Mainz 21 August 2013 – The previous one rarely sees on the street, but the Octavia RS must have such a positive response that Skoda brings a third edition of the sporty pragmatist on the market. We were able to test the gasoline to the engine from the Golf GTI already.
fast as a GTI, but practical
RS-presentation Skoda offers a gasoline and a diesel engine, which both come naturally from the VW rack and also be used in the in-house competitors Golf GTI and GTD. The turbo engines are united by a displacement of two liters, the petrol engine 220, the diesel 184 hp. If one is aiming generously over the thumb to RS and GTI / GTD differ in comparable versions neither the price nor in the dynamics values significantly. But who has ever tried to strangle a baby stroller in the trunk of golf, you will appreciate the major difference between the three and five-door hatchbacks, VW and Skoda: The Octavia RS is available as a five-door sedan and station wagon. The latter makes up the race in the customer’s favor, according to Skoda RS sold 95 percent of all have a tail with combi valve.
Stark is not quite as clear is the distribution between petrol and diesel, the diesel engine is located in Germany again.
Out from below
An extra prescription directs the sound generator motor noise into the interior. While that creates a nice pithy sound when full speed with the petrol, the diesel is only just loud. The gasoline engine turns sharply from the revs about 4000 rpm greedy and depends on the gas. Overtaking is done quickly on the road and who wants to follow the Octavia on the highway, quite a lot has to bring.
Although the 15 millimeter lowered sports suspension passes on many bumps on the occupants, but once it is curvy, tight to the base is a source of joy. Thanks to standard-progressive steering can be steered around bends agile athletes, because you have to turn the control during rapid right-left combinations far less than a normal steering. The factory-fitted electronic differential lock at the front takes care of the tracking stability by specifically braking the inner wheel with traction loss. That the Golf GTI, the serpentine wagging a track feels more agile, is due to the fact that the Wolfsburg is about forty centimeters shorter than the Octavia. Makes fun of the handle knob to the exact six-speed manual transmission, only the paths are a bit too long. Who often delegated work, switching can also be from the 1800-euro DSG can be removed <- googleoff: index ->.
