Skoda Octavia

7.6/10
From
$28,990

The Skoda Octavia RS wagon might be the go‑to car for families who want a sporty, stylish model with practicality as its middle name, but how did the new‑gen sports wagon deal with family life for Matt Campbell? He lived with it for six months ‑ through the birth of his first child, a 100‑plus‑day lockdown, and through a few annoying car tech glitches. He's what he thought.


02.
Skoda Fabia
From
$36,990
7.8/10
From
$36,990

The Skoda Fabia might be a much pricier proposition than it used to be, but does the feature‑packed runabout offer more bang‑for‑your‑buck than premium light cars?


03.
Volkswagen Golf
From
$35,190
8/10
From
$35,190

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is still one of the benchmark hatchbacks out there. But it's getting very pricey.
