Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Elegance CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Whitworth, 16 May 2008 09:31

Skoda’s Superb flagship has always been a leftfield option among mainstream motorway fodder. It had two difficult names to overcome, generic Volkswagen-esque styling, a lot of hand-me-down componentry and no real heritage to speak off. That didn't stop 12,500 brave souls from buying one in the UK. Skoda reckons its new Superb will be a far more attractive proposition when ...

Skoda Fabia Estate 1.9 TDi CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 11 December 2007 11:43

We know you can barely contain your excitement at the prospect of a new Fabia Estate, so we'll get right down to business. The latest Fabia supermini is a fine and fun little thing, and the old Fabia estate has a dedicated following. In it’s own quiet way this new version is actually kind of important. Especially as the small estate ...

Skoda Roomster Scout 1.9 TDi CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 07 June 2007 02:45

Dib dib dib, the Roomster’s gone scouting… Yep, Skoda’s quirky-looking mini-MPV dons a neckerchief and becomes the Roomster Scout. The ‘transformation’ includes a hike in ride height – the Scout sitting some 43mm higher than the conventional Roomster – more rugged-looking bumpers, wheelarch extensions, roof rails, tinted windows from the B-pillar back, a tyre pressure monitor and exclusive 16-inch alloy ...

Skoda Octavia Scout 2.0 CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 27 February 2007 08:23

Skoda Octavia Scout: sounds a bit Dib Dib Dib? It’s Skoda’s way of describing mildly tweaked ‘off-road’ versions of its cars. With this model, it’s taken the Octavia 4x4 estate and made it longer, wider and higher by raising the ride height and adding extra body kit. The result actually looks quite sensible. Lifting a car by four centimetres might ...

Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDi CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 05 February 2007 11:48

Looks like the new Roomster, but without the cut-and-shut treatment That’s because the Fabia and Roomster are the only Skodas so far to wear the new corporate nose. The Czech firm wants to move away from the ultra-conservative styling of cars like the Octavia. So it’s equally new underneath? Not quite. Volkswagen used the first Fabia as a testing ground ...

Skoda Octavia vRS TDi CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 21 November 2006 08:29

A diesel? I thought the vRS was Skoda's GTi. It is. The vRS comes with either the 197bhp FSi turbo 2.0-litre from the Golf GTi or now, with this 2.0 common-rail diesel. It’s the newer, more powerful version of that engine too, producing 168bhp and 258lb ft of torque, up 30bhp and 22bhp on the version offered in the more ...

Skoda Roomster 1.4 CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 31 July 2006 03:47

Is that really a Skoda? It sure is. The Roomster is the standard bearer for a new range of design-led Skodas, which means next year's new Fabia will be far more interesting than the current model, and expect the Yeti softroader, out in 2008, to stay true to its concept. Under the skin, the Roomster uses a combination of Fabia ...
