Not up to Skoda's usual standard.
Sold my 1.6 Octavia for a smaller Fabia, big mistake.
Boot size very small, suffers from the usual problem of flickering lights when turning steering wheel, very small cabin area, hesitates when accelerating, fuel reccommended by Skoda should be 98 Ron. Due to small wheelbase not a very comfortable ride with hard suspension.
Brakes very efficient, perhaps a little too oversharp. Only good point seems to be it is easy to park. Not a week went by without numerous lights on the dash informing me of faults. I am sure this is why the previous owner got rid of it.
The worst car I have ever owned.
