Dear all,
I'm Mattia from Italy. Wanted to share with you all my experience with Škoda.
In July 2022 I had to buy a second hand car, keeping in mind that: the following year (2023) I'd have to collect money for my marriage, but also that I started a mortgage 1 year before... And to end I wanted to enlarge the family. My wife and me live in northern Italy, being my hometown 1200 kms away and my wife's 900 kms.
So, 2nd hand cars were a pain in the *SS for what regards their value, so I decided stated all above, to buy an mkII Octy Wagon 1.6 tdi with 210k kms. I took it with 5k€, saying 'OK I'll take it one year or so". Now I'm at 250k, I took the decision to change the clutch (not the single mass flywheel) and the 4 shock absorbers.
I love my little Octy, it's not the latest model but it's worth every cent! And I make 17.5 kml in highway with 4 people on board, ac on and cruise set to 135 kmh.
Sorry for the long post.
Cheers to all
Mattia
