Skoda Octavia (2004 - 2013)
1.9 TDI PD Ambiente, AT DSG 6 speed
Excelent car, much more than expected.
My car gave me 111% of Factory claimed fuel yield, over two years, where I measure every tank.
The electronic real time indicator overestimates 5% of distance and yield. I used the tank refuel method.
Onboard computer and complete instrumentation is very useful as to guide yr driving habit to get more fuel yield, and that is what I did all the time. All that was registered in Ecomodder.com .
Chassis quality is really good, doors, wheels, etc. Amplitude is very good.
Brakes are incredible powerful, available only as update in other cars.
Sound of the engine is very nice.
Cooling capacity is overdimensioned in my opinion. I used a Winter cover to avoid running the engine too cold.
My only critic is that the suspension, despite the fact it is similar to a Mercedes suspension, (McPherson in front, multilink in rear) with two stabilizing bars, is too hard for me. I have a lumbar sore back and 66 yr old. Too sportive car for me. I would had prefered a softer suspension.
