GF, we almost got the Kiwi green Citigo-e. Would have been nice with the next year arriving Mamba green  Ended up with Chester blue Mii electric since it has 5yo warranty and found a good one with 1500km mileage.

white for me since it is my company car and I must remain discreet otherwise I would have the choice red

I went for moon white. Wife says that with the black trim it looks like a stormtrooper. I'll take that.

Steel Grey / Meteor Grey

 

 

Batmobile Black with green and purple lighting inside. To the bat cave (or Wetherspoons), which ever is closest!

Mamba green coming hopefully in two months. Won't loose it in the mall parking.
