The Skoda Octavia is very loosely based upon one of Volkswagen’s most popular models, the Golf. However, a larger body is traded for some of Volkswagen more premium touches. However, because the Octavia is such good value for money, it competes against much smaller rivals, such as the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf, and Hyundai i30, which are certainly less practically. This 2017 model has just received a facelift, so what’s new? I’ll explore all this practical hatchback has to offer in this in-depth video review.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

The whole fold-over back-seats for the extra ease of boot space is probably the only bad thing about what Skoda is doing with their cars. That is, just letting the back of the seats fold over, instead of the dual fold.. or whatever :) But honestly how often do you use that, really. Amazing car manufacturer and can't wait to see what they do in the future.

My thoughts on my 17 plate 'normal headlights' 1.6tdi select estate. 11 months old, 24'000 miles (all by me) Good Satnav is great (albeit odd to get a postcode into at first) Adaptive cruise control is fantastic Economy (for me with a manual) has never dropped lower than 50 mpg Centre arm rest is hight and length adjustable The 12 v charges (1 in the front,1 in the boot) are live 24/7 Digital speedo is nice and large Boot is massive Still on its original tyres. Steering lock (turning circle) is almost on par with a London taxi Ice scrapper in the fuel flap seemed like a stupid idea when I picked the car up last March,for the last month it has seemed a brilliant idea Bad The seat squabs are short The 1.6 diesel (in 110 bhp) has chuff all torque,so often a gearchange down is required Mirrors don't fold when you lock the car Headlight brightness is nothing special Bonnet (as matt says) is heavy and gas struts would be nice Brake pads (original) cover the alloys in brake dust Hill hold (it has a manual handbrake,but also electronic Hill hold) is rather violent when driven through (it holds for 3 seconds) My battery went flat(a issue known to skoda but only whispered about) resulting in an AA call out and warrenty battery change at skoda Small petrol tank,but big fuel gauge All in all the best company car I have had to date.

Regardless of how you feel about the headlights, this facelift brings a lot more to the table than just them. The interior lights are great, new infotainment, led lheadlights with auto dimming based on traffic.... why would I care more on something that I won't ever see while driving than be glad for all the improvements in the cabin where it really counts.

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.
@sic22l

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.

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

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.
