1999 Skoda Octavia GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Don't let the badge put you off!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This is an excellent car. It is better to drive than the Audi I had before and it performs better. Ride, handling, performance and equipment levels are better than much of the competition.
The boot is huge and fuel economy is unbelievable, I have averaged 36mpg (from a 2 litre!).
UK dealers are friendly and very efficient. There are still very few on the road in the UK so you have the feeling of driving something quite exclusive.
