      @@dimsoneill Good purchase. I was very impressed when I sat in the normal Octavia’s and RS. To me the Octavia is a poor man’s 3 Series, but it’s built almost as good in terms of quality and materials like the suede on the dash as a 3 Series with basically the only difference being that it’s not RWD. Here in Australia the RS is $60,000 AUD so if I were to buy one I would wait a bit. I haven’t driven it yet as Victoria has been in lockdown more than anywhere in the world thanks to our dictator but with restrictions easing I may drive the RS. Skoda have certainly come a long way.

    The new Cupra symbol - It's an emblem. It symbolises the sense of belonging to a clan, the CUPRA clan”, says Jordi Font, the head of Color & Trim at SEAT. “The design of the inverted triangle was modelled on the attitude of tribal civilisations, on their courage and daring”, he adds.

    Not only do I really like the styling of those emblems, for some reason I'm also just enamored with the coloring. Especially combined with black or dark grey body color, that dark copper is really sweet. I believe for my next car I'll be looking for a similar color combo, though unfortunately Cupra hasn't made its way to the US, but maybe VW or Audi?

    I have to say that is one good looking car for its class. I'm not a fan at all of the SUV thing so the flatter, more sporty look is really appreciated, and the styling is cool but not obnoxious. Even the interior looks great for its class/price, I like it!
    But i also have to agree that the Cupra branding is a bit weird. Not with the "medieval" argument from Matt, i just think it looks a little bit to much as if its made to look cool. It's like "gamer" accessoires, always a bit too tacky/flashy.

    I’m driving a Born for a few months. It looks and drives awesome and that logo projected on the floor at night makes me feel like I’m getting into a Batmobile.
    However it’s software is awkward. Infotainment system is a little slow and janky. Opening the main menu (where you need to go to change from comfort to range or sport mode) takes at least 30 seconds to load when the car just starts and on average 2 seconds when it’s running.
    Also the car always forgets your last setting and defaults to “comfort” which is super annoying. The app which should help you control charging also sucks. Made me walk to my car at midnight because it supposedly stopped charging only to find it charging just fine
