We have had this car for about two years from new. Basically it's an Audi under the bonnet, but for about half the price. We have had no problems and it's a great drive and is REALLY economical on fuel. Looks great too!
The car is only 3 months old so it's too early to say how good it will turn out in the long run. If it proves to be as reliable as my last Octavia, then I'll be more than happy. So far no problems, but I'm driving this car on very poor Polish roads, and this may in the end cause premature suspension problems. I'm very impressed with the improvements over the old Octavia in all areas, though I had few complaints with the first car. Hopefully I'll be able to recomend the Octavia 2 as strongly as the first 1.
