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.

Octavia all day long. Brilliant car for the money 💰. Suitable for family days out and great fun on a solo drive too 👍

5:10 Matt, this switch is indeed near by the steering wheel! You should already noticed that Englishman drives on the wrong side of the road. And that's why this switch is on the "wrong" side.

Always found it weird that people call the octavia a hot hatch, I mean I know it might be “technically” but it’s clearly a saloon

You guys telling this with your beautiful V8 cars... here with stupid regulations We can't have proper new cars. I think your V8s are my favourites. My dream car is a Dodge challenger hellcat or demon.. here you have to pay a lot of punitive tax on them. And no Cybertruck either.. and again because of the stupid regulations.

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.

It’s a much nicer product. Bodies quite nice from what it was. Wasn’t really a fan though I appreciated what it was and allowed to be being the “runt” of the VAG group
