Key strengths: Quality in every area.
Areas for improvement: I haven't found any yet.
My previous two cars were Skodas, very well serviced
for me at T&P. Nothing too much trouble.
I passed my driving test in 1954 and have driven more
than one and a half million miles in cars, nowadays
about 7,000 per year. Just one accident, not my fault.
Two breakdowns, one Ford and the other Citroen, none
at all in several Fiats.
The estate car has only once failed to give less than
39 mpg. I'm not a boy racer, although fast enough.
We prefer comfort and space and we need a big boot.
My only ever accident was last year when I was run into by a young driver. I was not blamed in any way.
Skoda cars are well made and very reliable, and their
dealer back-up has me hooked.
The running costs for Skoda Octavia 1.6 Ambiente Estate are normal
