Octavia Ambition - Gold Star Value Award for the Medium Car under $45k

24/11/2014

Voted Number 1. Skoda Octavia Ambition 103 TSI
THE benefit of hindsight has allowed Redbook to hone Skoda's three-year retained value ratings from the highs of when the brand returned to Oz, to more believable numbers. Back then, Skodas were a Gold Star sure-thing.

16 October 2014, Wheels Gold Star Value Award


Happily for the Czech brand, the base, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol Octavia remains in the frame for budget-conscious buyers. The mid-sizer’s affordable $21,690 purchase price and decent 60 percent resale still make it among the best cars considered in class in terms of depreciation, while a frugal 5.7L/100km economy rating makes it equally competitive in the fuel-cost discipline.

Importantly, the efficiency doesn’t come at the cost of driver appeal. The boosted Volkswagen Group four is sweet and flexible, though it does insist that the tank is filled with pricier premium 95 RON.

In the Ambition, you miss out on the better-sorted ride and sharper dynamics found up-spec in the IRS-equipped Elegance and RS, but they are priced $10K-15K more. So in terms of the numbers – and the sheer amount of car you get for the money in terms of cabin and cargo space – the entry-level Octavia is a winner.


The price
$21,690
