Usually pay the excess that is written on the test drive indemnity form. In my years I only encountered once, a slight bump to the rear bumper. Haha..

If i remember correctly excess can be up to $2k. Some AD even have excess of $5k

Hi everyone, I'm seriously thinking of getting the Octavia. Going to test drive tomorrow.

I keep reading about this deep "boom" suspension sound in reviews, especially on uneven roads.

Any bros driving the Octavia here? Does this issue affect our SG versions, and is it as bad on our roads?

E.g. review here:

Spoiler

There’s also more suspension noise (noticeable inside as a deep, resonant boom in the background over town roads) than in most cars in the class – this is one of the Octavia’s most annoying traits. There’s some wind noise on the motorway, too, but road noise is reasonably well suppressed.

Briskoda thread here:

Spoiler

There is a very low frequency boom/reverberation which is triggered by the slightest bump or uneven surface on the road even at very low speeds. It is such a low note that it feels like rapid fluctuations of pressure on my ears. It gets loud when I am on an uneven road surface and makes me feel rather queasy.

and hence without DCC is a tad "hardcore" for day to day unless you stick to 17" rims

Just test drove and placed deposit😅

The boom sound is there when I drove over small bumps on the road. Is it noticable? Yes. Can live with it? Can. But because it is quite low frequency, it's something that probably won't go away even if you turn up the music. But the rest of the car really quite impressive.
