Excellent!

2018 Octavia vRS, great fun to drive car and reliable. This car can do the best of both worlds - it is a practical family car that can return good economy (around 50 mpg) driving well.

Or you can drive fast and enjoy the sporty experience. 180 bhp version is fast even with the auto DSG box. 0-60 in under 8 second and it will do over 140 mph. On a private track of course :)

Great looking interior and exterior styling.

It was an expensive purchase initially, but the car is generally cheap to run (reasonable tax and insurance and good mpg), it is a lot of car for the money. Downside however if things go wrong it can be expensive to fix as any car can be! The only problem I have had is the oil consumption is a little excessive in my opinion, otherwise the car is perfect and I am on 60,000 miles now. Keep these cars serviced on time and change any belts are required, also give the DSG box a service to avoid problems. I have had mine over 2 years and still do not want to change it for anything!
