Skoda Octavia RS Hatchback test drive since 2009 hatchback

RAZUMN SOMENTERS

The combination of sports and practicality Skoda Octavia RS did not plow this successful cocktail. Moreover, she added freshness to him and an additional charge of vigor.
Octavia RS went along the beaten path of its direct German relatives VW Golf GTI and Scirocco: acquired a 2.0 TSI turbo engine and a DSG gearbox. There are no increase in power and the moment formally, but the machine has undoubtedly modern. Especially in the responsiveness and purity of the work of the transmission. And as before, it is able to give a charge of adrenaline, while remaining practical and once again practical. By the way, out of 60,000 buyers of such cars in Europe, more than two -thirds have chosen a station wagon!
Octavia RS sports is not demonstrative, but will not go unnoticed. The point is not only in juicy colors or a body crushed for half -inch. The image is whole! It is in small spoilers, and in the SS nameplates, and in the design of the salon (especially in the top version of Supreme, where the prostrated skin dominates). Steel overlays of pedals, seized chubby steering wheel and again RS wool.
She tries to be, and not just seem! Squeezing of the suspension is relatively simply octavia call stiffness. This is a combination of elasticity and energy intensity, giving RS a good feeling of sticking to the road. Even on the mountain serpentine, demolition is much less than one might expect. Even the nervousness of low -profile tires in the asphalt rink of the chassis levels to almost non -straining. With dynamic driving, two higher gears are simply not needed, you forget about them in exchange for confident accelerations and the life of the engine in the zone of the shelf of the torque. But when you need to observe decency, it is they who help, providing the average consumption of about 7.5 liters per hundred
You begin to go about a sporting spirit to a spacious salon that seems like a bottomless trunk and a huge landing adjustment range. Do you start about the dynamics, do you finish spoilers and nameplates with everyday amenities and saving compromises around? But is it bad if you do not intend to buy half a dozen cars for all occasions? And with the beginning of the Kaluga assembly, having retained the basic price within a million already current rubles, Octavia RS can become interesting to such car owners who most appreciate the machines a very rare, but practical combination of universality and sports nature.
