2017 Skoda Octavia SE Sport Estate 1.6 TDi from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Solid car so far
Faults:
Not much, had it one year, serviced with new brakes upon purchase. Interior trim a little rattly but nothing has broken. Parking sensors a bit hit and miss!
General Comments:
Octavia sport estate, very modern and functional car. Bought for economy and longevity and it does feel like it will last.
Sport SE model has very nice seats and plenty of electric features. I love this car's interior. Visibility is good and the car is very spacious.
Exterior stunning looking in bright red with alloy wheels.
Ride a bit rough and unrefined but never unbearable.
1.6 TDi is not fast but will do a solid 60 mpg all day. Pretty good to drive, nothing special but never feels like a chore.
I can see myself keeping this car a long time, cannot argue with reliable economical transport!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I'd get the gear change and the cutting out looked at while it's still under warranty. Unacceptable on a 2017 car. Myself I have a 2003 Octavia used as a taxi, and it is a dull but very reliable car with no major problems.
