Skoda Octavia vRS (01-05) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
The Octavia vRS put Skoda on the hot-hatchback map in 2001 with an estate model following in 2003. Sharing components with the Mk IV Volkswagen Golf, using Volkswagen Group's 180bhp 1.8 turbo engine as well as the know-how of Skoda's skilled chassis engineers the Octavia vRS turned out to be a high performance bargain and a thoroughly enjoyable drive.

Four-wheel drive as standard, decent boot space, neat styling, WRX version is a strong performer

Cheap and dated interior, standard engines are lacklustre
