    93,000 miles is not high in a diesel Octavia, I ran one for 380,000 miles from new. High mileage? Buy a diesel.

      I easily get a petrol to 180.000-190.000. had to sell it because the clutch was worn out and I didn't have the nerves to fix it

    Nice video lads. You should have more subs.
    As a Skoda owner, I can tell you about washing it. I haven't washed it since November. The results are not too bad, after a good rain storm the thing looks ok.
    I'd define a Skoda owner not as tight, but a person who doesn't give a toss.

      one of the reasons I changed my 206 gti for an 1.4tsi octavia was because you just melt into traffic and get no looks from other cars lol and then is faster than the gti, go figure (not in tight corners) kind of a sleeper with the stage1 I have :)

    We have one of these, 67’ plate, had it since almost new. The 1.6 diesel is clean and super efficient. Trips 4 up, full load and board bags, 375 miles to St. Ives from where we live in Essex; 40 quid each way. Great daily too, we love our family wagon. Looked at more premium brands, but chose this and glad we did!

    Very good review, the Octavia estate is a durable workhorse, built to last.
    They are reliable, inexpensive to maintain, reasonable for insurance purposes, and economical, they offer excellent value for money, and are very practical, what more could a customer realistically need from an estate car?❤.

    Meanwhile me as a 22 year old who wants one of these...I should probably be concerned but there's something charming of the idea of putting a million miles on one lol...not that I could afford to do that.

      Funny you say that, I'm a 20yo who just got one (for a great price!) so I can say it really is great, I'm lucky. Not to rub salt in the wound 😂

    Your description of us more mature folk (65) is pretty close, the scarf and the jumper with a budget mind set is me all over .....LOL (omg its like looking in the mirror), but i`ll keep the shoes just for driving & indoors (not even I would walk around a supermarket in those), the only other thing I would say is, us older folk would need a taller car (bending/back issues) = so a Skoda Yeti would be my choice.

    These cars are absolutely enormous. I would sooner hire a van for an occasional tip run than buy a car for the purpose.
