REVIEW: 2025 Škoda Octavia vRS 265BHP - Driven on the Isle of Man!

[@stewartdillon9376]

Crazy, I live in the isle of man, I was looking for a 24 octavia vrs estate in blue for weeks. I just collected one from kent at the start of December!! How didn't i know this was here

[@BrownCarGuy]

To be fair these were probably manufacturer press cars brought there just for the media drive so would not have been available to dealers.

How is the Sound outside?

If it is anything like my Mk4 SEL it tells you which driving mode you are in via icons in the virtual cockpit.

[@martynbywater]

Worth noting the adjustable electronic dampers (DCC) is an optional extra, not standard.

[@luismanuelruzzi349]

Negative, comes as standard on the new version.

@@andrejmatjasic146really? Interesting! In Italy many things were included as standard on this new version, I got a great deal, fully specced, suedia interior etc. I left out the canton system because the normal one was good enough for me and I didn’t want any subwoofers lying around.

​@@luismanuelruzzi349nah its extra here. About £1k extra too which takes it over £40k for the car affecting the road tax price even more. Stupid.

Annoying speed warning pings you could hear when driving through built up areas, that needs turning off along with stop/start and lane assist!

[@Dixy_1989]

Alloys are horrific

[@sergedupond1768]

The black plastic cover on the rim is useful in improving the CD of the car. Indeed, it is very ugly, but fortunately It is possible to remove it to keep only the original rim, which is really beautiful.

Agreed like wheel trims 😢
