Skoda’s littlest offering in New Zealand gets a facelift, but is it enough?
What is it? The Kodiaq is the first large SUV from Skoda and, if you don’t count the funky Yeti, the Czech company’s first “real” SUV. Regardless of whether or not you count the Yeti as a “real” SUV, the Kodiaq is most certainly the real deal – roughly the same size as a Hyundai […]
The Skoda Superb has always been car that – to use an over-used cliche – has earned its name. And when you think about it, it really does take some balls to call your car “superb” no matter how old a nameplate it actually is. I mean, you are really not making life easy for […]
The new Skoda Fabia landed in New Zealand a month or so back and instantly impressed us with its looks, quality and eager engines. Now we get to spend a week in the top-of-the-range 81kW DSG car. At $24,990 the top Fabia gets uncomfortably close to the VW Polo (the GTi variant we had justlast week…), […]
On the surface the Skoda Octavia Scout could be just an Octavia wagon with added plastic bits, but in reality it is more than that. But even if it wasn’t, the Octavia is one of our favourite cars here at OVERSTEER (see here, here and here for proof of that…), so that would still make […]

The Octavia RS has always been a brilliant steer and we had no doubt this one would continue that tradition, especially when we found out it would have the same engine as the […]
Wagons are cool. Even the lamest car is cooler as a wagon. So a brilliant car like the Skoda Octavia gets even more brilliant as a wagon. Don’t ask me how, it’s just the law or something… Outside Likes: New corporate nose far more modern and sleek. Compact wagon proportions are spot on. Actually looks […]
We here at OVERSTEER have always been quite fond of all things Skoda-ish. The Superb is just that, the Fabia is a wonderfully unpretentious supermini, the Roomster was just brilliantly quirky, the Yeti just plain cool and anything with a RS badge on it was just awesome. And the previous Octavia was just one of […]
Kiwi Hayden Paddon and his equally-Kiwi co-driver John Kennard came back from their poor start to Rally Oz to utterly dominate the WRC2 class of the final day of Rally Australia to win all six stages in the category. And even show a few of the WRC boys how it is done. Their outright speed […]
