I nearly bought one this week but changed my mind, they look a wee bit dated though since the new one come out, and they just remind me of a taxi!

i agree with the taxi/octavia inbreeding. But the vrs has lots of potential to be a belter i think!

Wise man's Passat imho.
But you can go on forever tbh.
Want an Audi A4? Get a Passat! Want a Passat? Get an Octavia.

A lot of car for the money. I love the interior in them as well.

Taxi!
Not a fan of the Octavia, but then I wouldn't buy a Passat / A4 either.
I do quite like the Fabia, just wish they done it in a 3dr

I think you'll find not. Octavia, Passat and A4 are the same size. Skoda don't really make a Golf competitor as the Fabia is more a Polo imho.

The octavia competes against the Astra, Focus, Megane, Auris, Leon etc..
It is in C segment and Passat is in the D.
It would be the new Superb that is competing for sales from the A4, Passat etc...
