2001 Skoda Octavia Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"A well designed and roomy vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
It has a solid build and has that feel of a more expensive car than it is.
I am well over 6 feet tall and find that even with the sunroof fitted, I have more than enough head and leg room.
There are only two minor faults to date.
If the vehicle is wet, on opening the boot, water pours onto the side parcel shelf and then into the boot.
Also a slightly annoying clunk that appears to come from the lower drivers door when going over bumps at reasonably slow speeds.
