NRMA Drivers Seat - 2011 Skoda Octavia RS

Video Description

The Czech car maker Skoda has been back in Australia for two years now but you would be forgiven for not knowing that. Despite figures of 1000 plus sales a year you don't see many Skodas on the road.

What most people don't know is that Skoda is owned by Volkswagen and that most Skodas are built off the underpinnings of the Golf.

Take the Octavia RS. It is, principally, a Volkswagen Golf GTI underneath with a Skoda body on top. The core mechanicals and chassis are shared.

The car we are testing is the new version of the RS. It comes with the 2.0-litre turbocharged four cylinder engine that was in the previous generation Golf GTI and is available in either a liftback (hatch) or wagon. There is also a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine for more frugal motoring.
