2001 Skoda Octavia RS review from UK and Ireland
"Very good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear screen wash has not worked since I got the car.
The heated rear window has an element fault.
General comments?
This car is quick and handles well.
There seems to be a lot of wind noise from the rear windows.
Water drops into the boot when you open the tailgate in wet conditions.
Mileage per gallon is very good bearing in mind the performance the car offers.
