Skoda

Skoda

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. 

  • Skoda Fabia

    Fabia

    £8,000 - £13,755

    Oh to have been a fly on the wall when the bloke behind the VW Polo was asked to explain why Skoda’s version is better. ‘You have disappointed me, number two…’   

  • Skoda Octavia

    Octavia

    £10,321 - £21,830

    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.

  • Skoda Octavia Scout

    Octavia Scout

    £17,255 - £19,850

    Although it might not win an SUV badge, the Skoda Scout gains enough other ones

     

  • Skoda Octavia vRS

    Octavia vRS

    £17,280 - £20,360

    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.

  • Skoda Roomster

    Roomster

    £9,278 - £13,930

    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.

  • Skoda Superb

    Superb

    £15,250 - £25,975

    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.

  • Skoda Yeti

    Yeti

    £13,095 - £21,465

    A crossover SUV/hatch designed to fight the Nissan Qashqai, with a decent sprinkling of rough-road ability and a flexible cabin in which to pack children.
