Dude, matt, mutt...whatever. Before stating subjectively that it is not as quiet as a golf, just either compare them at the same time, same brand of tires and same engine and then talk. Or even try to consult databases and/or other comparative tests that actually show that it is as or more quiet than the afforementioned VW.
Its Skoda. Dull,stupid,cheap and uninspiring. And made of VW parts which means its crap too. Yeah,it has angular shape which some may equal to solidity and quality but underneath is..same VW toilet.
This car’s design stood the test of time very well! The original design is from 2013 and today almost in 7 years later, it still looks good for another few years.

If you don't need to fold down the back seats, then there is a place for the trunk cover just behind them, you just slide it in there. Then it is parallel to the backrest. Used it myself that way multiple times.
Petr Lohnický exactly ! I was about to write about it but then I noticed your comment. It's a pretty clever way to store that trunk shelf. I wonder how Matt didn't see it! It's part of the simply clever philosophy of the brand.
Right..The built quality is not that good in octavia...You can feel it if you sit in one...For example the door handles feel really cheap and other nasty plastics...
@@tomgl6684 Octavia is 2013. Facelift has been done but it was really a small thing. After 3 years of driving it I have to say that it didn’t age very well. I actually feel that when I’m jumping the in Passat it’s more premium (especially the seats…. Oh the seats!!…)
As always, Mat, a good review. I like Skoda and bought a new Octavia 4 x 4 estate in 2005. Kept it four years and traded it in for a new BMW 5 SE with all the bells and whistles. Still don't know to this day why I did so. The Octavia was a great car and brilliant in snow. Though I really like my BMW it is not worth twice what I paid for my Octavia.
I have the 2015 model, there actually is a place for the top tray in the boot, you lift it up and slide it down against the back of the seats, and you don't lose a lot of boot space either. I had the 2008 model too and it was the same. I'm a taxi driver, and in ten years in an Octavia I've never been unable to fit all the luggage in the boot. I clocked up 800,000km on the last one, great car.
I'm not a taxi driver but am considering an Octavia, as i drive about 45,000 miles (around 75000 km) per year. What are your thoughts between 1.6tdi and 2.0tdi? I drive mainly motorway, 70-80mph (110-130kph) and am most concerned about fuel efficiency!
@@TF-qd8ru 1.6 tdi is more efficient afaik. My father has a 1.6, easily gets over 60mpg on the motorway, sometimes even 70 depending on conditions. Can do a full trip from Manchester to brimingham and back in £20
@@TF-qd8ru I wouldn't know that from real world usage but checking combined mpg figures (which, incidentally, are about the same as the figures my dad gets on the motorway) the 2L does only 2mpg less. Do bear in mind that you might be a tax band dearer because the larger engine is more pollutant. Still I think its around £30, whereas with the 1.6 you'd be around £20, or some models like my dad's only produce 99g/km with the 1.6 engine so that's £0. (it's the lowest trim and manual. Only add on it has is stop start) I'd imagine you could quite easily still manage Manchester to Birmingham and back in £20 with the 2.0.
perhaps they would do good in canada but americans want bigger engines and skoda has small engines so they wouldnt do good in us which has a large share in the north america market
AMericans are too superficial and clueless about cars to be able to appreciate something as a Skoda that has an understated quality. In other words, not enough fake chrome and shiny plastic to appear to americans.
It's not less expensive where I live, but I must applaud the petrol engines. While the rest of the industry downsized its engines, Mazda did the complete opposite. The base engine is a 1.5L, but I'd avoid that one because you can get a proper 2.0L with 120hp or 150hp and it's great for low fuel consumption at highway speeds, instant torque and low maintenance. I'd much MUCH rather have a 2.0L 4 naturally aspirated engine, than the 1.0L or 1.4L TSI forced-induction engines that VW currently offers (the rest of the industry is doing similar stunts). Small petrol engines actually use more fuel when you go fast and downsizing with turbos equals shorter longevity. Car companies are reducing their production costs by producing these small turbo engines and increasing maintenance costs for the consumer, which is a disaster.
