Skoda Laura 2009 road test : Czech Please


With its 10/10 campaign Skoda has got many eyes focused on its Laura. After launching its premium model the Superb, the Czech-based company has launched its new Laura (which is sold worldwide as the Skoda Octavia). The company rates the car 10 on 10 and now it’s our turn (at CarWale) to give our rating to the Laura.

Although it doesn't pertain to this thread, I'm going to answer that (my apologies in advance, moderators!) We've asked Suzuki repeatedly for their cars, but they're based out of Delhi while we're in Mumbai, so it becomes a logistical issue.

Just wondering why carwale test for Dzire has not been done yet. Innocent  

Would love to see a detailed report on the car.

Given ideal conditions and equal coefficients of drag, the two cars will give identical top speeds.

 

In reality, however, there are a million small things that change that - weight, gearing, road conditions, weather conditions, tyre compounds, condition of the tyres, clutch, engine, quality of fuel... You get the drift, right?

But it's not a Superb! It's a Laura! :P

 

Please direct most of your appreciation Rachit's way: he's the one does most of the slaving away at MS Word now!
