Octavia: the sensible vehicle with a weak point

The Skoda Octavia is a popular vehicle with families as well as fleet operators. The Czech is particularly convincing as a station wagon, which scores with Wolfsburg-based group technology. It can hold up to 1740 liters, the hatchback swallows up to 1580 liters of luggage. The spacious one is an inexpensive alternative to VW Octavia. It is solidly made and with its firm seat and firm cushioning it is a pleasant companion even on long journeys. However, its weak point is less positive. Broken springs occur from the first skin examination.
Convincing superb

The Superb, Skoda’s flagship, is also popular as a company car. It offers plenty of space for passengers and luggage, is safe (maximum number of points in the Euro NCAP crash test) and also scores well on the lift of the TÜV testers. Despite the high mileage, it has been built since 2015 Superb (Type 3V) as well as the predecessor (Type 3T) little to criticize. A problem area of the Superb however, are the springs that break far too often. As with the Octavia the numbers in this area are well above average. Annoying: In addition, the vulnerable brake discs are noticeable on the Superb that is only over two years old. However, there are also vehicles that are now only available as used cars. In addition to the Yeti, this also includes the Roomster and Rapid. How these and other Skoda models performed in the TÜV report, AUTO BILD shows in the picture gallery!
