Yet another "What Car" thread

[Niall]

Not sure on prices because i haven't looked but Octavia TDi? I had one and it was the 1.9 PD. Rattly and noisy but i have to give it some credit, it was bullet proof, good on fuel considering its an old engine and cheap to service. The actual car was no thrills but was comfortable, drove well and was just typical VAG really. Boring as f*ck but good at cruising.
Nice thing about the Skoda as well is the interior is virtually identical to the equivalent Audi, its better spec'd for the equivalent price of an Audi and you don't get tarred with the Audi wanker brush!

I was looking at Skoda Octavias and they seem fairly nice. Are they really that rattly and noisy though?
I don't necessarily mind it being a bit boring as I am literally after something to slog up and down the motorway.

No if I'm honest I'm being picky. They are substantially quieter than a 306 on the motorway. I think the only reason why i think its noisy is because i went from that to the Kia which i have to say, is stupidly quiet at motorway speeds considering its a cheap car!
