I purchased my Octavia in December last year. It had 172,000 miles (ex taxi). I had a problem a few weeks ago that I thought was the Mass Airflow Sensor but turned out to be a short in the wiring loom to the Turbo. (?£120 to fix). Overall I am very pleased with the car. It is quick, very economical with a smooth gearchange and supportive seats. Mine is the Ambiente with six CD, electric pack and AC (which I would recommend.) Rear legroom is not good for adults but fine for the kids. I dont do much motorway driving but still manage around 48 - 50mpg around the town which given the size of the car is excellent. On the rare occasion I do motorway miles the car normally returns around 55 mpg. A superb car for the money for anybody wanting VAG but cannot afford VW rip-off prices! |
