I’ve got a 2006 VRS. Great car, never broken down and has barely needed anything than basic servicing since new. But 14 years of development and all that’s changed is a slightly bigger turbo on the same engine and a tablet on the dashboard. In the same time I’ve gone from owning a Nokia LCD phone to a Smartphone with 4K video and Elon Musk has gone from sticking laptop batteries in a 2nd-hand Lotus to making supercar-beating family cars, a global charging infrastructure and made space travel routine. Not only that, but the price of a new VRS has almost doubled since 2006. If manufacturers want my money, they need to sell me something I don’t own already and at 2x what I paid for it.

It is. Essentially anyway, it's a hatchback which is pretty much same in my mind but with less marketing bs. You can also get an estate / wagon, whatever you want to call those. This is most practical of all although only about 50 more ltrs than the hatch. The estate allows for pan roof too, if that's your thing. To me, an AWD diesel VRS wagon, remapped for a bit more go, with adaptive suspension and cruise, lane keep etc is pretty much the perfect budget-ish does everything car.

This new generation of Skoda does look quite good, I'll give you that. As to whether they look better then Audis, I guess it depends on the car. The A3 looks like hot garbage to me so the Octavia wins hands down in this class. I think Audi's lost their way in terms of design this generation. You do get some pretty innovative designs like the A7, but even that car is a massive disappointment compared to the old one which was easily the sexiest car in their lineup.

Hi, I got it in January. The car is great and the manual gearbox is brilliant. I didnt drive the mk4 auto but I did the mk3 and even though everyone loves autos, I still hate them. I enjoy driving and autos just don't cut it for me. However a word of warning, driving and mechanical the car is brilliant. Technology, its terrible. The user interface with no buttons is unintuitive, the voice command is completely pointless as normal, and there's a variety of glitches such as the heater controls disappearing and last sat nav destinations not being saved. If you look on the briskoda website you'll see loads of others having the same. Great car, infotainment is 'bleeding edge' and just not good enough.

I've got a Skoda Kodiaq, and I both can cycle driving mode by pressing button, and turn off stabilty by pressing/long pressing dedicated button. Really weird why it is not so in this car...

Hey Matt, thanks for the video! It just so happens this was uploaded as I was walking out of the door to go to a Skoda dealership to go and order mine and in the same race blue colour! Thanks to Carwow for saving me close to £4k on it also! Cant wait to pick it up 😊

Have the 2019 245 estate. It’s insanely well rounded, i can get 47 mpg . And it will leave a basic GTI standing with the 20year old boys that drive them. Its a classy car, that says i dont care if you have £400 per month to spend on the exact same car with 4 circles on the front grill. Team shccoda here!!!
