Skoda is a manufacturer from the Czech republic, and is part of the Volkswagen group which also owns Audi, Seat and of course VW. Skoda originally produced very low cost (but also low quality) cars, but with the Volkswagen takeover, it now uses chassis and engines from the parent group, whilst still selling as a value proposition, so the equivalent Skoda is several thousand pounds cheaper than its VW counterpart.
Skoda Fabia
The Skoda Fabia is a 5 dr supermini sized hatchback based on the same underpinnings as the VW Polo and Seat Ibiza models, and uses a similar range of engines, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines and 1.4 and 1.9 litre diesel engines. It costs from £8625 on the road in the UK.
Skoda Octavia
The Skoda Octavia is a 4 door saloon based on the VW Golf platform, so is very similar to the Jetta in size. It also shares most of the Golf and Jettas engines, with 1.4, 1.8 and 2.0 litre petrol engines and 1.9 and 2.0 litre turbodiesel power plants. The Octavia is much cheaper than the equivalent Golf and because of this, it is one of the most popular choices for taxi and minicab drivers, with the combination of low price, cheap running costs and efficiency from the diesel engines making it a winner.
Skoda Superb
The Skoda Superb is the top of the range Skoda model, and has similar underpinnings to the VW Passat, and again shares most of its engines, with the 2.0 litre diesel being easily the most popular. The Suberb is physically bigger than the Passat and is on a par with rivals such as the Mercedes E-Class for interior space, having plenty of room in the back for use as an executive car.
Skoda Roomster
The Skoda Roomster is one of the increasingly popular car / van crossover vehicles which gives a raised roof line and van like rear doors to allow a huge degree of practicality for use transporting people as an MPV or transporting objects with seats folded / removed. Being a Skoda, it's cheap too, with prices starting from £11,535 on the road in the UK.
