Skoda Owner

This is a sleek and beautiful hatchback. It would be our recommendation to just ignore the basic model as it is not as powerful as the turbocharged petrol engines. The petrol engines are available with the following specs. There is the 103bhp 1.2 TSI, and our favorite the 120 bhp 1.4 TSI , the 158bhp 1.8 TSI and the 197bhp 2.0 TFSI unit in the vRS hot hatch. The diesels are available in the 104bhp 1.6, 138bhp 2.0 and the 168bhp 2.0 in the vRS.

The Octavia Hatchback is scored very high for being a comfortable ride. The car has very good handling. There is ample grip. The Octavia Hatchback’s size make it not quite as agile as it’s rivaling cars. You may find the steering to be a little bit short when it comes to feeling. You will find that the vRS performance model has much firmer suspension. This makes for super sharp handling without the comfort suffering in the slightest. We don’t find it quite as rewarding to drive as some of the best hot hatches out there though.

The Octavia Hatchback’s petrol engines are quite smooth and rather quiet. However, you may find that the 1.2 and the 1.4 TSI engines can sound a little bit harsh and you rev them hard. Most of the diesels are comparable when it comes to the engine sound. Overall the Octavia Hatchback is a reasonably refined vehicle. A little bit of road noise and suspension noise can be heard in the cabin but this does not take away from the comfort of the car.

The Skoda Superb Estate is a classy and spacious car, while still being considered quite affordable. It gives you a relaxed driving experience. Those looking for a luxurious wagon that carries all of the features necessary for small to medium sized families may find this car desirable at such an affordable price. Aside form the beautiful and sleek interior, many review sites and magazines have given this vehicle three out of five stars in performance, which means you don’t have to sacrifice.

The 123 bhp 1.4 TSI petrol will struggle when pulling heavier loads. The slower 158bhp 1.8 TSI, in our opinion, is a better choice. We do not recommend the 256bhp 3.6 as it is a gas guzzler. Although we believe the diesels will be a little bit more popular we think the 104bhp seems to be a little bit more rattly, therefore that’s not a pick for us either. The 138bhp 2.0 does have quite a punch, however, it seems to deliver this punch all at one time. The 168bhp version is much more uniform with the delivery of power, however it is a bit more pricy.

The Superb Estate is a very comfortable ride due to its very soft suspension. This helps a great deal when traveling over rough road surfaces. It’s very stable on the highway as well. This makes for a very steady ride and is ideal for cruising. It may feel a bit unsteady around bends however, there is quite enough grip which will make you feel pretty secure when taking corners.

The Skoda Yeti Crossover is a disappointment where the ride and refinement are concerned. However, it is super stylish and a very practical compared to your traditional family hatchback. This car also handles extremely well.

There are five turbocharged engines available. The two wheel drive models come in the 104bhp 1.2 Liter Petrol or the 108bhp 2.0 Liter Diesel. The 108bhp 2.0 Liter Diesel is also available in 4 wheel drive with outputs of 138bhp and 168bhp. The Petrol 4 wheel drive version come with the 158bhp 1.8 Liter engine.

The Range-topping Yeti Crossover is wonderful off road and this is because it is fully equipped with a lot of smart gadgets that assist you when traveling over slippery terrain. Much like the other models it handles extremely well, offering quite a grip and very precise steering. This makes it very simple to handle when you are driving on winding roads. We have found the Yeti’s ride to be quite bumpy at any speed unless you are riding on a glass smooth road. The Yeti Crossover does tend to let in a bit of wind and road noise while doing extremely fast speeds. The Diesel engines are a big disappointment as they cause quite a bit of vibrating inside of the vehicle making for a little bit of a bumpy ride. We did find the Petrol engines to be quite a bit more smooth. The Yeti has nice evenly weighted pedals and a very smooth gearshift.
