Skoda appreciation post
« on: October 31, 2021, 05:59:01 pm »
Driving a Skoda occy as a taxi the year and covered the usual high milage a taxi driver does and literally not so much as one fault with it. Do the usual service every 10k and keep her in check. Always drove a Japanese before this, needless to say I won't be be going back.

I scraped my Octavia a few weeks ago  :P 










Admittedly, it was over 14 years old with over 480,000km on the clock.  Nice car but a smidgen small and the smelly drunks could get too close to you.  Driving a silent electric yoke now so I'll probably hear every fart & belch they emit.  Swings and roundabouts!

My memory of me octavia was definitely great road holding ...loved manual gearbox was great in the snow ....a tank ....
Comfortable seat , roomy ,  loads head room ....got rheumatoid toe from the clutch peddle ...heavy fukerr......headlight bulbs went nearly every month ..flywheel  needed  change every 100 k   ....liked the key lock button that opened  or closed all the windows ....timing belt change every 100 k a pain in the hole ......

Prious is infinitely more  reliable but made for midgets ......its a cnut of an uncomfortable box ....

I too had an octavia a few years back. Worst car I ever had. The clutch was turning to dust and had to be replaced every 5 or 6 weeks.  The brake pads were lasting longer than the clutch.  Brought it to 3 different mechanics. After it started slipping after the 3rd replacement I binned it. Never again. Toyota all the way for me.
