Here's a little something for all those who hate skodas!
CZECH MATE
BY ANDY ENRIGHT
What's the best way to rumble someone who knows nothing about cars? Wait until they crack a joke about Skodas. Whereas
once Skodas were a byword for automotive catastrophe, these days buying a Skoda marks its driver down as Someone Who Knows
About Cars. What goes around comes around, and Skodas are now amongst the most sought after used car buys around. The car
that firmly put the Czech concern on the map is the Octavia. Despite the 'three-box'body, the Octavia is in fact a five-door
hatchback. An estate version was subsequently launched, and the Octavias were so far ahead of the competition that the only
thing they had to fear were VW group siblings such as the SEAT Toledo and VW Bora.
