Thread: ŠKODA Octavia wagon new

Half the engines plastic these days rocker covers sumps inlet manifolds the water fittings...

Have you considered a Passat Alltrack as an alternative to the Octavia?

Drove the Octavia RS yesterday.

A very nice car, but not for us.

I was looking for a new wagon couple of years back, the hit list included a Sube WRX & GR Corolla ( both to small for the amount of rifles n shit I carry to a range session ) Outback turbo, but the Skoda Superb Scout seemed to tick many boxes - plenty of grunt, ground clearance, matix headlights & well spec'ed.

Just went on the Skoda webby wtf has happened ? they use to have some decent HP motor options, seems to all be hybid low powered shite now.

Welcome to the new world, the brave new world.

You are only allowed to drive 15 mins between points, then you must recharge your EV batteries and check in for rechipping to access the next part of your journey.

I'm thinking it's going to be like the old Patrols and Safari's soon, 2005 you couldn't get rid of a Safari 24v with the TD42. Sold one to the uncle for $2500. He sold it recently to a guy that kept dropping in and upping his offer, finally reached a high enough price for the unc to part with it at just shy of $12K!!! This was a 1992 vehicle.

Yup it's farken crazy aye

I ended up buying a minta 2nd hand Ram laramie, 350 hemi with full mopar exhaust etc , Fuk yes go big, fast n loud

Son in law just bought a half fuked patrol for 4500. So far hes sold the body, engine, trans and transfer case, diffs, and lift kit, I think hes getting close to doubleing his money,

Have you looked at the Subaru's
Outback with either 2.5 or the Turbo which is closer to the turbo Superb.
Or if performance is more you thing the WRX wagon.
Both will be cheaper than the VW I expect but a different flavor.

on road the surperb will be handle better than the OB but the outback will be a more relaxed cruiser and definitly better on gravel or farm tracks than th scoda.
The WRX wagon will be better on road than the scoda but will also be smaller.
