After 3hr journey from mumbai-Pune i was not in a mood to look at it went straight asleep. I woke up in the morning and just came yawning out from my room to balcony and Dam i see her getting washed by my cousin and there i fall in love with her.

Their was empty road with quite good corners.I was ready to test this machine my uncle gave me a stare and said "put all of your skill let me see what are you up to". Damm i press the accelerator pedal a bit and i felt like i was on a roller coaster launched form its Pad. my leg went towards the left to find the clutch and my dumbness i forgot it was an AT. The moment i fit the corner i could Literally feel the ECS (Electronic Stability Control) working on brakes to help we maintain the lane and avoid me drifting the car out of control, breaking was Fabulous. I noticed the a 2 small leaver on the steering wheel as asked what was it uncle said Pedal shiftier skoda call them gear shift control on steering wheel, i resembled them to one in Ferrari(My bad) but i felt them Awesome as i tested them for Top speed run ohh wait i dint tell you that before finishing the ride i took her to Spine road it was was long stretch(7-8 km) road minimal or No traffic- i spot on managed to hit the indicated speed of 180 Km/hr i could have got more of it but i did not.

Thank you for reading it till the end. Tc Drive safe Always with your seat beats on cause its a jungle out there. Good bye :)

I bought my Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI automatic transmission (petrol), Black, this April. So far I must say the journey has been excellent. The vehicle is the fastest in its class and you can really feel the 180PS power when you floor the vehicle. The engine is absolutely smooth coupled with the Tiptronic 7 speed DSG gearbox upshift and downshift is a very pleasant experience. The vehicle is fully loaded with all the luxury features you can ask for from and excellent infotainment system to a complete car monitoring system on the speedometer heads up display. The wipers are automatic rain sensing ones and one of my favourite features is the bi-xenon headlights with dynamic levelling boarded with the AFS (Adaptive Frontlight System) the Light Assistant (Automatic headlight system with light sensor makes) which makes night time driving a pleasure. Steering mounted controls are smooth and the Bluetooth connectivity with any phone and car play with Apple is excellent. The braking system consists of a ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) and HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assistant) which can come in handy in sudden braking at high speeds as I can tell you from a personal experience where I had to come down from 140 Kmph to a near halt and the car handled it perfectly. The sports mode is really a lot of fun, as soon as you put the DSG in sports and use the manual steering mounted gears it gets the adrenalin running. Stuff like parking sensors integrated with the infotainment system and rear parking sensors make parking really easy even for ladies. Sunroof and the climatic AC are excellent. Very chic alloys, automatic folding side mirrors and tonnes of boot space add to the value for money. Too many good things to write so what I would suggest is take a visit to the nearest Skoda showroom and ask for a quick look, I am sure you won't be disappointed.   The only down side for the car is that in the city the vehicle gives about 7.6 to 8 KM/L and on the highway it gives about 12 to 12.5 KM/L which is not all that great for an automatic.In conclusion I can say that this vehicle is an excellent buy if you are willing to overlook fuel economy for comfort and features.  

The new Skoda Octavia is probably one of the best cars available in the Indian market as of now. I owned the Ambition 2.0 MT model, which had everything else besides the DSG gearbox, panoramic Sunroof and the projector headlamps. I was content with my car, no complaint whatsoever. The mileage is pretty good for a car this huge, it offers anything between 12-17 kmpl in city and on the highway it gives 18-22 kmpl, depending on the person at the driving wheel. The only thing I missed in my Octavia was the DSG gearbox, but it is available in the higher model.

Look and Style: Good just got better ! Maintains the executive looks but is aggressive enough to be called as a modern looking car Comfort: Ride is good but a bit stiff Pickup: 2.0 TDI rarely runs out of power and doesn't let you down Mileage: it's not as good as it's predecessor but delivers the right mileage , where I get minimum of 16km in the city Best Features:Looks, mileage & reliability Needs to improve: Service facility is pathetic  Overall Experience: Octavia lives up to its legendary name
