2000 Skoda Octavia GLXi Kombi review from Israel
"Excellent car for little money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning system has lost gas and therefore was unable to cool the car (a very serious problem in Israel).
Rear-Left power-window went down but didn't go back to the normal closed position.
The lights of the air conditioning control panel have died.
General comments?
A very comfortable car, very stable at any speed.
Huge boot space could contain a whole house hold.
The 1.6 litre engine is a bit too small for a car that heavy (it weighs about 1400 kilos empty), this makes fuel consumption a bit high and slow accelleration.
Not much leg room for people over 1.70 meters in the back seat.
My next car is a new Skoda Octavia TDI Kombi.
