2001 Skoda Octavia Classic SDi Estate review from UK and Ireland
"The best car for the job."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has broken, packed up or fallen off the car.
It has only had routine servicing, tires and brake pads.
It needed the front brake rotors replacing at 100,000 miles.
The main dealer is sometimes very sloppy about carrying work out, I always have to check that the servicing has been correctly done.
General comments?
I use the car for taxi work.
It looks smart and it's very practical.
The boot (trunk) on the estate is enormous.
I cover 85,000 miles a year.
The fuel economy is terrific, at least 45 miles per gallon around town and 60 miles per gallon on longer journeys.
