Hi. My partner and I are looking for a new vehicle we are trying to decide between a station wagon and an SUV. We are quite keen on a 2009 Skoda Octavia 2L TDI 4x4 wagon and or a Hyundai IX35. Both meet all our criteria. But just concerned about the ongoing maintenance of the Skoda? Thoughts?

Hi there,
I've been told the diesel Skoda Octavia is quite a reliable vehicle, however like any European vehicle you could see some extra maintenance costs as it ages.
