Likeable liftback can’t cash on-road Czechs
-
PRETTY much every BFYB in history has thrown up one or two cars that, on the basis of the spec sheet, look like good prospects. And then we put them to the BFYB sword only to discover that they somehow fall a bit short. This year, the Skoda Octavia RS230 would be one of those cars.
But here’s the redress: That’s only because the things that make it a great road car also make it a less than totally stellar BFYB contender. Which, of course, means that if you want a car for the real world, the RS230 has the elements to make a damn fine choice. But under the harsh terms and conditions of Mistress BFYB, those same elements play against it. That’s it, plain and simple.
