After Škoda were bought by VW, they started using VW tech for next-gen Škoda
products, i.e. the Fabia, Octavia, etc. They really are good cars, although
their previous reputation as shitboxes is played upon a lot by VW's
marketing campaigns in the UK :)
But saying they've "always" been the cheap European car is a truth that's
been eroded greatly in the past 5-10 years or so.
