Question about Skoda estate cars

Hi all.

Just joined the site as I'm looking to buy a skoda estate. Been looking the Fabia estate and Octavia but I have a question about interior numbers.

I'm interested in using the car for camping and wanted to find out a couple of numbers. I've found some stats through the RIDC but I wanted to confirm them here.

So my questions are:

What is the distance from back of front seats to boot in the Skoda Fabia Mk2 estate when the seats are folded flat?

What is the same length in the Mk3 and can you get the seats down flat?

Can the seats go flat in both generations of the Octavia estate?

I haven' got the budget (about £7,000) to get the best but have I my eyes locked on a Skoda.

Thank you for any replies that come my way.

Hi, welcome,

You might be a VW (Škoda) fan, I'm not so I'd always look at older Toyotas or Hondas for longer lasting and more reliable and less running expense (as always with used cars of course based on current condition and a thorough cross check of any history presented).

The rear seat bases of the Fabia Mk3 estate (Combi) can be removed, whether the estate rear seat backs fully fold flat I don't know. Looking at the Owner's Manuals for each model and (part) year will give you some information on the seats and lots of other information about the model, link to follow.

I would suggest looking and/or asking in each of the model and mark forums for information on each model to get real world real owners' information (as well as looking at the Owner's Manuals) links to follow. My wife's Mk3 Fabia is a hatch or I'd get a tape measure out for you. I can only say the MK3 hatch had the most spacious cabin for its class, at the time it was new at least.

HTH.
