1998 Skoda Octavia glxi review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sice the first week I have had the car it has been back to the dealer on 3 occasions for engine management problems each time the car is returned the fault yet again develops.
The car is now back at the garage for the 4th time with the same problem and has been there for 3 weeks on this occasion and STILL I'm waiting for its return.
General comments?
I would NEVER buy a skoda brand again after my experience with this car and it will be sold as soon as I get it returned.