Very little of this instant torque, 1.4 TSI is much quicker. And more economical in real life. Mazda's 2.0 Skyactiv isn't all that economical. Here's actual consumption scored in similar conditions: Model / advertised consumption / tested real world consumption Ford Focus 1.0 EB 125hp / 4.7 l/100km / 7.0 l/100km Honda Civic IX 1.8 140hp / 6.1 l/100km / 7.7 l/100km Kia Cee'd 1.0 turbo 120hp/ 4.9 l/100km / 7.1 l/100km Mazda 3 2.0 120hp M/T / 5.1 l/100km / 7.4 l/100km Nissan Pulsar 1.2 115hp/ 5.0 l/100km / 6.6 l/100km Opel Astra 1.4T 125hp / 5.1 l/100km / 7.0 l/100km Peugeot 308 1.2 130hp / 4.6 l/100km / 6.2 l/100km Renault Megane 1.2 130hp/ 5.3 l/100km / 7.1 l/100km Seat Leon 1.4 TSI 125hp/ 5.2 l/100km / 6.4 l/100km VW Golf 1.4 TSI 125hp / 5.2 l/100km / 6.4 l/100km In the real world 1.4 TSI uses 1l/100km less than 2.0 Skyactiv.
7:04 there is a way to store the parcel shelf. Slightly raise the front of parcel shelf out of its pivot then slide down guide at the back of the seat.
I don't understand why they still not put gas struts in the hood, it is so cheap to add and makes it so much easier for the mechanic or even for checking fluids
As a single traveller or two people who are very close, you can camp in the back of one of these you just need a sheet of wood to level up the lip bung a mattress and duvet in the back and do the Scottish NC500 in it... You could probably live in it if you were desperate.
Since when was £17k a budget price? You could get an Octavia for £10,995 in 2010? It's far from budget and like for like is as expensive as a Focus and more expensive than an Astra I have one, it's a great car, but it's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination
krellay it starts at £17k - yes it has a bit more knee room in the back, however, front space is average, the car feels narrower and lower than the generation before it and the estate is not as practical. I own one, I still decided it was a better package and their 0% finance swung it. Still expensive for what it is.
Jim oh, wasn't aware that it starts at that price. Yikes, that is quite expensive for a starting version, I do agree with you. I also got octavia 2014, it has decent equipment and it was around 12-13k (it was a used car with 30,000 kilometers)
Jim Bob if 99% of people are idiots, that means, you can say whatever you can as long as you sound confident, one guy once told me confidently "yea, my rav4 was 4wd but i converted it to bi-turbo".
Mat, I think you should adjust rear headrests when sampling rear space. In some modern cars they don't extend enough, so as to prevent neck injury in an event of a rear-end crash.
I actually like the way how the inner parts of the headlights continue the shape of the grill though I don't like how boxy the lights are... It just looks too old-school.
He says the 1.0 engine is no good you need the 1.5 engine however when he did the review in 2013 of this car he recommended the 1.2 engine as all you need . I have this car with the 1.2 engine and it’s fantastic in fact it feels just as powerful as a 1.8 non turbo engine which I used to have in my old mondeo
Pls review the estate version! I would like to order my next lease, but want to know if it's more pratical than the hatchback and better then the previous version.
When came out back in 2013, Octavia III looked like it borrowed some design elements (rear lights especially) from old Audi A6 (C6).And now it have borrowed headlights from old E class. Pre-facelift version look more mature than this one.
Almost every car has at least 1 annoying LHD to RHD conversion issue. Here it’s the buttons on the screen fixed on the left. Oh, and the handbrake too.
Still can't believe they did that to the front. The pre-facelift front was utterly brilliant and nice and clean, why would they go all E-Class on it? Especially since Mercedes spent a ridiculous sum on the mother of all facelifts to fix that E-Class so that people would buy it.
