Skoda Octavia 1.9 Tdi PD Elegance 2008

5 star review

Just passed 88k miles. Third set of tyres, brakes replaced at 80k, it’s needed a new bulb in each headlamp and the radio turned itself off once for no apparent reason. It gets thrashed daily and still returns 48 mpg average. Comfortable and well equipped. Understated in anthracite - nicknamed ’the stealth bomber’ because it never attracts attention. Suspension a little crashy at times but being a ’progressive’ driver. this makes up for it by being very secure at speed. In short, brilliant. A proper, competent bit of kit, not trying hard to be cool.

Skoda Octavia Ambiente 2008

5 star review

I bought a 2008 Octavia nealry 2 years ago as I wanted a bigger family car and after driving nearly ever make of car available over the years opted for a Skoda and I can honestly say I made a fantastic choice. I have never had any problems with it, it handles every situation that it is in including all that dreadful snow! I was driving up quite a steep snow covered hill while all the other cars were stuck and reversing back down my Skoda kept going and made it to the top, no problem! Fuel consumption is great, I have been so impressed with the skoda that I am getting a new one on Monday, the 1.6 TDI Elegance, which has lots of features included that you would only get from the top of the range models from other manufacturers. Look after the car properly and it will give years of hassle free driving! My recommendation? Buy a Skoda!

You don’t know nothing about cars. Do you know that engines in Octavia are the same as in the Passat, Golf, A4 and A6? Did you know that old 1.8 was the same engine as in the Octavia and Audi TT? Do you know that the new Superb is more qualited than the new Passat? No? Please, start read Germans web. Do you know that Skoda has one of the modern technologies in VW group?

Skoda Octavia 2008

3 star review

A good value family saloon car. Runs smoothly on motorways & around town. Huge boot for all the families junk & shopping. Only disadvantages are... No rear wiper (I know it’s slanted so rain runs down, but you still need a wiper when it mists up in the cold!). Visibility not great.
