Drove the all-new Skoda Octavia yesterday,
hence no blog. Picked the likely top-seller as my test car – the 1.6-litre
1.05bhp diesel – and overall I think it’s a decent bit of kit. It’s certainly
comfortable, roomy and with plenty of standard equipment on it. The big
disappointment for me was the ride. I found it unsettled on anything less than
the smoothest tarmac, and didn’t feel it soaked up the bumps and lumps of back
roads very well at all. My other concern is how it fits into the Skoda range. The
company puts the Rapid in the C-segment and the Octavia in the D, but with only
17cm in length between them that’s an ambitious segregation. I wonder if
potential customers will notice at all.
