Review
I tested the car today and can confidently say it outperforms many high-end cars, offering comparable features at a more affordable price due to COE. Jason Koh, the Skoda salesperson, provided excellent service, allowing me an extensive test drive in less crowded areas to truly experience the car's performance. The power and interior quality impressed me, especially the sport seats. My only concern is the long-term reliability; I hope the car remains trouble-free.

Review
Been driving for a week, and I love this car. Drove a 2019 Avante previously, this Octavia RS has a totally different feel.
Its a great family car, with sufficient space for rear passenger. Ample boot space to haul all my stuff (Pram, kids stuff, bags, etc).
Great for family trips or alone when you have the need for speed.
Before you buy the standard big 3 german branded cars, do check this Octavia out and have a test drive.
Dont be concerned about the miles per gallon, because it brings SMILES per gallon.

What I like
- Dynamic Chassic Control (DCC). Allows me to stiffen suspension for a fun drive, or soften for cruising around with the family
- EA888 Engine. Same used on Golf GTI, Audi S4, etc
- Power/torque is felt starting from 1,500 RPM
- Individual drive setting
- Autohold function
- Front seat is comfortable, with good side support when doing tight turns.
- Nice interior
- Large boot size with hooks on the sides
- LED Matrix Headlight that will intelligently light up road signs without blinding cars in front.
- Relatively quiet exhaust compared to it's BHP. I cannot stand those "Ah-Beng" aftermarket exhaust that makes a loud noise but cannot go fast
- Overtaking is a breeze. Most car won't be able to challenge.
- Rear USB C, 2 ports
- Soft Closing boot. (Go compare against the other german car's electric tailgate, some closes like a van door. You will know what I mean.)
- Wireless Android Auto what connects quite quickly.
- Interior ambient lightning that is customizable.
- Exterior styling. Just the right touch of black trimming without being too "Ah-Beng"
- 19" Rims with unique design
- Not a common car on the roads.
- It's a sleeper car. Most people wont know this car is fast.
- DSG should be reliable as this is a 7-speed wet system. (To be confirmed)

What I do not like
- Aircon setting via touch screen. Need to get used to it.
- Need to on the aircon recirculation function everytime I start the car. The autofunction does not start right away.
- Adaptive cruise control. The closest following distance from the front car is still quite far, so when you are close to the front car and you on the ACC, the car will brake on its own. I got shocked a few times.
- Front seat has no place to put hooks, like those behind headrest. I need to hang my food in the boot.
- Small cup holders in the front middle.
- The augmented engine sound from the speakers is fun at the beginning, but it irritates me after a while. I would switch it off and enjoy my music.

Review
Likes:
-Full of techs and clever features
-Plenty of space for rear
-Pretty quick
-7 speed dsg shifts seamlessly and so buttery
- 2 in 1. Can be a very comfortable daily or u can transform it into different animal with the switch of a button.
-Pretty headlights & rear lights and muscular body lines

Dislikes:
-Sg has no tri-climate thus no usb-c ports at the rear unlike those sold in europe
-No HUD unlike those sold in europe
- rear tranmission tunnel is quite high

Review
My thoughts after two months of ownership

Likes:
- it is really engaging to drive, yet comfortable and spacious enough with the family. But yes, it can be a beast when you want that thrill, or it can be a sleeper car waiting to be triggered.
- fully loaded with safety tech like Adaptive Cruise Control with full come to stop and resume (best for cruising but esp during peak hour traffic), front assist, blind spot, lane keep assist reserve assist, can set two different interior ambient lights (one for top, one for footwell)
- boot space, omg. I had 2 strollers and 1 scooter, used it as a storeroom. LoL
- electric memory seats, with massage function. Turn on the heated seats and it feels shiok
- interior looks so modern and nice with the Alcantara
Materials (compared with others I was looking at like stinger)
- sports bucket seats comfy but holds u during corners
- the front electronic differential (VAQ), it works really well and fun. You can get some 'drifting' and tire screeching fun but at safe levels. At times, you might tot you are driving a 4wd
- dynamic chassis Control, u can go soft, hard, or use individual profile modes
- a row of shortcut buttons that is really useful instead of some cars that to fully digital for infotainment
- the virtual cockpit is beautiful and customizable
- looks subtly good outside.And not very common the roads and car parks. Which I like.

Dislikes
- Convenient Entry function is in the settings but not working yet as of jun 2022. Pending Skoda regional technical support to resolve. Hopefully they sort out this via software fix.
- no rear windscreen wiper
