स्कोडा ऑक्टाविया [2001-2010] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior Very outdated by current standards, in fact it feels like a 10-15 year old design platform of a VW Jetta, reskinned by Skoda and partly build in India. (VW may not be known to be as reliable when compared to better Japaneese marques, as per JD Power and a majority customer surveys undertaken in N America over the last decade!!).

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its nice with leather, but cabin leaked twice!

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Nice fuel economy but maintenance costs far outweight fuel savings!

 

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable on highways but tireing to drive in city!! Does not like changing direction easily and very hard ride for certain Indian road conditions!

 

Final Words I have lucikily got rid of mine in time and bought a Toyota Corola for regular use, with which I am very very happy compared to the Skoda!

Skoda makes the Octavia very hard to love!!

 

Areas of improvement Spare costs, service attitude and improve the build quility!!

 

Fuel economy!Service, poor but heavy build, bad electricals, leeky,
