However, there are other seats available and the rest of the cabin is smooth and intuitive while the gearknob displays another subtle 4&#215;4 badge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the Road?\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0On the road is where this Octavia really shines \u2013 the 2L engine has plenty of power and it really is glued to the road \u2013 even on bends it\u2019s extremely steady and feels like a much sportier car while on motorways it\u2019s very comfortable. \u00a0Using the Haldex system, like its predecessors, the 4 wheel drive only kicks in when it\u2019s really needed to save on fuel consumption. On paper it has a top speed of 215kmph and will get you from 0-100kmph in 8.6 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And Safety?\u00a0<\/strong>7 airbags come as standard in this model along with Electronic Stability Control. The Skoda Octavia has a 5 star Euro Ncap rating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Options?\u00a0<\/strong>There are 3 trim levels available \u2013 Ambition, Elegance and the range topping L&amp;K. There are also 3 different diesel engines starting with a 1.6TDi with 105bhp, the 2.0TDi tested with 150bhp and a 184bhp DSG version across all trim levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will it break the bank?<\/strong>\u00a0The Skoda Octavia 4&#215;4 starts from \u20ac27,995 and the model tested will set you back \u20ac31,445 with fuel consumption at just 4.7l\/100km (60mpg).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict?\u00a0<\/strong> The denim blue paintwork and beige interior may make you feel like you\u2019re sitting into a dull car but don\u2019t be fooled by looks \u2013 this really is a versatile sleeper that feels comfortable on long journeys, has the right suspension set-up and power delivery for some fun and won\u2019t leave you stranded in a muddy field.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why you\u2019ll buy one?<\/strong>\u00a0 Handling, Economy, 4 wheel drive<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why you won\u2019t?<\/strong>\u00a0That beige interior<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rivals<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/mazda-cx-5-platinum-2-2d-150ps-6mt-2wd\/\">Mazda CX-5 <\/a><\/strong>&#8211; priced from \u20ac27,995<strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/seat-leon-x-perience-2-0tdi-184hp-4wd-dsg\/\">Seat Leon X-perience<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; priced from \u20ac32,495<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2015 Skoda Octavia 4&#215;4 Elegance <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Engine:\u00a0<\/strong>1968cc\u00a0with 150bhp<br \/>\n<strong>Max speed:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0215km\/h<strong><br \/>\n0-100 kph:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>8.6 seconds<strong><br \/>\nEmissions (Motor Tax) :<\/strong>\u00a0 122g\/km (\u20ac270)<br \/>\n<strong>Model price range:<\/strong>\u00a0\u20ac27,995 \u00a0\u00a0\u2013 \u20ac35,225 (Test Car \u2013 \u20ac31,445)<br \/>\n<strong>No of Doors:<\/strong>\u00a05 doors<br \/>\n<strong>Euro NCAP :<\/strong>\u00a05 stars<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel type:<\/strong>\u00a0 Diesel<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel Economy (combined cycle):\u00a0<\/strong> 4.7l\/100km (70 mpg)<br \/>\n<strong>Boot Capacity Seats up :<\/strong>\u00a0585 litres<br \/>\n<strong>Car Seats:<\/strong>\u00a02 Isofix fittings in the rear<br \/>\n<strong>Length<\/strong>: 4569mm<br \/>\n<strong>Width:<\/strong>\u00a01769mm<br \/>\n<strong>Height:<\/strong>\u00a01462mm<br \/>\n<strong>Wheelbase:<\/strong>\u00a02578 mm<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.skoda.ie\/\">Skoda.ie<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0the Skoda\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SkodaIreland\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page or follow them on twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkodaIRL\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suzanne Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>25th Novemeber, \u00a02015<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the proud owner of an original 4&#215;4 Octy Suzanne Keane couldn\u2019t wait to get behind the wheel of the new Octavia 4&#215;4.
