1999 Skoda Octavia GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Good quality, great price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My brake lights failed and needed a sensor component replaced.
General comments?
I am very pleased with my Octavia, it looks great and handles family journeys excellently.
I find that it performs best with a full tank of petrol, has a fine power surge in 3rd gear and glides nicely on motorways.
After owning an Octavia, I am seriously considering buying the new Skoda model, the Superb.
For me a Skoda means a good quality, highly specified car at a great price, for intelligent people who can see past "badge" snobbery.
