Small things make the new Skoda Octavia super

SMALL things mean a lot in life and no less so in the motoring world.

Thus the new special edition Skoda Octavia vRS ‘230’ is only different from the regular 2.0 TSI vRS by the small matter of just 10 bhp and although this might not seem like much, but when allied to a carefully thought out suite of other additions, the result is nearly startling.

The ‘230’ designation is the output level of this special edition vRS and is certainly an indication of overall intent — if not malice aforethought — but it is the battery of other stuff that Skoda has thrown at this machine which combine to make it a beast of a completely different colour to its’ lesser vRS sibling.
