2005 Skoda Octavia review from Latvia
"Good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear window heating not working at the first day.
Mystique clicks in engine in the first few seconds after starting cold engine.
In temperatures below zero seems like only 3 cylinders working the first few seconds after starting cold engine.
Temperature regulator stopped working in winter at 5000 km, leaving only two options – very cold (just the air from the outside) or very hot.
General comments?
Pretty nice car, comfy driving, acceptable fuel consumption and some additional features for your convenience, like 1) turn lights goes automatically 3 times by pushing the switch only once, 2) working wind shield wipers automatically stop in interval position when the car stops, 3) rear wiper automatically goes on when the wind shield wipers are on and you reverse.
