New Octavia

[Albannach]

I was in getting Giggle's Fabia serviced last week and had a look at the new Octavia Superb. It's a nice car. But the best bit is the Boot/Hatch, now that's clever!

Sorry for being pedantic but was it the Octavia or the Superb ? They're two different cars .......

Sorry, Superb

Sorry, Superb

I always thought the Superb was just a big Octavia, didn't realise they were completely separite models.

Every day's a school day

Doesn't alter the fact that the boot/tailgate is cool!

Whats wrong with the old one?

[peterward]

But yeah it does look cool!

Aye? Never driven one, but it does look good. Can't fault Shirley's Fabia though, it's an excellent wee car!

It can be either.

I know that they are basically the same as the Audi & VW, but I could never own a Skoda..... it signifies someone who is on a budget and doesn’t care what sort of car they drive so long as it gets them from A to B. I’d much rather buy a second hand quality Audi or VW than that cheap ‘n’ cheerful badge.

That's because you're a head-in-the-sand motoring snob. That said, if you think a £27k car is "cheap 'n' cheerful", maybe you're not?

I don't think it will ever loose that stigma but you have to admit they have come a long way since the clapped out old bangers that we all remember.

Skoda Octavia came second in last years JD power satisfaction survey. Audi A4 came 7th...
