I have the Skoda Octavia 1.9 for the last 4 years.I love the car but hate some things in it.


PROS


01)The Car has amazing fuel economy,gives 15 to 18 in the city & 20 to even 25 on the highway if you drive properly.


02)Is a solid vehicle handles well on speed.


03)Great looks resembles a BMW.


04)Performance & pickup is excellent


CONS


01)God help you if you have even a minor accident with this car,no no the car is very safe but the repair bill will make you wish that you should have died !!


02)The Spares are are not costly they are EXHORBITANT. One side view mirror 8000/ Suspension repair 32,000/- Rear Windscreen 9000/- Front Headlight 10,000/-


03)I had a minor accident the front right fender was changed,The part of bonnet dented painted,1 headlight changed & front bumper repaired.The bill 51,000/-


04)The rear seat is cramped,not ergonomical at all,instead take consolation in the fact that the boot is like a footbal field enormous!! Whoever has heard of the philosphy of making the boot bigger than the interiors (Well almost!!)


05) The Car drives very well great pickup but the brakes leaves a lot to be desired. Even low end cars like Honda City & Ford Ikon have better brakes!!


Summary: The Car is Good but has its disadvantages however difficult to find another comparable alternative in this class!!
