    Unfortunately, the Octavia is still rated at 4 stars on thew Encap site with the it being listed as a 2004 model only.

    I don't think so, it was at the time when I was checking cars for their safety ratings when my daughters started to drive. I always check more than just the stars when it comes to car safety, many cars have 5 stars rating and there is a lot of difference in them when you read the additional report.

    I was referring to a swedish car company that has never made planes to the best of my knowledge.
