Super TestCar reviews - Skoda - Octavia - RS230Skoda modelsOverviewManual-only Octavia RS230 shows Skoda still does quirky despite mainstream makeover10 Nov 2016 By TIM ROBSON IT MIGHT all seem like a bit of fuss for just 70 cars, but Skoda’s decision to bring in a specifically sporty version of its mid-size Octavia RS is an important marker for the brand.
