Finally I found it. I found out how deep the trunk is, well done, thank you :D up to 1400L, when the seats are flipped over. Not a helpful measurement, if I want to load a bicycle, that needs at least 1.70 length. It is really a pain in the butt, to find the measurements of the trunk of a car. Nice, that you are regularly provide us with that information, again, thank you :) By the way, the octavia is extremely beautiful. For me, the octavia, with the little higher comfort, quietness of the golf, would be perfect. But yeah, looks like my next car :)

I have had my Octavia iV Estate for just under a week now (my third Octavia). It is certainly a very smooth car to drive and I am impressed by the regenerative braking in S-mode. Foot off the accelerator, the car slows quickly and full rate of charge is achieved. But do the brake lights come on? If not, the degree of deceleration is likely to surprise the following driver.

Thomas, Vehicle Manufacturers Terminology is sometimes unclear. Diesel, Petrol & EV are unambiguous. However, Hybrid is a different story. Some have electric motors exclusively powering the vehicle, with an engine to recharge the batteries, while others (perhaps the majority) have a Petrol engine powering the vehicle, with battery assistance for torque and power regeneration while going down hill, for example. Is there Universal Terminology to differentiate between these? Please state unambiguously within your reviews. I believed Mazda CX30 was to be Electric Motors, with a Petrol Engine to recharge the battery, but now I am unsure if that is true.
