Expect to pay somewhere in the £17,000 to £30,000 bracket for mainstream versions of this Octavia. Should you want the spacious Estate rather than the five-door model, then there's an £800 model-for-model premium to find.

The UK best seller will be the 115PS 1.6-litre TDI Diesel version, a variant that commands a £1,000 premium over the similarly powerful 1.0-litre TSI Petrol alternative.

These are the two engines you'll find in most UK Octavias. To understand why, you only need to look at the price premiums required in each case to progress to something pokier. If you're a Petrol person, there's a £1,000 jump to go from the 1.0 TSI to the 1.5.

And if you're a Diesel driver, there's a £700 premium to go from the 1.6-litre TDI to the 150PS 2.0-litre alternative. If, having considered all of that, you decide that this is the car you want, then you're going to want a strong standard specification to be part of the deal.

And by and large, you shouldn't be disappointed. The two bodystyles - Hatch and Estate - are mated with six main trim levels - S, SE, SE Technology, SE L, Laurin & Klement and vRS.

Whichever one you choose, your car will come with alloy wheels, tinted glass, climate-controlled air conditioning that also cools the glovebox, a height-adjustable driver's seat, a four-spoke leather-covered steering wheel, a trip computer, an eight-speaker stereo with a DAB digital radio and USB and AUX-in sockets and a hill holder clutch that stops you from drifting backwards on uphill junctions.

The optional KODA Phonebox with wireless charging connects a smartphone to the car antenna by near-field coupling without the need for a cable, thus offering high call quality and best data reception..
