Buying a car mainly depends on choice and preferences of buyers sometimes exterior are equally important as engine performance along with interior specifications but that perfect combination usually quite expensive and rare as well. Skoda Octavia is a comfortable and efficient family car that may not allure all those who are seeking a modish appearance.
It is Roomy so five passengers and good volume of luggage can be carried to a destination with ease. Not only price of car is affordable but to keep it is also very much in budget of many and for this reason you may call it a car for everyone.
The standard equipment’s are generously installed to provide maximum facilitation to owners of this fantastic car. From many point of views it is better hatchback family vehicle that is priced very keenly. When compared with any other rivals on basis of space it beat all with a good margin.
The entry-level petrol engine is 1.0 litre that seems out of proportion to a vehicle looking that heavy but practically it is up to the job quite effectively on motorways and in town.
Even engines 1.4 litre and 1.8 litre do not perform better than the earlier described. Similarly 1.6-litre diesel engine has performed very well but five-speed gear are not ideal that is why Greenline with six-speed gears is preferred for better running.
For fast speed sporty v-RS models 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines are recommended as they are sporty as well as strong and flexible in features. Dual clutch automatic gear box is known for its smooth and efficient performance and it is present in all except Green-Line.
Level of comfort increases with speed so as you move fast rise in comfort can be felt. Suspension is not ideal as bumpy feel can be there in cabin due to undulating surface. Apart from ups and downs on road the comfort is ideal. But this issue can be avoided as suspension can be altered to remove the inadequacy once for all.
Everything one could expect from a ample family car is there in Skoda Octavia so a complete solution for road transport is readily present in showrooms. With good stability at high speed shows compactness and remain precise on turns.
Handling has been made very easy with provision of light steering that assists on noisy town streets and while parking in narrow spaces.
Normally excellent to drive but in sport mode the wheel for control gets heavy and become hard to control. Less noise for petrol engines make drive even smoother and effortless. On the other hand engines run by diesel are bit louder to prove power.
The sound results in vibration on pedals that makes it gruesome for person on driving seat. Firm but comfy sitting area for driver is very much desirable for majority and in standard mode it is manually adjustable with ease.
The same is also present in power option in couple of models. Similarly the rear seats are quite easy to sit on and do not make the riders tired.
