Test of Octavia RS Wagon 2.0TFSI (they liked it a lot) and also an Octavia Elegance 2.0FSI with lots of extras (they didn't like it at all).

Oops, credit where it's due, the write up is from Webwombat, not GoAuto. Sorry... but the link is fine.

Came across this Petrol vs Diesel Octavia comparo.

A rare case of choosing petrol over diesel for drivability...
