I can only comment on the Octavia, I have the 2.0TDi CR Estate 4x4, my first Skoda.
Mass in service/K-weight 1,495kg.Tow Limit 1,600kg. Noseweight 75kg. 138Bhp Torque 320Nm/1,750-2,500rpm
I tow a Sprite Alpine 4 MTPLM 1,230kg.
I have found it to have lots of smooth power, pulls well with lots of power on hills and of course extra traction on muddy fields with the Haldex system. The manual gear box does have some good ratios, 1st gear very low and 6th gear good on motorways, 1,800rpm at 60mph, 2,000rpm at 70mph and also for towing (70 on French motorway). Good small'ish car for around town and for work use, the wife also likes it for easy parking in town! For normal running, 90% power goes to the front wheels and 10% to rear and can transfer up to 100% to the rear as and when needed. Towing 33-35mpg and up to 61mpg solo.
Lots of load space in the rear with a 600kg payload.
GVW 2,095kg. GTW 3,695kg. The 4x4 is heavier that the standard version and has a slightly raised suspension and under body protection.
Very please and do not anticipate any problems.
Also no problems with the DPF, even on lots of short runs.
A very good towcar in my opinion, if you can find a 4x4, get one
Have not found any minus points, yes the speedo only shows mph and for kph there is a small digital display to the side of the speedo which is annoying when in Europe, prefer to have mph and kph on speedo dial.
