Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
You cannot beat the Value-for-Money of this car.
Costs
Very low maintenance costs compared to some cars I've had, even though the Octavia has been dealer serviced since new. I've now done 71,000 miles in less than 4 years.

On the road
Driving
Fine, it's a good, fun, work horse, and drives well on the motorway and in country lanes.
Performance
Will cruise happily for hours at 90mph and good mpg, with extra push available if needed.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Excellent, turns over 1st time, every time.
Image
Who cares at this value-for-money, but I think Skoda's are starting to get a reverse-sobbery value. Certainly the number of people who smile when you say you've got a Skoda are reducing rapidly.
Comfort
Seats hard, but you do get to appreciate them. Leg room in back is a bit tight.

Security and Service
Security
Never had a problem, but that may have been due to the alarm I had fitted.
Service
Always excellent, they really do care about their cars and their customers.
