Skoda Octavia review - CarBuyer

Full Review at: www.carbuyer.co.uk Value for money is at the core of the Octavia's appeal, but just because it's comparatively cheap, that doesn't mean it lacks desirability elsewhere. It's also a well built car with a spacious interior and boot. An update in 2009 resulted in a redesigned front, an improved interior and the addition of new engines. The diesels are the best sellers, with the Greenline version being the most economical of the lot. The sportier vRS version is available with a choice of powerful petrol or diesel engines.

Vauxhall Astra review - CarBuyer

Full review: www.carbuyer.co.uk We are big fans of the Vauxhall Astra - which has has been around in its various forms since 1979. This model arrived in 2009 and it immediately impressed with a cabin capable of rivaling Volkswagen's class-leading Golf for fit and finish. With secure handling and decent refinement, the driving experience comes close to rivaling that of the Ford Focus. A wide range of engine and trim levels are available, and entry level cars can be bought for relatively cheaply. You'll need to spend a few thousand pounds more than that if you want any luxury. We would recommend the 1.4-litre petrol turbo. The ecoFLEX versions will keep your costs down if you're a business user, thanks to low fuel consumption and tax-friendly emissions.
