THE CAR EXPERTCar finance and buying advice

Skoda builds some great affordable cars and the Kamiq is no exception, but steer clear of the diesel auto and stick with a petrol engine.

This facelift may only bring marginal changes to the Skoda Superb, but with a fresher look and additional kit, it's helped to strengthen it further.

The Skoda Scala is everything you'd expect. It’s good to look at, hugely practical and comfortable, yet the brand’s core principle of value remains.

The Skoda Kodiaq vRS is not the last word in driver thrills, but there’s a lot to recommend this car as a bahnstorming family bus.

The Skoda Fabia remains a competitive supermini following a minor facelift focusing on slighlty changed looks and some extra equipment.

Skoda has made a very good job of its first ‘proper’ SUV, the Kodiaq fulfilling the brief in all the important areas.

More than ever, the Skoda Superb will provide large executive car buyers with all they will require – whether they are stepping out of a Volkswagen Passat or a BMW 5 Series.

If you're simply looking for a comfortable, practical family car that offers good value for money, the Skoda Karoq should probably be at the top of your shopping list.
