Family - Skoda Octavia

Skoda’s Octavia is a superb all-round family car

skoda octavia

Another model which has excelled in Driver Power – it was our overall winner last year – Skoda’s Octavia is a superb all-round family car. The choice of used models available at our £7,500 limit is eye-opening. We found everything from a 2008 one-owner 85,000-mile hot vRS to dependable 20,000-mile 1.6 petrol versions from the same year – all within budget.
