Skoda Octavia Cons: Lack of powertrain options. No diesel engine for heavy users or a cheaper, more reliable MT; New-style large radiator grille will divide opinions. Some like it, some find it ugly; Misses in the equipment list such as a sunroof, ventilated seats & regular USB ports; Pathetic stock tyres are among the worst we've experienced.
The Pros are: Very economical. Enough power when required . Good PD punch of power. Bulletproof engine. Easy to maintain . Cons are: Nothing. I don't find mine noisy at all compared to pre PD engines. When I drove a 1.6tdi Octy as a loan car I found it very sluggish and have to work it harder. I wasn't impressed but that of course is my opinion.
