2000 Skoda Octavia GLX TDI review from UK and Ireland
"Strong reliable cheap work horse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car second hand.
Haven't had one spot of trouble except the usual wear and tear of replacing brake shoes and discs, which both were original from new. Rear brake shoes are still untouched; barely any wear.
General comments?
I have the 90bhp version, which is quite slow, but it gets me where I wanna go for astonishingly low diesel costs. 54 miles to the gallon doing 80mph. Can even get more of you're not heavy footed.
Everything seems like good quality; good heavy doors, and a smooth ride.
