    Good Points: Responsive, roomy, all mod cons without being OTT, reliable and user friendly.


    Bad Points: None that I've found - honest.


    General comments: I have a 2.0 Octavia Elegance Hatch, which I've owned for approx 7 months now. It's the 4th Skoda I've owned, and more than any other, this one has convinced me that I'll only ever own Skoda cars in the future.
    It isn't the engine I wanted (I initially wanted the 1.9 TDi but couldn't find one in my price range). However, I've found the 2.0 petrol engine very reliable and reasonably economical (I do approx 250 miles a week in my commute to work, averaging 40.5 MPG over the week).
    The car is comfortable, cruises nicely and happily on the motorways and is responsive enough to pull you out of trouble if needed. The only thing I personally would improve (and this still doesn't irritate me enough to class it as a bad point) is I'd like the suspension to be a bit stiffer. That though, is because I'm still a girl-racer at heart.

    The Skoda Octavia 2.0 is solid and safe feeling and has good suspension, but the
    breaks squeal like a municipal truck, even after changing the entire breaking system within the warranty period (I literally had to send the car back four times to get the job attended to).

    The pick up, once you slow down in second or third gear, is zilch.

    You can hurt your palms and consume 5000 calories just getting your front seats to incline, rotating those saucer shaped discs on the side!

    I thought Skoda's image had changed when they started using VW parts. I was very wrong.

    This is my second review of the Skoda Octavia Ambiente Estate 2l car now I have had it for a few months.
    I am now selling the car.
    The engine sounds like a diesel and doesn't get any better. Room for rear passengers is very cramped and this goes for a niggle to a major annoyance. The car has a very annoying squeak from inside the dash. But worst of all the car drinks oil, and I mean really drinks it. I would say an average of 2 litres every 1000 miles. This is very very annoying, expens ...

    I bought a brand new Skoda Octavia Ambiente Estate 2 litre recently. I was attracted by the price, the reputation and the build quality. The test drive reassured me that it would be fine for around town and motorway hauls. On the whole I have been satisfied. (My expectations have been met and not exceeded as was the case in other cars I have owned e.g. Nissan Primera, which was excellent). I have two children under 3 and was aware the rear passenger space was small but was not concerned. However ...
