180kw and 370Nm propels this car from 0-100kmh in 6,6 seconds. It has all the safety kit you could want, a cool, but practical interior and an awsome exterior.

Great no nonsense review and had all the specs and details. Plenty of features displayed and informed you what is true,, navigation is not worth the extra money since I use my Apple phone plugged in to my 2.0 liter Octavia, works perfectly well. I am upgrading to VRS end of June after viewing many reviews like this. Thank You For The Review!
love this car ! nice look interior exterior good money a good engine !
I love skoda octavia !
Thanks for the video. I've just ordered the vRS245 black pack. The only options I I specified are the black paint and the adaptive cruise.
The full-length sunroof is awesome as well.
Hello and welcome to Transalvania. Count Dracula here.
😂😂😂😂
Got this car and colour, but the wagon version. I love it! I have the last update before the 4th gen, with virtual cockpit and updated infotainment. The best version IMHO.
Same trick diff as the Golf GTi PERFORMANCE, not the standard GTi.
This thing needs AWD and a set of new rims.
AWD yes, the rims in person are stellar.
Nice color.....nice car;-)
As usual, very good video! What do you think about the dsg? Is it better than the manual?
For this car - jes, DSG all the way. It just makes sense for a car like this. For a GTI maybe i would go for the manual. If you want your RS to have any residual value at the end of ownership, DSG is the way to go. Manuals drop ther price like crasy.
Go the DSG 7-speed, it's pretty awesome.
2 questions. What about the real fuel consumption and also the 4x4 how much back and forward divide the traction in this new model ?? Thanks
It's FWD and real-world I'm averaging around 8 L/100km.
Hello man! Love your videos. Is it possible to get a Golf MK5 1.9 or 2.0 tdi to the test? I'm interested in buying one and I'm looking for information. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the kind words! Will do my best to get my hands on one of them :)
No such thing as an electric boot in the sedan version I'm afraid, only the station wagon has that option.
RS comes with amundsen as standard so there is no way to exclude the navigation and save money... just cant do that
Mate, 2 questions - what is the name of the color on this car(steel grey or brilliant grey metalic). How does the difference feel between comport and sport mode on DCC suspension?
The colour is Steel grey and yes, it would be my pick of the bunch :) The difference for the suspension is there, but not that noticeable really... can't say it was an uncomfortable car in any way at any setting, the steering feel gets harder in Sport and that you notice more in my opinion.
Thanks for reply. This is a demo car or you own it?
This was a demo car from Skoda Tallinn
The colour is Meteor Grey, looks awesome in the metal, doesn't come across as well on video. I brought the wagon version of this car, and it's brilliant.
How is the road noise? I see lot of complaints on forums about insulation savings...
Not that bad actually - not a new german saloon of cource, but i'd say comparable to a 2005-2010 BMW 3 series or A4 ect.
Can't hear it with the Caton 13 speaker stereo cranking or with sport mode turned on. Love this car.
Is the DSG7 reliable?
Yep.
My friend,fuel consumption?
Well, it was around 10 l/100km for me - but i drove it enthusiastically most of the time i had it, so definetaly could get a better resoult.
misterivan75 6 kmpl..
I´m driving my 245 with avg. 10.5 - 11 since 3 months.
around 8.2L/100kms real world if you don't fang around in it. But that is hard in this car 'cause it is so fun to drive fast.
This needs the GOLF R engine , better wheels and 4 x 4 ..... just like the Superb Sportline
I believe it has the same engine. The golf R has a different tune and a much bigger turbo
The sound is a sound generator behind the dash. I.e. fake
Is it too stiff with 19inch tyres?
The regular RS i drove had 18-s, i really could not tell the difference. The RS is not too stiff for my liking in any alloy size - like the 19s, get them!
The 19s with ACC means you get the best of both worlds. Comfort mode with the 19s is plush.
Is that gearbox have 7 speed?
Actually no, 7 speed in the 245 :)
Yes!
No! 6 speed!
The regular RS has a 6 speed DSG, but the RS 245 has the new 7 speed DSG
The VAG 2.0 turbo can handle a lot! If only it had 4wd..
What more do you need? AWD.
Try the FWD, it's mad fun with that trick diff. Pulls you around and out of corners, brilliant. Good enough for the GTi performance, good enough for you!
@@dimsoneill Lol yes that's true but still prefer my WRX AWD.
6:02 thats harsh😂
I have this car on my shortlist. with the Kia optima Gt as contender for my new car. thing i really dislike about the Skoda is the wheels and plastic interior. i find the rims so horrible, so that alone is 1000 euro minimum extra for decent rims. You get cooling in the seats in Optima, Cooled glove department in the skoda, more safety features in the optima( also included without extra costs like in the skoda), But slightly higher fuel economy and price. The optima has better crash scores, bigger boot, better guarantee ( 7 years or 150.000 km) Skoda has more power, easier to tune due to being a golf gti engine. I'm still unsure, i Know in 2020 the new Version of Skoda Octavia comes. i might hold off 2 years, Dunno.
I have driven both and I brought the Skoda. Hands down a better car all around. Drive both and you will see what I mean. The Interior in the Kia was not up to standard, cheap-looking and boring.
Dashboard design is dull
Better than the Cupra for me
@@SilverhillDrives Defo looks better than any Seat interior especially with the new virtual cockpit
Actually, it is really really good, virtual cockpit great, infotainment great, good quality finishing and the seats are awesome in Alcantara and leather. Electronically heated massage seats too.
Those wheels are foul
I have the 19" rims and in real life they look awesome!
DSG IS SO BORING 😴
What a useless rant!
