2003 Skoda Octavia Laurin and Klement review from UK and Ireland
"Superb car, brilliant performance, and cheap to buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition coil failed and required roadside assistance.
Windscreen wipers failed after 500 miles.
General comments?
Despite the early mechanical problems, the Octavia has been exceptionally reliable.
I chose the top of the range trim with all leather seats, with walnut effect inserts and it really looks the part.
The car drives effortlessly and is extremely comfortable especially on those long runs. Kick the accelerator hard and the car really performs.
