Hai all.. I ve purchased a magnum LS after taking a very long study and research... Actually im not in a position to write a good revieew at this time as i ve only covered around 6k kms.. But there are facts worth notting..

I feel this s d best buy in this segmant.. Its power is so amazing.. U reach 120 kmph within 150metres of drive from rest.. Just press the accelerator... u are thrown back to the seats by the enormous power... The handling is very nice... Suspensions are very very smooth and u can ve a real good ride..

Another important factor is the space interiors... The space is uncomparable.. Even after adjusting the front seats for maxmm comfort, you ve ample legspace in the rear seats.. You will find octavia very much compramising in this aspect.. The drive also... octavia gives a smooth solemn ride while magnum gives the shear pleasure of driving.. the power packed feeling which the skoda lacks.. Also considering the maintanance costs... magnum is much afordable... Just for a comparison.. the osrvm of skoda costs around 7000 rs while magnum gives it for just 2600rs. THere lies the main advantage.. These are all my abservations only..

Also the chevy promise is free for magnum... which means you are completely free of maintanance for 3 yrs or 45000kms.. That means company does any maintanance during this time including oil change.. labour charge.. other spaer parts if needed.. So you need not worry about the maintanance atleast for the time being... I see it as a real blessing... All that is needed id just take your car to the service centre in time...

This s why i opted magnum above skoda... Another choice in my mind was corolla altis... Its a petrol car... With a mileage of 10kmpl.. I ve to vapourise rs.5 per km minimum... So dont even think of that.. Honda civic also tails the same problem... Magnum gives a gud mileage and exciting pulling on diesel... So this must be the choice.. the rite choice..

And a word on the interiors... its really classy.. The interiors are royally designed.. Another important thing is its ground clearance... Its adequate for a safe drive...

But the overall build of the car is better in skoda i think... Magnum gives much rattling on playing loud music... and the gears are a bit hard.

In short.. this is the best buy in this range..
Only thing is the chevy tag...
GM has a vry poor marketting strategy with foolish ads and repulsive executives...
