The Octavia is the family car that also happens to be rather stylish and a whole lot of fun.

The ultimate combination of European style and modern engineering, the ŠkodaOctavia was ranked ‘Best Car of the Year’ in the 2007 and 2008 Auto Express Driver Power guide, and 'Best Small Family Car' in 2005 and 2006 by UK magazine, What Car? Available in a choice of two Turbo-Diesel (TDI) and three petrol engines, including the powerful turbo-charged 2.0 litre in an RS model, it performs as well on the bends as it does in the value-for-money stakes.

So if you're thinking safe, secure and stylish, and a little bit sporty, you're thinking Octavia.
