Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Yes the old model Octavia is still built and sold brand new along side the current model Octavia. The old model is called the Octavia Tour.

    Octavia Tour:

    Newer model Octavia:

    The most noticable differences is the interior, the newer model is more modern on the inside

    Its also definately worth noting that the new one has much better road manners than the tour model.iTs more dynamic through the bends and has a smoother ride as well.The diesel engine is also slightly different.The new one has a 105bhp 1.9tdi whereas the tour has a 100bhp tdi.

    On a whole in general, i would think the extra one would pay for the new model is worth it.However, if your budget cant stretch to a new one, the tour offers very affordable motoring(60mpg approx and 150e road tax) and top build quality for a great price.I would get the combi tour model, though as i suspect the would be more deirable as a used car a few years down the line.

    No it doesnt in its standard spec but it can be ordered.It isnt on the new octavia in its most popular "ambiente" spec either, mind.The tour model does have pretty much everything other than ac, though.Alloys, leather streering wheel, gearknob and handbrake are all as standard
