Overall reliability

Reliable + Economical

Octavia Estate - 2009 model, newer shape. Sharp looking car with alloy wheels. Lots of space. Good to drive. Quality interior materials.

A bit noisy on the move but not unbearable. Seats are good, driving position excellent.

SE model has plenty of extras.

1.9 TDi is a classic bullet proof engine - give it the oil changes and cambelt it deserves and it will return with reliability. Does around 50 mpg or more! Fast enough for me as well.

Almost 15 years old and still going strong at 140,000 miles! Highly recommended. Buy a looked after car with history - avoid ex taxis. Be aware of overpriced cars on the used market.
