Skoda Octavia Mild Hybrid

Got this one for my wife but like the drive so much that I kept it to myself and left her with the old car.

Design wise it's a very good looking car and very spacious inside for 5 adults

Skoda Octavia is my best car I have own. Among 5 cars i have own within 3 years, Skoda is the best as the Performance is awesome and fuel efficiency is excellence. Drove a bmw before and Skoda have taken over bmw in my heart. Skoda is a good family sedan car. Car design is very nice and suitable for a long term drive without getting tired of the car. Highly recommend Octavia.

Been drive my Skoda Octavia Style for few days, this car is extremely awesome. Pick up speed and torque speed is super powerful. Skoda Octavia is my Best car I have owned. This car is very specious and car performance is so much better than expected. Skoda is a bread and butter car. Car is so much better as compare to other car brand. Super love this car and highly recommend.

The Skoda Octavia is the bread-and-butter car, from a pretty bread-and-butter brand that want to appeal to the practical-minded person.

How do you think it performs?

Great driving experience. Exactly the same good feelings on both Audi A3 & entry level Bimmer.

The new Skoda Octavia now comes with body creases that melt into the grille design, as well as a sport rear, a far cry from the boxy, industrial Octavias of old. Yummy.

The Skoda Octavia has ditched the old factory-stamped design for something that is now has a very sleek and cohesive.

A comfortable and practical fastback overall.

The new model has solved the less attractive rear view found in older models and retained all the other good aspects of the car.

1. Nice drive even in normal mode. Spirited drive in sports mode.

2. Great legroom for driver and passengers.

3. Well thought through items like wireless mobile phone charging even with my thick protective phone case on.

4. Humongous boot to fit 4 large suitcases or probably 4 golf bags.

5. Sound insulation is fantastic.

6. Nice sound system.

7. Cruise control and auto hold.

8. Signature umbrella holders for front seats.

9. Pay less than $700 annual road tax and enjoy decent powered car.

10. 5 years servicing and 1 year road tax

11. Front and back cameras.

12. Assuring drive with solid build.

In a competitive market with the new generation Hyundai Avante (Elantra), Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla Altis, why would someone pay the premium (partly due to it's Cat B horsepower) for a continental that's not one of the household brands?

In terms of features, 2021 Hyundai Avante's got it beat (sunroof, wireless Apple carplay and Android auto, and ventilated seats), at a more competitive price point. Avante's longer wheelbase means more rear passenger room too.

But the Octavia wins in terms of how solid and reliable it's built to be in an accident, the responsiveness of the engine, smooth negotiation of bends and humps, ergonomics of the seats, the understated luxurious cockpit and massive 600L boot space, and a sound system with ample bass. Last but not least, the aesthetics. It's exterior design (which matches the language and style of the interior) makes it look quietly sophisticated with all the functionality and practicality of a family sedan.

Just test drive it - and you'll understand.
