RE: Skoda Octavia vRS facelift: Review

[JackReacher]

I'm in the minority but actually think the facelift looks good having seen it in the flesh at Geneva. I think it's one of those designs that will grow on you, but I don't understand why they didn't make a change at the back as well, maybe some wider rear lights like the superb would have looked better.

Also, why do they insist on putting 19" wheels on the quicker version with diff, not everyone wants big wheels.

I for one like the front end. Something different and the lines work as a whole if you stop staring at the pics.

And he's no longer employed by Skoda. Make of that what you will...

Yeah he has gone to head the design team at BMW, sounds like career advancement to me rather than anything else

Shame no 4WD with petrol.

Not fan of the front lights, rears look much nicer imo only a small change but seems to make the car look more modern.

i have a 2015 vrs and generally pleased with it - the rear wheels being spaced out a little more should certainly make it look better - my model they look too far in and just looks odd

I'm pretty glad I bought a 2016 model.

Not a fan. I'd get a Superb 280 over the VRS now.
