2001 Skoda Octavia LX review from Dominican Republic
"This Car?? Where to begin? Downer!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission died on me. That was very expensive.
Every time it goes to the shop it comes out with a new problem.
The a/c compressor has been changed over 6 times now in 4 years. That is also very expensive.
The car responds very late and then all of a sudden it bursts and speeds really fast.
The seats are hard and uncomfortable.
General comments?
Where to begin?? This car is incredibly the worst nightmare. I have had two one right after the other, and I must say that both came with all problems possible. I am very unsatisfied with these cars, I would never buy them again. Each time I went to give it maintanance I would come out with a new problem, and each time expensive.
The seats are uncomfortable..
Although the steering is nice and soft, and it turns really sharp... but other than that, I do not recommend this car.
