The latest version of the Skoda Octavia RS is the definition of a sleeper car, with gobs of power, excellent handling, and understated looks.
What’s great
- It’s unflappable, staying rock steady even at high speeds.
- Plenty of power on tap from the 2-litre, turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine.
- Swallows up passengers and cargo without fuss so that everyone can go along for the ride.
What’s good
- Decent fuel economy when pootling around town.
- A sporty yet comfortable interior, perfect for boyracers and their families.
- Sleeper cars are undeniably cool, and the Octavia RS is one of the best examples of that.
What’s not great
- While there are physical buttons, the air-con controls are only accessible through the screen.
- The rear passengers have a fairly large central tunnel to contend with, which is not ideal for seating three in the back.
