2006 Skoda Octavia Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"A very nice car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical problems with the DSG gearbox. Dealer says it's a common fault with water getting into
engine management system. Skoda know about it and are trying to fix.
General comments?
Car is really quick, and the gearbox, when OK,it is brilliant and a pleasure to drive.
Averages around 48 mpg, which is a lot better than my 2005 Scenic Auto, which only did about 28mpg.
The cabin very spacious and comfortable.
The heating is really good - turn it on auto and forget it.
Only fault, apart from electrical, is water dripping when the boot is raised.
