Posted by Fiona Birkwood
Auto Express has labelled the Skoda Octavia, which has Xenon car bulbs, as Best Family Car.
Over 23,000 drivers completed the motoring magazines Driver Power survey and they did not just award the Octavia a title, as Skoda as a brand was named Best Manufacturer.
For the past six years, Skoda has been ranked within the top two manufacturers, but this year it won the top spot, beating the Lexus and Jaguar, which came in at second and third positions respectively.
"As if knocking Lexus off top spot last year wasnt enough of an achievement, Skoda has retained the gold medal in 2010," the magazine explains.
It adds that Skoda is "now known for quality and reliability, as well as great value".
The Octavias car lights have an Adaptive Frontlight System with Xenon car bulbs that are 2.5 times brighter than standard halogen headlamps.
It also has AFS that changes the shape of the headlight beams depending on driving speed, the angle of the steering wheel and the weather conditions.
