Skoda Octavia Generations | Gone But Not Forgotten - Episode 10 | 2022 | evo India

[@evoIndia]

Do you have any memories of the Skoda Octavia? Let us know in the comments below!

[@sudheernazimudeen7041]

My uncle used to work in skoda and he used to bring home their demo car, an yellow octavia vrs. I got to experience the performance in it as a passenger and it was simply mind boggling. In my opinion the turbo lag was a boon, because once the turbo spooled up you are kicked back into the seat as it took off like a freight train. The power delivery simply had a unique character. It is still my dream to get my hands on one.

[@sirishch]

The first European car I tested way back in 2000. What a machine

[@jimmysanjana]

No memories, just reality.I still drive my 2007 1.9 TDi Octy daily. Even the Alpine music system is original. Great video I must say !

[@rohansingh4327]

One of the best review i have ever seen on youtube. i just hope evo India keep making these

[@arjunjeevaraj661]

The instrument cluster of the Octavia is kind of a portal to a myriad of emotions . It makes u smile with the speedometer, can surprise you with the fuel economy readings in the MID. And then, it can downright scare you ,when some component or the other acts up & the warning lights light up the cluster like a Christmas tree 😁 the car really is an emotional roller coaster, but boy it does have a soul!

[@dxbrane]

This has to be the best episode on Evo India. Period. Skoda Combi was a gem. Too bad we don't get station wagons here.

[@amirtaraj]

Octavias have always been my dream car, from the MK1 1.9 TDI which had performance without compromise on efficiency and vRS is altogether in a different league. Even the MK4 which is the cheapest way to get the amazing 2.0 TSI making it a poor man's Audi, but not in terms of Features, means real features that are useful, like a liftback tailgate, and plenty of Simply Clever features make it a perfect car and the last standing D segment sedan. Kudos to Evo India for this great Gone But Not Forgotten series!

[@evoIndia]

Spittin facts!

[@sirishch]

Thank you!

Brilliant episode! Octavia was my first car crush back during college days. I feel lucky to have been able to buy the 1.8 tsi in 2018! It’s not just a car, it’s all heart ❤️

[@ashutoshs3189]

first generation octavia sedans is a legend made by skoda i love TDI diesel engine they are so powerful and fun to drive feels like im driving a tank

[@ps2516]

We brought ours in 2018,A base line mk3.5 1.4 TSI with a manual gearbox,without a doubt the most underrated car ever to come to india and it was sad that car never really got any exposure,despite being a base model,its packs enough equipment to make it a great daily driver, and 1.4 tsi with that manual is a gem of an engine,you really won't miss 1.8 unless you plan to do really silly speeds,its more then adequate and crazy on efficiencey with me clocking even more then 21km/L on few occasions and 11-12 being the worsr figures in bumper to bumper traffic,supremly refined and amazing to drive,sure today there are so called suvs and even the new slavia and vitrus with a similar powered engine,but the class of the octavia remains unmatched for me,whenver i sit inside the quality,the comfort,the performance,it just makes me happy that we brought this car for us,in today's world people are getting more and more seduced by features like sunroof,air purifier,etc,cars aren't smartphones or gadgets,they are meant to be driven,they are supposed to ensure you and your passengers safety,they are supposed make you feel relaxed in heavy traffic with refinement and smoothness,and comfort you enough to push on through demanding indian roads and at times watch your back when u decide to push hard,to get back in control when you do findyouself out of,all these things is what an octavia does brilliantly,for that reason i really don't have to care about anything else and i consider myself lucky to have gotten the octavia expirence at a decent price.Sure the new mk4 is a tad expensive but just becaude it has few features missing doesn't mean its a car that you will pass on,own one and you will understand why anyone that brought one of these whether from mk1 to mk3 to RS,couldn't go back to anyone else.Its simply clever,a simply brilliant sedan.

[@sandeepsaran4738]

Great content. Evo India is way ahead in its content and presentation from other competitors. I own a 4th gen Octavia and it is not just a car but an emotion called passion that I drive everyday. There is a good reason why Octavia is still holding its ground when other D segment sedans have been discontinued. It is simply the best. I wish there are more takers for such a well build and fun to drive sedan.

[@dhruvshetty.95]

I still remember, we couldn't afford an Octavia, but my Grandfather called one for a test drive nonetheless. A shiny red Octavia. Low seating, that boot opening along with the glass. It was all something else. We needed up buying a Ford Fusion on loan instead. But I always wondered, had we bought that Octavia, it would've been to treat to own it when I grew up. Unfortunately we can't keep diesel cars over 10 years in Delhi. So many cars going to waste.

The VW group did not give 4wd Haldex system of the Golf GT to a Skoda cars, imagine a Skoda RS with 245hp getting a 4wd and how awesome it would be Common VW group you can give pricey luxury cars a tuff competition and you could really get very good volumes

[@avinashclt]

VAG provided haldex 4wd in Skoda always with a lower output than the VW/Skoda equivalent model. Quite a conscious decision I imagine. Octavia/Yeti/Superb got haldex awd only with 1.8 TSI and never with 2.0TSI (except recently since 1.8tsi has been discontinued and low spec 190PS 2.0TSI was introduced). When the Superb got the 3.6VR6 is haldex AWD, again the engine output was 260PS whereas the Passat/CC had 300PS variants.
