I am not yet a Skoda owner but for th past 26 years have been running Mazda 626/6/323 cars from new. I am therefore accustomed to reliable motoring (I take it for granted now) but am now considering kicking against the high cost of Mazda franchise servicing. I am temporarily running a "family" Ka.
I am deeply interested in buying a new Octavia 1.9 diesel hatchack Elegance. I understand that the reliability/build quality of the Octavia is excellent, but I have heard of and read about issues that some owners have with unusual levels of oil consumption. Is this an Octavia diesel problem?
I would appreciate owner feed back on this issue, and any other "annoying" issues as I propose to keep my next car for 10 years/100000 miles.
Can any one infrm me please
