Skoda Octavia // The Perfect car? (Drive and review Mk3) 

I have the 150ps version since 2017. 150k kms so far with not a single problem. As you said, is a car that does it all, extremely happy with it.

I’m from India and I have the 180 hp 1.8 TSI since 2018. Covered 70,000 km so far and not a single fault. Brilliantly engineered product. Almost faultless.

I have one (estate) with 150 hp ans DSG from 2019. It has done 167000 and no problems so far. Smooth drive, economical and swift. Just back from the south of France with a caravan: excellent performance. A good family car!

For me, Skoda is #1 and VW #2. I just love Skoda, lol. Great review!

Nice vid JJ. Quintessential alter ego channel for High Peak Autos 😂😂😂

A PROPER WELL BALANCED REVIEW ! WELL DONE SIR !

Bought a Octavia 2017 a few months ago. Excellent family car, very happy with it. One note I have : Not in need of more power than necessary I bought a 1 liter 3 cilinder. These vibrate a bit in the cabine and the engine rattles a bit. . I had it checked and I'm told that it is inerrant to the motor. Just keep it in mind. A 4 cilinder should not have these characteristics.

my a 15 plate scout .had it 5 yrs just great car 100k and drives spot on

Another superb review. Nice one, JJ! 😎

We've got the 2017 Scout version, a brilliant car in every respect. The Octavia is one of the best cars out there in terms of quality and real value for money. Oh yes I really do like the split headlights fitted to the facelifted cars from 2017 onwards, gives the car a striking sharp look. Might well replace our other car a Mondeo, for the 1.5 petrol Octavia hatchback. Great review JJ on Cars, always look out for the new reviews.

Taxi driver cars done 260k miles, still going strong

Nice review - I’ve had 4 golfs and changed to a 1.5 tsi as I didn’t like the Golf 8. Much refer the Skoda and the engine is quiet, swift and gets 48mpg without really trying.

my fave all-rounder, but got better trim.Yeti, as well, they do offer enjoyable and satisfactory rides

This isn't the first time I've wondered this, but where the hell do you film these? It's BEAUTIFUL

Had no problems with my Octavia 2019 reg. manual. Only complains a little offset driver sitting position and noises levels. Also, if to be picky little rattles noises - which disappear if you go faster ;) Build quality was a bit better in A5 Vs A7 Octavia model. And do not buy second hand DSG automatic if car is over 100k mile (ticking bomb with expensive repairs).

hate the headlights on the mk 3 fl and the mk4. i hate them enough to only ever consider buying mk 3 pre facelift no matter the age, great video by the way

Didnt like the headlights when the facelift first came out, but it has grown on me.

I have skoda octavia 2016 model and now i have problem door lock front passenger....boot button dont work...I think electrical parts its so sensitive...

Is it adviseable to use the DSG transmission (Dry Clutch) version of the skoda octavia mk3 for taxi 6:40

Does the octavia 2018 have ACC?

I have a 2015 1.6tdi DSG. Really just needed a car as my peugeot was falling to bits. Was pointed to this by my uncle who's a trader (and happened to have one sitting there) I think it's the most unsuspecting car. For a young person and petrolhead myself, it really is just a more practical golf mk7. I've done countless things to the car, most impressively fitted the 9.2inch touchscreen and digital dashboard to really bring it to 2023. Drives brilliantly, super reliable. Maybe a bit slow setting off and hesitant to use 1st like most DSG models. It also likes to chew through suspension bushes. Never thought it'll be a car I'd come to appriciate and love with it being 'Just a taxi'.

So you hauled yourself off to Keele? 🙂 The only time I've been in a Octavia was as a passenger - in a taxi to the airport, fairly anonymous but plenty of room.

In Finland Skoda Octavia was sold as the sensibel car.

How does this compare to the Greenline version on a 15 model..? Do you reckon it would have better fuel consumption or would it be on par..? I’ve heard the Greenline versions are fairly rare to purchase knowadays …

Hi JJ could u do review on Ford ecosport 2018 onwards thx

I've a Mk6 Jetta and it looks very similar to this

I've driven of the these 2 litre diesel dsg. Not exciting obviously but other than that hard to fault

Anyone tow a caravan with one of these. Just wondering how they perform

Im thinking to trade my bmw e91 325i in for a the 1.0tsi version. I know its a big power gap and a bit of comfort gap but the bmw is twice as expensive in insurance,fuel and road tax. I just dont know if itd be wise 😅

I have the Octavia mk3 1.6tdi. I'm not a fan of it. It's not grippy on the roads and doesn't feel good to drive. I'm looking to buy a Hybrid, possibly a Corolla or a Prius in the near future.

An Car.

Such a great all rounder is the Octavia, not a fan of the face lifted headlights on the one you're driving here 🤓

Gave a like only because you also don't like SUVs 😂

Not with those stupid split headlights
