Skoda Octavia I 2010 test drives - 2010 -

Stepdaughter
We bought this skeleton for testing tires of a foreign car dimension 195/65R15. Of course, she will also have other concerns because she was created on the folkvagen-golf platform of the fifth generation, one of the most modern models in the market. The car from the first days had to be included in the real work. The rearrangement alone loads the suspension and the body so that ...
Already prestigious, still available
We compare the compact sedans of the lower middle classbug do not choose only a cold mind. Here, marriage is much more often committed by love than by calculation. Although, maybe it is the highest calculation ... The secret of the popularity of compact class sedans among wealthy Russians is obviously in a successful combination of representative appearance with practicality and moderate price. All that is less ...
Formula of freedom
4x4 - it would seem an elementary formula. But how she liberates how much freedom behind her, space! How the car is transformed, such a nameplate should appear on his body! Rkoda Octavia Combi 4x4 is a bright confirmation of this. The updated Octavia with a body of the station wagon has changed much in August 2000. New bumpers appeared, headlights ...
A fight with a shadow
The previous generation Skoda Octavia was very popular. The current successes cannot yet boast of such successes, although you can’t call it a newcomer in the market. Let's try to understand the reasons. Octavia write, Golf in the mind. But Skoda is significantly different from her direct relative. It differs in a paradoxical way - being more in size, in the Volkswagen table about ...
Non -poor relative
The new Octavia car is very practical and comfortable. Yes, and in terms of pleasure from driving, she is not inferior to her German relatives. I somehow did not expect a concern for the coincidence from her. I mean this ability to pass turns. Just a couple of weeks ago, on this very road, I admired the controllability of Audi-A3. And now…
Only for their own
Octavia has been actively sold with us since 1998, and many cars have already come to change the owner. However, this Skoda rarely gets into newspaper advertisements for sale. Most of the cars diverges among relatives and acquaintances. Is three to five-year-old Octavia worthy of inheritance from hand? The dexterity of hands and no fraud outside ...
Car without compromises
Recently, some manufacturers of relatively inexpensive cars, especially domestic car factories, began to use the low price for new cars as the most powerful argument, which, incidentally, greatly affects the affection and tastes of people who want to acquire a new one, albeit not the most prestigious , car. Moreover, they do not use this cheapness ...
Have you seen the grille?
The moving Octavia is reliability itself. At a high speed, for which we specially drove to the St. Petersburg ring, the car holds a straightforwardly firm -stone. Like, however, a curve. With the speed of speed, the steering wheel is bony, and in order to remove the steering wheel from a state of clear zero, an effort is required to make. It is very, very difficult to write about such machines ...
Big step
In September 1996, the European Automobile World closely monitored the debut of the new Skoda model. Two months later, Octavia was presented in our journal (motor 7). More than a year passed, the car managed to somehow show itself, and we can already talk about the features of its operation and about the place that it will take in Russian ...
Autumn Octavia
So, Skoda Octavia. A new middle -class machine. She clearly succeeded in designers. The car turned out to be very okay and beautiful. It is perceived as a sedan, although in fact it is a notchbeck with a full -fledged rear door. In front there is a slight resemblance to Rover 600/800 thanks to the decision of the radiator grill, which will become a family line of all subsequent models ...
