Škoda's previous-generation Superb and Octavia were second and third respectively in the model rankings, outdone only by the premium Jaguar XF.

More than 20,000 readers rated their own cars on reliability, build quality, and running costs and rated Škoda right at the top of them all.

Škoda UK Brand Director, Robert Hazelwood, is delighted, but not surprised by this latest success. "It's really no surprise that, yet again, our owners are proclaiming that Škoda really is the manufacturer of happy drivers. This bears out what is at the heart of our business - our customers. We put them first in everything we do, from the design and quality of the cars themselves, which ensures they are easy and rewarding to live with, through to our retailers who take pride in the service they provide throughout the ownership of the car. We're proud of this award and pleased that our owners are satisfied with their Skodas."

Škoda manufacture a range of five models: the supermini Fabia, the family carrier Roomster, mid-size Octavia and the luxurious upper-medium Superb, to be joined in September by the new Yeti crossover.
