Skoda Octavia Estate Car Reviews

Skoda Octavia Estate Elegance 2008

5 star review

Easily the best "family-sized" estate on the road in the UK. So comfortable, everything is in just the right position (I’m 6’2") and so well-built. No rattles, no "zizzes", everything works like a well-oiled lock, and it’s so economical (50+mpg cruising the autobahn at 90mph+) . It is fast, smooth (except at VERY low revs - keep it above 1400rpm) and it cruises at whatever speed (on the continent, officer...!), thanks to it’s very high-geared 6-speed gearbox. And megabucks cheaper than the Passat estate which is probably it’s nearest rival for space and finish. Demolishes the old Skoda image with a vengeance. Well done the Czechs...

Got to be the just about the worst diesel car I have driven. So uncomfortable and the drive is horrible; feels like it has not been tuned correctly. The boot is just terrible; being lower than normal estates which means you can’t put large items in without doing your back in. Electric window switch is too far away a really short person wouldn’t even be able to reach it. Accelerator pedal is to close to the interior so you keep putting your foot on the foot well side panel instead if not careful. Only good part are the brakes. Used to driving bigger heavier cars for very long distances for work so driving this was a big let down and left me with a bad back. If I was given one as a gift I would give it back.

Solidly constructed, very spacious and heaps of great equipment. A decent drive the performs well in all areas, every bit as good as the Vauxhall Astra and the Ford Focus.

5 star review

Had this car 2 years from new. 2.0 TDI 140bh. Brilliant car. Good acceleration for overtaking. Comfortable on long journeys. Very large carrying capacity. I grin at Passat and VW drivers who pay much more for what I am driving but mine is under a different skin .
