2003 Skoda Octavia Laurin & Klement review from UK and Ireland
"Serious performance and luxury at a cut price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear windscreen washer pipe came adrift from the rear door spigot, meaning washer fluid in the inside of the tailgate and boot floor. Dealer fix in 20 minutes under warranty.
General comments?
A Volkswagen Bora / Golf, Audi A3/TT, Seat Leon, for Skoda money.
