Pulled up behind this today. Those GTI drivers out there, have you ever considered an Octavia? I'm a big fan of wagons in general (love the Audi Avants) but you don't see a lot of performance wagons in Oz except for the Holden SS Sportwagon or the Chrysler 300C.

They have the same running gear as a GTI, but obviously a bit heavier. Still as a family rocket, the tuning options are immense! If you read last months Hot Tuner comp in Motor Mag, so many companies do VW upgrades.

VW R36 wagons go pretty hard. Nice lookin too

I'm a huge fan of perormance wagons too, and a fan of Skoda, but unfortunately the RS badge ins't enough to turn the Octavia platform into a high performance car. It would need AWD and 200kw before that happened.

That was the reason I didn't buy one they need an Octavia RS with a Golf R/S3 drivetrain! They are also based on the Golf V which means 147kw motor and no Electronic Diff Lock, though that is just a fancy term for clever use of ABS and traction control

I stand corrected. R36's are awesome.

Glad there are other wagon lovers out there.
