1999 Skoda Octavia LX review from UK and Ireland
"A great car all round"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I have only recently bought this car, which was 4 years old, but with very low mileage. The car was also in very good condition. Despite only having a 75bhp engine the car is very lively with good acceleration and provides a very smooth ride. The car has a solid high quality feel, and I have only 2 criticisms. The first is the lack of a wiper for the rear window (which has been added on later models) and a lack of cup holders and other cubby holes for putting things such as sun glasses and mobile phones etc.
This car is certainly in a higher class than the Felicia despite the LX being the most basic trim level sold in the UK.
