Hi all,

In the process of pushing the button on a brand new Octavia VRS.

What options to tick & not.

Also, how is the reliability?

Thanks all 👍👍

Hi

This is my 4th Octavia , 2 Estates (Company Cars) , 2 Hatchbacks 1.4 TSI Sport

I purchased an Octavia VRS Auto DRS Hatch in March in Royal Green. Reliability is sound , absolutely outstanding to drive , goes like **** off a shovel (warp factor 9), had more comments about the colour than all my other cars put together. Usually get about 45 - 50 mpg on a good motorway run. About 35 mpg when pottering about.

Packages , I went for the Winter package , heated front screen and steering wheel and seats ....Lush !!! Also spare wheel , don't like the gunk crap. rear wiper, wheels look great without the tacky plastic bits on them (which are easily removable) . Mine came with lane assist, cruise control, auto dip headlights etc. Didn't go for the other stuff as I didn't think it would be relevant for me IMHO. Infotainment sometimes goes weird, but the good old reboot cures that. Android Auto is great with Waze as Sat nav (sorts out where the Rozzers are 🙂)

Ordered in Sept 2024, build date was early March 2025, picked up early April 2025.

Its the best car I've had in 40 years of driving.

Can't think of anything else , I just love it 🙂

Cheers Dave
