The SKODA OCTAVIA (2013-17) 5DR ESTATE 1.2 TSI SS 110 EU6 S 6SPD is a family-sized estate: a practical alternative to an SUV, with a roomy cabin and generous boot for everyday loads. In the UK, the Octavia is known as a sensible, spacious mainstream choice, offering more carrying capacity than a hatchback without the bulk of a large estate. The 1.2-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual suit commuting, school runs and weekend trips, while the estate body makes it especially appealing to families, dog owners and anyone carrying bulky shopping or hobby gear. It is a comfortable, easy-going all-rounder rather than a sporty performer; its blend of usable space, straightforward driving and modest running costs has helped the Octavia compete strongly with estate versions of the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf.
