2016 ŠKODA Superb Wagon Review

Sat, 02 Apr 2016 00:00:00 Z

One of the most handsome wagons on the market; unprecedented value for money; enormous cabin space; loads of features; turbo-four from Golf R; good ride and handling; plenty of new tech.
More expensive than Volkswagen's top-shelf Passat Alltrack (but more fun too); fuel consumption is high when you're on it.

Q car, stealth fighter - the new Octavia RS is a wolf in casual clothing

Fri, 07 Feb 2014 00:00:00 Z

IT’S chips or straws, a toss-up between the petrol DSG and the diesel manual versions of Skoda’s Octavia RS, due in Australia next month. The turbo twosome promise sporty motoring, VW Group quality, distinctive styling and, relatively, a discount sticker. Backing the RS sporting claims, the badge first appeared on a Skoda 130 rally car in 1975, then was affixed to an Octavia 16 years ago. The maker is keen to uphold this connection with the latest crop, which doesn’t overdo it on the exterior trappings the way some wannabes do. But for the plus‒size alloys and red brake calipers, they could almost pass for Q cars. Skoda reckons the RS will account for better than 10 percent of Octavia sales.
