Skoda Octavia Estate - what's the best engine?

I am looking to buy a new Skoda Octavia Estate. I do very low mileage - small local town trips – and need an estate car to transport my dogs. Will a 1.2 TSI 105PS be powerful enough?

Yes, the 1.2TSI is fine. It's the most popular engine choice in the Yeti. Given the use you describe, definitely don't go for the diesel.
