Had a couple of Octavia vRS estates as company cars and they were pretty good, not of the same build quality as my D2, but certainly not that much worse than my RS6, which again falls some way short in quaility of materials etc compared to the D2. The D2 seems to be the last Audi where a lot of the decisions on how they were designed and built were by engineers and not accountants.
Oh and as a Scot I was very proud when Top Gear described Skodas as "Volkswagens for cheapskates"
