Skoda Octavia  (old)

The first-generation Octavia is still a car to be reckoned with. It may have slipped from its best-ever placing of fourth in 2005, but it’s lost none of its appeal, finishing 12th for running costs and 19th for practicality. Only 76th for comfort and 55th in handling let the Golf-based Czech hatchback down.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

Well done, Skoda. New cars such as the Fabia and the success of the Octavia have helped it hold on to second. Owners love the low running costs, practicality and driving experience.
