I like modern Skodas. We’re on our second Octavia (a Scout).
Our first – a 2nd Gen Octavia on a 54 plate – was chosen in comparison to the Mk IV Golf, and it offered more space, equal performance, slightly less than equal build quality (but the Mk IV Golf was hewn from stone anyway), more kit, and subjectively was better looking. Oh, and 3k cheaper may have been one of the selling points also…….
Anyway.
The current design philosophy of Skoda is not – for me – pleasing on the eye; a combination of parrot fish nose and evil slanty eyes which is re-directing me to other marques. However, I must admit that the Superb Estate is not a bad looker at all. Not bad at all.
But. If buying one, I would have to insist on de-badging it. Nononono, not the Skoda one, the “Superb” one.
