    I have done some research into cars, some Skoda Octavias now have the issue of the infotainment just freezing on you, now thats where you control all climate and stuff imagine getting into the car you set the AC to strong and then that shit freezes and you are stuck with your AC on max freezing you up, well actually you don’t have to imagine that’s exactly what happened, lol

      Of all brends, in Skoda? I thought they are promoted as a reliable budget carmaker. That’s idiotic.

        They are part of VAG so kind of a meh brand imo, it’s only good if you are in a country with lots of Skodas so you have access to cheap parts. I prefer Hyundai/Kia though I know they have a terrible reputation in the USA, they often top reliability in Europe.

          A member in VAG is great and all but if your quality control isn’t effective and you start slipping, pretty soon you’ll really be in the shit.
