Skoda Octavia vRS review (19/07/2014)

THERE are few more sickening things in life than making a mess of someone else’s car.

Of course, in this particular game, it is something that can come with the territory and there have been many times in the past 30 years or so of doing this job that tests have not always gone to plan.

But — be it maturity, or the fact I just getting old and slow — in recent years there have been very few incidents where I had to make a dreaded call to any company PR person to tell him or her that their brand new wonder car was not now quite what it had once been. Sadly, that run of luck, or good fortune, came to an end recently when I nerfed the new Skoda Octavia vRS.
