2006 Skoda Octavia 4x4 review from Bulgaria
"A perfect buy in terms of value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car still new, so nothing major to report so far, except for a small leakage through the driver's door isolation during a recent heavy rain.
Alarm too sensitive (my neighbors got mad), but this is no fault of the manufacturer, as alarm was installed by a third party provider. Got it regulated for 10 minutes under warranty.
General comments?
Very stable and exceptional handling.
1st gear is a bit short, which affects 0-100 acceleration.
Huge boot.
No squeaks, very well assembled.
Relatively high consumption (average 7.1 for last 100 km with air conditioner constantly on). Hope this will improve, but do not expect too much because of the 4x4.
Will update the review regularly when I have more to report.
