Skoda Octavia 2004 reviews
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.

Pros: 1) Very pleasant engine - a powerful from small RPM - as diesel. Convenient DSG box operation - switches very quickly; there is no doubt that, at time of overtaking can "think" that had experience with some of other gearboxes. Economic - evenly on highway and 120 km / h consumption around 5-5, 2 l / 100)
2) Very capacious car. Its hatchback / liftback bodywork is perfect - much more practical than sedan and it doesn't look like a clumsy wagon.
Cons: 1) With my height 192cm I dont feel really comfortable at drivers seat. So after a few hundred km have lower back pain and need to rest .
2) High "tunnel" in middle of cabin, so child can only sit on the middle.
3) The issue of typical VW Group cars is a potential problem: nozzles, turbine, two mass flywheel already "sends a message" with small but yet discernible vibration at idle... All of these repairs for "budget" brand Skoda costs about same as VW Golf, Passat, Touran, Tiguan..., Audi A3 etc

Pros: Nothing needs to be repaired before 10 years of use. The original battery lasted 12 years. I changed the original bushings after 15 years of use. Easy to maintain as there are no unnecessary extras which often go out of order.
Cons: I've been driving this car for 16 years and for the last five years I've had to repair the rear brake callipers quite often. The end switches in the door locks went out of order and I stayed behind the door.

Pros: Great to drive, mine was Scout version -it was great at countryside and on highway. Powerful engine with rather comfy suspension (compared to other German-engineered vehicles), nice build quality
Cons: Really difficult to repair as most garages doesn´t want vehicles with 4x4, particulate filter and variable geometry turbo in one package. Also, quite expensive parts compared to french cars
