updated sedan Skoda Octavia

Skoda Octavia
Remember the bright yellow "charged" hatchback Seat Leon Cupra? Causing appearance, fine motor, hazard controllability, tenacious brakes - this drayversky car, which was supposed to stay in our garage until the end of September. But, apparently, not destiny. "Cuprite" in urgent need of representation. And for good ...

"Seatovskoe" place in the garage it was decided to take a more practical car, which is not such a manic passion devours gasoline, in whose cabin noise is not as if the factory forgot to install noise insulation, and where you do not feel every pavement cracks. On the replacement of "Cupra" came the updated sedan Skoda Octavia, which is produced in the company of the group Volkswagen in Kaluga.


So, we received the "Octavia" light beige, with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine capacity of 122 horse power and six-speed manual gearbox. Complete set - basic. It includes air conditioning, MP3-sound, light and rain sensors, on-board computer, electric mirrors with heating, as well as electric front-glass-lifts.

In our machine added options like rear parktronika, stabilization system, fog lamps, lit turns, front armrest, tire pressure sensor, 16-inch rims, and so on. At the base of this machine is 695 thousand rubles, and any "????????" increased the price of the Octavia at almost 100 thousand rubles.

First impressions? Silence. At idle the engine in the passenger does not hear in the first few minutes of acquaintance, after setting up the mirrors and seat, the hand is drawn to key in the ignition to start the motor again. Stopped the tachometer needle that are suspended just below a thousand revolutions per minute, indicating that the engine does work.


But if the "static" in the cabin is quiet, then disperse from under the bonnet is distributed growl, as if there is not a normal engine with the "average" 122 force, but something much more "evil". In addition to that on rough asphalt begin to plague too loud tires, even though it is, in principle, the only extraneous noise penetrating into the car. And the creaking of any irregularities on the back of the right stanchion padding begins frankly annoying ...

But this pain in the neck "cricket" the only thing that I do not like in the cabin "Octavio". Otherwise, the procedure is complete: perfect ergonomics, space, as if this is not a golf class at all, a nice soft plastic center console, good visibility. Comfortable, quiet, but dullish ... No designer sophistications.

After some time, drew attention to the fact that the Tape recorders, even though the "basic" car, a very good sound, but when switching to the next station or the track on the disk volume is slightly priglushaetsya.

Exterior updated Skoda Octavia in comparison with the predecessor has changed too much: There are new headlights head light with "inlaid" model, other bumpers and fenders, as well as a slightly modified rear lights, in which the central strip has become transparent and not red, as earlier. That's all. Changes little, so far to distinguish the updated version of the previous car is quite difficult.

As the car behaves on the road and how to communicate with him every day, we will soon explain. "Octavia" is in our garage a month. Time to get enough.
