VW Passat or Skoda Octavia Estate?
Discussion
As per the title, I am looking at a reliable load lugging estate, to cover about 10k miles per annum. I have a budget of about £8k and no real preference to diesel or petrol. The Skoda Octavia and VW Passat seem like obvious choices, so any feedback on them would be great but also any alternatives I may have missed?
Does it need to be Euro 4 or more?
I'd get a low mileage 1.9 TDI Octavia estate with that kind of budget.
Don't go for 2.0PD or early 1.6/2/0 CR engines - later ones ok.
Lot of car for the money with an Octavia, a Passat feels more "budget" even.
Octavia MK3 doesn't seem as good as the MK2, but all depends what engine you want.
p.s. I've driven Passat's and have owned MK2 Octavia for 4 years. I spend very little on maintenance, all of which is preventative.
