    5 Stars Octavia Elegance TDI PD 140 diesel Jan 2005 29/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Refinement, relaxed power, fuel economy, space

    Disadvantages Disadvantages remote locking range and sensitivity, noisy seat belt warning, standard lights

    We wanted refinement above all - to us this means a peaceful driving experience wrapped in an integrated and responsive package. Ample power at low revs goes a long way towards providing much of this and, since diesels have improved, we thought one might be the answer. My wife and I both enjoy driving, if given the chance, and over the years our mid 1970s Austin 1800 has been the favourite until recently. Now we agree about the Octavia too In late 2004 we tried out 7 interesting 2 litre diesel candidates, really looking for a hatchback. The engines were quieter than expected but, except for ... more

    4 Stars Octavia 2.0 Tdi Elegance 10/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages TDI diesel 140BHP - economy, room, handling, versatility- Skoda

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only on a VW Golf platform not the Passat

    Having owned a previous Skoda Octavia, it was a bit of a no-brainer when the time came to change the car after 5 years. Had a test drive in the new 140BHP 2.0 Diesel TDi - what a difference! Advantages: larger car all round (my over 6 Foot son can now sit in the back in comfort- extra legroom/headroom) Boot space is enormous for this class of car and it's adjustable via the split seats and the fold-flat seating (including a ski slot - or something for long thin packages anyway). Net comes as standard - very useful if you haven't quite filled the boot!! Comfort - seats good - could be better ... more

    Advantages Advantages VW Quality & Lovely Drive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Parking Sensors Essential

    We bought our Octavia in preparation for the birth of our first child. We were originally looking at a 1.8 Ford Focus, but the Octavia was so much nicer to drive, was better equipped, offered much more space and was cheaper, so it was a real no brainer for us. Four years, 50,000 miles and another child later and we are still pretty happy with it. The cavernous boot swallows all the luggage for a family holiday e.g. travel cot, pushchair, steriliser, high chair, suitcases, coats, etc, while the air conditioning and 6 stack cd player keeps everyone happy even when stuck on the motorway. A big ... more

    5 Stars Octavia Elegante 2.0TDI 27/01/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Comfortable, spacious, quiet, powerful, clean and economical.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lacks a touch of style here and there.

    When I came to change my 1.8 petrol Astra I decided I wanted a German diesel-powered car with zip ... but could't afford one. The Octavia has turned out to be an excellent, value-for-money alternative. A big selling point was the boot; my 'cello wouldn't fit in the boot of previous cars but no problem with the Octavia. Its also well-lit with nets an anchorage provided for awkward packages and CD changer's in there too, out of temptation's way. The security system is naggingly reassuring. You can't drive without your seatbelt on unless you can put up with the pinging reminder. One press on the ... more

    5 Stars Skoda Octavia Ambiente 2.0 25/11/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Spacious, economical, reliable, quick enough, comfortable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Honestly can't think of any

    We bought our Skoda Octavia second hand 3 years ago and then it was 2 years old. We have been very pleased with it and cannot think of any down side to it at all. The drive is smooth, the cabin is well thought out and simple. The drivers seat full adjustable so caters for short, tall, thin fat etc. The boot is enormous and for a family of 4 is ideal. Push chair, pram and shopping can all fit in without any problems. Servicing is quite costly at the main dealer but find a friendly local garage and you are lauging. The car has never let us down and has only ever needed 2 things replacing. A ... more
