Skoda Octavia Review
Octavia is an orderly design with no unwanted mass. It’s more about straight lines than about curves. It looks very European with the subtle nose section and high waistline. The build quality is as good as it can get and is faintly reflected in the way the Octavia looks. The Octavia is based on the previous-generation VW Golf, hence the limited space in the cabin. While seated in the rear, you will have limited legroom but the story is completely different at the front as the seats at front are enormously accommodating. The quality of the interior is quite good and it exudes a tough feel. However, a little more luxury would have been welcome, since in its current state, the interior looks drab. Ergonomics are top notch, all the controls have a quality feel to them, and there’s a huge boot which can easily swallow an apartment!...read full review

The 1.9l turbo-diesel engine is the one which has sold the most, and rightly so. It is frugal and manages to keep the performance-oriented driver happy at the same time. The 1.8l, 150bhp turbocharged petrol engine is an entirely different beast and is one of the most powerful in the under-Rs 20 lakh price bracket. It is supremely responsive and makes the Octavia one of the fastest four-door offerings in the nation. Running on low-profile tyres, the Octavia RS (1.8l) suffers from harsh ride quality but the handling is razor sharp. The regular Octavia offers better ride comfort and even when going over big potholes, it results in an expected bump.
The Octavia offers the build quality of a battle tank and storage capacity of a water tank. Good ride and modest handling are other positives which make it click so well but what swings the balance in her favour by a fair margin is the fuel efficiency which is one of the best in the country. Makes perfect sense to take this car on long journeys.

Outdated Check-German Junk!!
on Skoda Octavia by J, 09-Oct-2010
Exterior Very outdated by current standards, in fact it feels like a 10-15 year old design platform of a VW Jetta, reskinned by Skoda and partly build in India.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 [...]
