The evolution of this once jokey badge continues apace, with a range of cars so adept they make it increasingly hard for the rest of the Volkswagen empire to stay ahead of what is supposed to be the budget badge of the group. If you’re still unsure, think on this: Skoda customers are the most satisfied people on earth.

Octavia
$29,990 - $39,990
It’s a Golf underneath but with extra space and a genuine big-car feel. So solid that absolutely nothing other than snobbery or an allergy to hard plastic justifies the VW.

Octavia Scout
Although it might not win an SUV badge, the Skoda Scout gains enough to distance itself from the normal Octavia.
-
Octavia vRS
Skoda markets this as its most powerful production car. This is rather like being the life and soul of the Women's Institute bake 'n' share. Your cab passengers might appreciate the quick journey, though.
-
Roomster
$26,990 - $29,290
You’ll need confidence to carry off the most challenging looks this side of Jabba the Hutt, but the confidence is justified by a really well sorted small MPV.
-
Superb
$13,325 - $22,670
Arguably a bridge too far for the brand, the Superb is an old Passat stretched on a rack and served with a name which would be ironic, if it wasn’t from the Germans.
