Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cost me under £9k and is fully loaded!
Costs
45mpg with a lead foot, no other costs yet, however all that torque will eat the front tyres and they are quite pricey.

On the road
Driving
Good driving position. All controls easy to use and feel well made. Easy to see out.
Performance
The punch at 2000rpm is truly amazing and the grunt of the engine will rocket you past the car in front in no time. Suspension could be a bit stiffer. Brakes are very good.

Living with it
Reliability
Not had it long enough to see any problems.
Image
It's a Skoda diesel so you won't own a car that someone in a Burberry cap would own.
Comfort
Both drivers seat and steering wheel adjust every which way. Seats are supportive and comfortable and all buttons are in easy reach.

Security and Service
Security
No locking nuts on mine, everything else OK.

Bought it from a Mazda dealer and am very pleased. Let hope it I stay this way.
