2002 Skoda Octavia Laurin & Klement Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Economical and comfortable car in which to cover long distances"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flat Battery at 5500 miles.
Puncture at 11500 miles.
Poor radio reception from new.
General comments?
I bought the L & K because it has Cruise Control as standard and the insurance premium is £200 less than the equivalent Elegance model.
Over 13000 miles it has averaged 56mpg.
Over 600 miles on a tank full of diesel
Cruise control plus drivers arm rests mean non stop drives of 7 hours do not cause any discomfort.
Better quality radio and speakers and more leg room in the rear would make the car perfect.
