    My Review of the New Skoda Octavia

    I am not a trained journalist, but I recently reviewed the New SKODA Octavia, after being invited to drive it by SKODA Australia. read my full review at Our week with another Woman | The New SKODA Octavia. All Photography by my wife Anna, of Ferrettography. Ferrettography


    I know it won't win a Pulitzer. But it was fun, and so was the car. Just make sure you practice the auto park a few times in private first

    Nice work - no, it won't win the Pulitzer but you're doing better than a lot of our paid, professional 'motoring' media.

    Glad the car was up to spec as well, I have Czech line-age and will have to own one, one day.

    Aye the auto park feature haha!

    Is there any footage uploaded from the gopro's for the drive?
    The writing is great, much better than the regular journo at drive etc who gets lumped with the car stories for that week.

    Thanks Clay 😊 The video. Yes. We shot excellent video. Each time we ran the camera we checked it was running and left it going. Had a great two days. Took the card out and found a series of ten second videos. The camera had been turning itself off after ten seconds every time. No idea why. As video operators we made great reviewers. That was the Go Pro 3 Skoda sent us. Should have used my HD Hero 2 at least I knew it worked. Very annoyed.

    Very good review but I found the white text on the black background hard to read.
