Skoda Octavia and Karoq?

[dilshant80]

Anyone have any thoughts about the Skoda Octavia 1.0 turbo and Karoq 1.0 turbo? Both are reasonably priced and offer value for money with loads of space and options.

Furthermore Skoda is now owned by Volkswagen and therefore share the same parts as the Golf, Polo etc.

Recently found out that V*** M**** who are the reliable non agent service providers for European brands, provide warranty and service support for Skoda as well.

BTW lets leave second hand market out of the discussion since its not a Toyota

Competitors for the Octavia would be (in terms of price):

- Honda Civic 1.0 hatchback

- Audi A3

Competitors for the Karoq would be (in terms of price):

- Toyota CH-R

- Honda Vezel

only some body parts would be different to VW,Audi main brands. what about prices?

Who is the local agent?

Well I have been dealing with V**wa for past several years. However for some issues it required agent assistance.

Skodas are usually built in the Czech republic, based on older VW and Audi vehicle platforms. And they are spinning a good profit for the VW group,by reusing older factory tooling.

Yes you are right. Both are manufactured in Czech Republic. Pricing wise Octavia is 6m and Karoq is 7.8m
