    I never said I was excited about it just that it is coming. Who knows it might look good.

    Sweet jesus that's horrible, could they stick anymore tacky chrome bits on the front?? and would you look at the state of those headrests on the killer seats...
    2012 Fabia meets Tucson it's their love child...
    Lol that made me laugh. I think it looks nice and chunky and certainly has more style than a VW Toerag.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    They still managed to carry over some dashboard switches/buttons from the 1998 Lancer.

    My guess Is the electric mirror switch? Everything else in the interior looks fairly modern

    New Honda HRV, that is one awkwardly-proportioned car. You could hide an entire family in the wheel arches

    Oh god, it's so bland! And look, they gave an entire dashboard position for the hazard button alone.

    Heated seat switches look like an afterthought and they had some left over from the Lancer. Steering wheel stalks look fairly standard Mitsubishi from the last 20 years too. Small things admittedly but these are the type of things that I tend to notice.

    Its might be bland but at least its tidy and classy although I agree the outside of the car us very dull. I prefer the last model more.

    It's very dull compared to the new Tucson or even a Peugeot 3008. The interior is very dull too. Big disappointment from Nissan. Maybe if this had come out 4 or 5 years ago ok but now it just looks bland and over styled on the wrong places.
    I hope the next Renault Kadjar is better than this.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    It's an improvement from the previous interior, which wasn't hard. The previous cabin was like a London taxi.

    On the same topic of old parts, my 14 Polo has the same coolant bottle as a 90s golf. I’m pretty sure the indicator stalks are from older VW’s too.

    That’s put me off the car completely now.

    If I owned one. I’d probably get it crushed now.

    So we're buying one of these to replace my Octavia RS, screenshots attached.

    Just have to do the haggle dance tomorrow with the dealership.

    I did load up on the options, was disappointed slightly that the upgraded sound system as well as a panoramic roof are not available on Irish cars but it is what it is.


    Comparing PCP to HP at the list price with a €6k deposit I will be going HP €460/month over 5 years compared to €409/month for 3 years with the notorious balloon payment.


    Obviously I hope to bring this down by some euros tomorrow. I'll let ye know how I get on.

    Why not the 1.5TSI? I think you'll find the 110bhp insufficient in the Octavia, especially coming from a VRS (Diesel I presume? :D )

    It'll add 3k or 50 euro a month but it's much more suited to the size of the car.

    If you haven't bought the car, I would have to also recommend you compare quotes with the 1.5 TSI 150bhp and see if it fits in your budget.

    I have it in my Karoq and it's fantastic - a very well reviewed engine on Boards with the manual or auto (mainly in Golfs, Octavia, Ateca etc).

    I'd agree. If it was me I'd go for the diesel. Seems to be very little price difference between PCP and HP, is the HP over 5 years?
    Sorry just saw it was over 5 years.. What interest rate is the HP? Is 0% available on PCP?

    That Blind spot isn’t worth €500, I’d sooner drop it and put the money towards the better engine.

    It’s a great feature, just not worth €500

    2.9% on PCP, 3.9% on HP.


    I done diesel twice, and my mileage just doesn't justify it. I only put up 29,500 miles over 4 years from new on the RS.

    I may go for the 1.5TSI depending on pricing. I don't really want to break the €500/month with a baby on the way.

    That's fair enough with that mileage, sensible decision. The 1 litre should be perfect for small mileage like that. Are you getting dsg or manual? DSG with the acc and the electric handbrake would make a lovely car.

    So deal done. Total price with change of VRT, delivery and the optional extras brought list price to just shy of €33k. Struck a deal at €31k.

    Left it as the 1.0L TSI and looking at a 12-16wk delivery time frame, covid dependent.

    HP @ 3.9% over 5 years working out at €455/month.

    No sold her to dealer in Dungarvan for €18k cash. Hopefully the next owner will enjoy it as much as I did.

    The RS are making good money these days.

    I think the clever money is on the 1.0 petrols in the new model. The higher end of the range are just too expensive.

    Looking for something to replace my Volvo V60, it does not work with a bad back.

    Strongly considering scrapping the wifes old Leon as well and getting a new Cupra Formentor as we don't need two motors anymore. Had a look at the 1.5 TSI in blue/grey or camo green. Its a very nice crossover. Opinions?
