scoda octavia

Sometimes it is possible to have your cake and eat it. Take the Skoda Octavia vRS, for example. With its blend of blistering pace and hatchback practicality, plus a great-value pricing structure, the Czech machine is a fantastic high-performance family car. Our budget of £20,000 buys you a factory-fresh example.

Fitted with the 200bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine also used by its VW Golf GTI cousin, the Octavia has true hot hatch credentials, while the huge cabin and load bay will swallow pretty much everything a family can throw at it.

If you require greater versatility and lower running costs, then how about considering a delivery mileage estate with the punchy 168bhp 2.0-litre diesel powerplant?

Take the plunge and you’ll be enjoying one of motoring’s best-kept secrets.
