Best Skoda Wagons

with equipment and tech, with plenty of space and a huge practical boot. My previous car was a VW Arteon, a very similar car on the same platform, surprisingly the Skoda is more comfortable than the VW.

I have used the car for work doing sales calls etc. as well as commuting and personal use around Melbourne and regular trips to Bendigo, also several road trips to Adelaide, Brisbane and Northern NSW, after driving 1100 KM in a day I still felt fine no aches at all. Now retired and living in Bendigo we still do weekly trips to Melbourne and road trips so it is well used.

I have the car serviced at Deer Park Skoda, where I purchased it, they have been a pleasure to deal with, a very helpful team. I bought it with a 4 year service pack and have just bought a new 4 year service pack, this gives some peace of mind, as does the 7 year warranty and the included roadside assist. I have had no warranty claims, just routine maintenance, I have only had to pay for the usual, brakes, wiper blades and tyres.

If you are looking for a car and like me don't want an SUV, the Skoda might be the car for you, I would definitely recommend Skoda

Could have updated it years ago but as I say it has never let me down so why bother, it still drives like new and I would have no hesitation in driving it across the country tomorrow if need be.
