Ok lads looking for the pros and cons of both

tax would be cheaper on the cordoba,how do the cordoba's fair out for mpg?
i love the boot on the octavia but the tax is a killer

The tax difference is €6ish a week, shouldn't be a factor really. If the purchase costs are much of a muchness and both have similar mileage I'd go for the Octavia, especially if the extra space is needed. A Cordoba is quite small as saloons go.

octavia will be bigger, more comfortable and more powerfull

yeah i think the octavia would be the better choice as its going to be a family car ,so the boot in the octavia would be better for my needs

Cordoba is a saloon version of the Ibiza, the Ibiza is in the same class as the Fabia which is a supermini in the segment below the bigger Octavia hatchback. Not really comparing like with like.

^^^^^^^Spot on.


I drove a Cordoba myself for 2 years, tbh I absolutely hated the feel of the car. Zero enjoyment. I would go for the Skoda

Exactly as said already.
The Cordoba is a better looking Fabia Sedan.
Which is a class below the octavia.

So, if the purchase cost is relatively similar I would also go for the Octavia.

Had both.
Cordoba is very economical
Grand for short trips
Not much legroom in the back
Fit 2 people in the boot

Noisy on a long trip if you push it on..

Octavia
Economical
Comfy for all trips
Plenty of legroom in the back for a family
Fit the whole family in the boot.:pac:
While not the quietest car on the road it is nowhere as noisy as the Cordoba.

My choice?
Octavia.;)
