2004 Skoda Octavia Ambiente review from Hungary
"Elegant cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Audio-LCD problems, service changed the whole device, happened within the guarantee period.
General comments?
This car is the perfect family cruiser. Comfortable in the front, there is enough space for the legs and heads in the back. It has also a huge boot.
1,9PdTdi runs well, drinks 6 liters/100 km.
You have to be patient, the transmission needs time for abrasion. I have been using this car for 2 years, shifting is now perfect.
Don't buy it without back windscreen wiper and parking assistance, the rear-lookout is quiet limited!
