Evening all, 

 

Having been away from Skoda's for 4 years - I'm on the verge of returning. Always appreciated the support & advice of this forum - so look forward to getting stuck back in! 

Hi there, what model are you thinking of?

I'm going to look both at a 2012 1.4 petrol & a 2012 1.6TDI. The petrol only has 38k miles on the clock and seems to have been looked after. 

 

My last Octavia 4 years ago was a 1.9TDI. No experience of the ptrol engine. But reviews seem encouraging. 

Hello LLCC welcome back to the Skoda forum.

Depends on the mileage you're doing.  Do you do enough to justify the diesel again? I used to have a few 1.4 petrol Octavias years ago but these were the older and less powerful versions.  I've driven the newer ones though and they seem well up to the job.
