Octavia vRS vs Mk 8 Golf GTI

[Guzzle]

Is it just me or does that photo show that Skoda with a Mk7.5 style AID rather than the glitzy Mk8 one?

It may well be a slightly lower grade version. Hardware looks more like the one from the Tiguan / Polo to me but with different software. However not having had chance to see it in the metal i'm not really sure.

I quite like the fluffy dash insert.
I quite like the Octy vRS seats too.
There are quite a lot of things I quite like about the Octavia interior tbf.
It’s also quite nice looking outside.

It’s just too darn big a car. Way too big for me.

Bugger, I missed adding the rhyme on the end!

From my experience the extra size is felt through the longer wheelbase. So while the front end is still quite short and pointy like the Golf, it doesn't feel quite as nimble. On a straight road though it's only really when you look in your mirrors that you realise just how long it is.

Fluffy dash insert
Shiny buttons gleam in Spring
