Skoda Octavia estate any good?

Need a new daily hack, do quite a lot of miles are the tdi estates any good.

Got about a 2k budget.is this enough. any thingi should look out for?


Thanks Collie

 

basically same as mk4 tdi but i dont think it had the same engine options.

my sis had a saloon, went okay.

 

I've got a 2000 X plate 2.0i 8v Elegance hatch - had it about 6 months and its fine as a daily - no ball of fire by any means, but it does the job and was cheap!

 

Bog standard 90hp TDI estate should be fine, can't see why not. Taxi's in Gran Caneria were basically full of Skoda Octavia TDI estates and I liked them.

 

Dad's got an S plate 90bhp GLX extate and it seems to go pretty well, although its had some work done to it by Diesel Bob as the original fuel pump disintegrated for some reason.

I've towed my trailer with Jetta on and it coped surprisingly well.

The only thing i'd say is that the ride is a little hard and the seats are too - much more comfy in my hatch.

 

Thanks all

 

you'll be able to get an a4 b5 avant tdi for 2k I recon, nice cars.

 

Got a 2004 90bhp TDI myself mate. Had it about 2 years, got 130k on the clock. Can't fault it. Comfy, quick enough, great on fuel and really practical.