This was two years ago... the prices have gone up by quite a margin again. The Octavia spec What Car? recommend and the Citigo are literally only a few hundred quid behind their VW equivalents now. Think sadly we live in an age of instant gratification, where people have been fooled into thinking never-never financial arrangements are "a better deal" than using cash and have learnt nothing from the lessons of the last decade. Car financing and PCP, is of course, a good deal for the manufacturer and the used car industry... not for you. If it wasn't the case, car financing companies and dealers wouldn't be in the lucrative business of creating debtors.
Hi Matt, if you get a chance, could you please do a video on the current diesels legislation that is being planned on? is it worth getting a diesel now and will the price drop dramatically ? thanks Akhil.
the thing with the bottle in rear doors is pretty silly, you can't squeeze it there, I don't know why did you even try it...it is not shame if it can take smaller bottle
I've the 2016 1.6 DSG diesel... Average 52mpg (5.5l/100km) and across Europe it managed 56mpg (5l/100km) at a little higher speed than recommended, especially through Germany. Car was packed to brim, so carried plenty of weight, yet it was still economical. Water pump went on it twice though, turned out expensive, been told it's a common problem.
Good review as normal matt bit disappointing the Octavia no cooker fridge or tv who needs a house not good if you suffer from agrophobia though joking apart Skoda cars excellent value
I remember with certain Volvos of the past that they had flat load areas when the rear seats were folded , why can't modern car manufacturers include this useful feature , most have this annoying step or where the rear seats don't flip up to make a flat load load . Car manufacturers wake up !!
there is a magazin in germany for used cars, who check how cars age over time, and how reliable they are compared to the average car, so red means worse, yellow means average and green means better than average, the golf e.g. is totally green for the last 5 years and the octavia is red...so i don't know, if you have to pay for stuff, which is not kept by warranty more for the octavia than you save compared to a golf estate e.g. if you are into VW compact cars... a renault megane grandtour with HUD, massage, bose sound and LED headlights costs arround 10 grand less, and even offers allwheelsteering.

Would love to see a review of the Mazda 3. Seems like an interesting (slightly less expensive?) alternative to the likes of the Golf and Focus.
Slightly more expensive to buy and own, lacking torque, with harsh suspension and old infotainment system.
What is it that makes it more expensive to own?
Wouldn't be a fan if it had an uncomfortable ride

Taillights are not all LED, turn signals and reverse light are still bulbs.
they just split the headlights in half.
But its just so quirky and kinda funny that i like it

there is a magazin in germany for used cars, who check how cars age over time, and how reliable they are compared to the average car, so red means worse, yellow means average and green means better than average, the golf e.g. is totally green for the last 5 years and the octavia is red...so i don't know, if you have to pay for stuff, which is not kept by warranty more for the octavia than you save compared to a golf estate e.g. if you are into VW compact cars... a renault megane grandtour with HUD, massage, bose sound and LED headlights costs arround 10 grand less, and even offers allwheelsteering.
Please do a review of suzuki Ciaz sedan
Omg! Mat in glasses is LOVE! 😂
@Carwow, Skoda Octavia models made in 2015 has same space in the back seat like the one in the video?
did you really put the fact that it has a heavy hood on the annoyng things ?
when is the porsche Panamera review coming?
I dont know if it came to the UK but if its possible can you review the Renault Talisman diesel?
You forgot to mention in the five annoying things about it, that the lever for the bonnet is on the left side of the car and not in the drivers side.
Those lights would look awesome if the outer ones were somehow 20% longer
No cup holders in the front center?
hmm... rear lights all LED, all but the signals and the rear driving...
Octavia Estate 2018 vs Superb Estate 2018?
Why are all the comments about the headlights? Well... They are horrible!
those headlights look bad on video but seriously it looks sick in real life
Looks like a good company car! Or commuter.
why don't you review the kia optima?
Since when is £17,000 a budget price? Most cars are too expensive to buy now, they just want you to rent one instead.
Giving the entry level price and show the high end model without giving the price of that model is so dishonest. Most reviewers are doing this.
