1999 Skoda Octavia GLXi review from UK and Ireland
"A value-for-money car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tailgate central locking servo failed.
Clutch replaced at 29000.
Rear washer pipe disconnected flooding the rear of the car!
Cassette player ate tapes after only 3 weeks.
General comments?
Overall, this is the best car I have owned, with only minor problems, which were quickly and effectively repair by the Main Dealer.
My biggest criticism is that the speedometer has no markings for the national speed limits, i.e. 30 or 70mph. One is just left to guess when you are at these speeds! Not too bright with the current emphasis on speed cameras!
