obi604

What do people think of this car : Skoda Octavia 1.8 tsi from 2010 onwards

I know its not the nicest to look at

Looks like hardly any of them in Ireland

But does anyone have any hands on experience with them or know any know issues with them

Any comments at all ?? )

They still sold Petrol cars in 2010? Don't remember seeing any.........................

I think that's probably the reason no one has come back, I'd say a non diesel Octy would be a rare sight since 2009.

There are plenty of threads on Octavia's which will give you the general gist of them (there may be a mention of the boot size in one or two of them), and there was a recent thread about the A4 1.8Tfsi, which is essentially the same engine. I did a quick check on some of the 120ps 1.8Tfsi's that we had and non were showing any issues.

The Tsi 160 models were actually cheaper than the comparable 2.0Tdi 140 versions.

mmmmmm, right.

Even with the above, there seem to be feck all 1.8TSI models for sale in Ireland

I'd say you have a better chance of finding an honest politician in this country than a 1.8 TSi Octavia.

There is only one on carzone and that's a 08 160bhp version, decent spec but still crazy asking price considering you would be married to it:

Was just checking the VRT there for a 2011 1.8 tsi Octavia

The rate is 24% for the manual
The rate is 20% for the automatic

Surprising............
