Good Points
Amazingly low fuel consumption. Well specd.
Bad Points
Poor rearward vision. Small family dealers being bought by big companies and losing personal touch.
General Comments
I have the 130 bhp Skoda Octavia Hatch 1.9 TDi, I bought it 3 months old from Skoda themselves. I've done 9,000 miles in 9 months. I've been getting 51mpg in the winter and now warmer weather is here I'm into the mid 50s - this on a real mix of journeys from "to the shops" to a virtual non-stop 200 miles round trip to Heathrow. My local dealer is a family firm and I've nothing but praise for the way they've looked after me on this and my previous 2.0 petrol Octavia
