2008 Skoda Octavia Ambiente Estate review from UK and Ireland

Nothing, but will keep this updated just in-case.

I bought my 1.4 Ambiente estate on the 28th of February, though I did have to wait 8 weeks for it to be delivered. I got no extras or anything fancy off the dealer, only got a mph speedometer which I wanted.

I bought aftermarket 17" alloys, as the Skoda alloys were very dear in my opinion, and a K&N induction kit to give it a nice sound.

I have now wrapped up 5600 miles as of today, and what a blast it has been. The car has exceeded my dreams in every-way, it will give everything when pushed hard.

This I know some people will probably disagree on, but it will run 100mph in 4th gear. I didn't believe it either, but have done it a few times so you may test it for yourself.

The handling is smooth, even on tight twisty roads, and steering feels weighted.

The boot is massive, even with the back seats up.

The interior is nothing special, but everything is nicely positioned and the radio is top notch, and has the iPod connector, which comes in very handy for long distances.

The economy is very good - near 450 miles on a tank on only city driving.
