Customer Reviews of the Skoda Octavia Estate

Published on: 23 March 2021

Lovely vehicle, but lack a bit of umf

Love the space (boot and legroom), performance is good given its size and its comfortable and easy to drive. Good value for the rental price. Model is not top of the range and lacks a few of the bits of tech I had in my VW golf, like variable cruise cruise control and keyless entry. Overall, more than happy with the car, good value for money.

Doesn’t excel at anything in particular but does everything very very well. A true great all rounder family car.

I enjoy driving, so I like the responsivesness of all the controls, pedals etc which gives confidence that the car will perform and react as you want and expect it to, providing a good sense of security. It is a hugely practical vehicle and versatile in its carrying capacity, but one niggle is that the latest model folds down the rear seats differently and no longer gives a flat load space (though it is a longer space) (hence the'good' rating). Perhaps given my age I find its somewhat understated exterior lines very pleasing, and I do like the 'traditional' instrument panel, handbrake and ignition key - long may they survive! Two minor irritaions under the 'comfort' question are the lack of an 'aux in' socket (I can't connect my non-bluetooth mp3 player), and with the lights switched to the sidelight position (rather than auto), the instrument panel refuses to illuminate! These aren't, however, sufficient to drop the overall score from 'excellent'.

It is a good estate at a very good lease cost, selecting an automatic has made it very easy to live with. The infotainment system is very good in comparison to my previous car.

I actually really enjoy driving this vehicle. It's very smooth and economical on long distances. The DSG (automatic) is great when struck in traffic and the Driver's Assist package also improves driver experience with good quality speakers and entertainment controls on the steering wheel. I would have liked the Superb estate, which is the slightly larger model but unfortunately beyond our price range. On the plus side, parking the Octavia estate is easier than the Superb but although it has parking sensors, cameras would be helpful!

Plastic rattles and sound proofing is not the best. Lots of road noise.
