ŠKODA OCTAVIA
SCOUT
Price OTR:
£25,940 (inc metallic paint)
Engine:
2.0 TDI 150PS
Top speed
135 MPH

In terms of efficiency and emissions, the Scout
is a great choice, with a combined fuel figure
of 43.5-80.7mpg, and emissions of just 90147g/km. And yet it still manages to generate
a decent amount of power with its choice of
148bph or 181bph 2-0 litre diesel engines.
The 181bhp version boasts 0-62mph in 7.8
seconds, and the 148bhp version is certainly
no slouch either. And with a top speed of
127mph, the Scout may be big and tough, but
it's certainly not slow!

0-62MPH: 8.4 seconds
Economy/CO2: 125
Fuel consumption:
70.6 combined

Despite the original turned-up noses, Skoda
has fought and won a battle for many hearts
and minds in the UK, due to the quality and
reliability of its cars. The Scout definitely
continues this, and is a great car, at a very
decent price, that will appeal to those of you
who seek adventures, and need a car to get to
them in!
