2008 Skoda Octavia RS review from UK and Ireland
"Rapid, comfortable and excellent value!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong so far.
General comments?
This car replaced my Mazda 3 2.3 litre MPS - nice car, but the handling was not very good. The Skoda is a little slower, but handles better and is a much better package overall.
I got the car for a very good price. Very very impressed with the performance, handling, equipment level and comfort. The car is extremely spacious inside and the build and trim quality is excellent - I have previously owned Audi and the Skoda is of a similar quality. Economy is good so far.
My car is equipped with dual-zone aircon, power windows, auto-lights, auto-dipping mirror, auto-wipers, 18" alloys etc etc. Pretty much all I could want in terms of equipment.
Downsides: Rather a lot of road noise in the back from those 18" tyres. Stereo is adequate, but could be better.
