Skoda Octavia TDi Elegance 2007

5 star review

I am a taxi driver in Glasgow and all I can say about this car is that I have covered 160,000 miles, never needing to replace a bearing or bush spring shocker. I have serviced it every nine thousand miles and replaced one cv boot at a grand total of £7. What a car! What a taxi!! It really has got that expensive car feel. You can keep your Fords, Vauxhalls, pugs and every other piece of scrap you care to mention. Skoda is the main workhorse for the taxi trade (especially all around Europe).

Skoda Octavia 2.0 Tdi Sport DSG 2007

5 star review

I see there are a minority of folk rubbishing Skoda on here and I can say with complete honesty.....YOU ARE ALL TALKING RUBBISH!!! I have been using Skodas for 10 years for taxi driving and they are by far the best car for the job, and boy taxis do take some hammer. I have had: 2002 Octavia 1.9 Tdi 90 bhp Ambient A4 Manual 2003 Superb 1.9 Tdi 130 bhp Comfort Manual 2004 Superb 1.9 Tdi 130 bhp Elegance Manual 2005 Octavia 2.0 Tdi 140 bhp Sport Manual 2007 Octavia 2.0 Tdi 140 bhp Sport DSG (Current Car) All the above taxis!!! Yes, I’ve had the odd problem but nothing compared to some of the lads driving Ford and Vauxhalls. It certainly hasn’t put me off. Anyway, it’s not just about the car but how well the dealer looks after me. The Skoda dealers are probably amongst the best in the industry. My mrs has a BMW Z4, BMW dealers are a joke!! Ford dealers are just so uninterested in what you have to say!! Citroen/Peugeot/Renault dealers don’t know what they are talking about!! And yes, I have dealt with them all in 23 years of driving but the Skoda dealers are bang on. If you’re thinking of buying one, take the plunge and give one a try, I doubt very much you will be disappointed!! Take it from a driver who has driven them for 10 years at 50,000 miles a year!!

Skoda Octavia Petrol VRS 2007

5 star review

What a fantastic car for the money, I am thoroughly satified with my VRS and wouldn’t swap it for any other performance hatch. I tried all the other cars in the range, from the ST to the VRX and the GTI, for the money, build qaulity, economy, performance and practicality, it can’t be beaten. I travel mainly on country lanes and B roads, and the suspension is a dream, it absorbs everything the roads can throw up. It is economical and I am averaging 37 mpg. I was amazed when I did a trip to cornwall and got 42 mpg, I had to be careful at the pumps, not to fill up with diesel :-) The old image of the rusty, smoky Skoda has long gone, this is a Volkswagon Audi Group car with all the credentials of an Audi or a Volkswagen. Before you buy your next car and are looking for something the size of an Octavia, throw away your badge snobbery and try one, you will not be disappointed; I will buy another VRS when the wife lets me change this one :-)

Skoda Octavia Lauren and Klement 2007

5 star review

This is the second Skoda I have leased and will have another one. Great build quality and is one of the most comfortable cars I’ve had. Road handling is excellent and performance from the 2.0 litre Turbo diesel engine takes some beating. Having had the opportunity to lease the Skoda Octavia I have no hesitation in buying one privately. The Lauren and Klement variant is packed with everything you could wish for. Don’t let the historical stories put you off. One of the best cars on the road!

Skoda Octavia 2.0 litre TDI diesel 2007

4 star review

The Octavia is not the best looking car in the world but the appeal for me was that it used Volkswagen technology found in the Golf but gives more space and practicality. The cabin quality is excellent and the ride is comfortable and refined. I plumped for the diesel for the better fuel economy. The seats are the most comfortable that I have ever sat in. Aircon was included as standard. I have now completed over 5,000 miles and had no problems. Skoda have really turned their image around and I will not hesitate to buy from them again.
