Skoda Octavia 2004 Hatchback
The 2006 model with 1.9 tdi engine is very dynamic in combination with the automatic transmission. I drove and enjoyed the opportunity to easily perform an overtaking maneuver or pull the start from the intersection.
There are many different compartments in the cabin for storing things. I especially liked the compartment in the center on the main panel.

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: The 2006 model with 1.9 tdi engine is very dynamic in combination with the automatic transmission. I drove and enjoyed the opportunity to easily perform an overtaking maneuver or pull the start from the intersection.
There are many different compartments in the cabin for storing things. I especially liked the compartment in the center on the main panel.
Sunshade mirror with lighting
Large spacious luggage compartment with double floor. 1000 items can be stored under it and the surface of the luggage compartment remains free. There are wide niches on the sides with a calculation that you can safely place different bottles there. There is no need to be afraid of rolling away. The side arches above them have two closed niches where you can store car maintenance accessories.
Convenient driving position. It can be adjusted to different positions depending on the driver's preferences or as low as half-lying or as high as in a minivan. This year's model has a high roof position is comfortable for any driver and 2 passengers can always comfortably sit in 2 rows.
Very good engine. It does not require investment on a regular basis only to change the oil other worries were not. No liquid loss.
Cons: It was difficult to adjust the inclination of the back of the seat. It is adjusted by a screw-type mechanism. If I wanted to take a seat instead of a driver, it was hard and long to screw. This cannot be done with a single lever train.
Weak suspension quickly broke springs and did not withstand the shock absorbers when driving along the bumpy streets of Riga. It required a lot of investment.
Strange climate control, it doesn't have an AC switch. It can be turned on by setting a low temperature mode.
All models have a rusty part of the rear window in the washer area.
