The Skoda Octiva Estate is a gorgeous, compact wagon. This car comes with a variety of several different engines. The Petrol engines are 103bhp 1.2 Liter, 120bhp 1.4 Liter and 158bhp 1.8 Liter. There are also the Diesel Engines to choose from. There is a 104bhp 1.6 Liter, and a 138bhp 2.0 Liter. All of these engines are powerful from low revs, they will not give you a problem with performance when carrying heavier loads. All of the engines offer a choice of manual or automatic transmission.
The Octivia Estate has scored high in the comfort department. Even the higher-rising Scout 4×4 model handles well with ample grip, however, there is less feeling in the steering.
For firmer sharper handling and firmer suspension without losing any of the comfort, you can opt for the vRS performance version. You may not find it quite as rewarding as driving some of the smaller, fast Estates.
The Octivia Estate is a beautiful cruiser. Both the petrol and diesel engines offer and very smooth and comfortable ride. The engines may sound a little bit gruff during the higher revs. You may experience some light wind noise that can be heard around the front windows. For a more light and accurate shift you may choose the manual transmission. The automatic transmission does tend to be a little bit more slick than the manual.
Overall, this is a very civilized cruiser and we believe you will be highly satisfied with it.
