the Octavia offers generous space for occupants and a massive boot that dwarfs most competitors from the class above, plus its plush interior and frugal engines make it a fantastic car for covering big distances

sorted byAs it's a company car it's up for renewal, but this has put me off the VAG group for now. Worth having a nose around the forums, it seems pretty common the issues I have had. (edited)
The things an absolute nightmare. Lots of fellow Skoda forum members have just handed theirs back as Skoda admit they have no answers.
Mines finally going back after two years of taking it back for them to fix, had enough. 17 trips back to dealer and STILL it's not working.
It is the perfect family car for me. I can fit both kids bikes in the boot without needing to put the seats down. Going camping was a doddle. Managed to fit an obscene amount of stuff in no problem.
Touch wood I’ve not had any big service bills and the dealership near me are actually very friendly unlike any other car dealerships I’ve encountered. MPG is decent too considering the size.
I’ve got the 1 litre model which is the smallest engine I’ve ever had. No it’s not a particularly fast car but I don’t think anyone buying this is doing so expecting it.
If you are looking to buy a practical family car rather than a car of your dreams then I can 100% recommend it.
However, I have also been plagued with all the infotainment, and safety system issues that others have mentioned.
It's been back to the dealer about 8 times to have various updates applied, and I have to say since the last update it has been far better, but there are still niggles. The infotainment system will sometimes reboot about 10 seconds after starting the engine.
I recently had a 23 plate Octavia as a loan vehicle, and that didn't have any of the issues that I experienced, so VAG may have got on top of the issues for newer vehicles - it's just the older ones they seem less keen to resolve the problems on. (edited)
Now they are Prius then Auris Estate and now the Corolla Estate
Was at a meeting few days ago, further narrowing of roads, wider pavements, taxes on city businesses providing parking facilities, road tolls, 20 mile zones etc.
They're determined to get all the cars off the roads in the very near future = £22969 down the drain.
The old car I might have considered keeping (even in Energy Blue). This one, not so much.
Can't fault the engine though, which I assume is the same as this Skoda.
