    If you've followed the Indian automotive market, you know how scarce proper performance cars are here, and this is totally one of them! The 1.8 turbo producing 150 bhp and 210 N•m as output is like none other. It can be further tuned to ~200 bhp and 250 N•m with ECU remaps. The handling is of a proper fun drivers' car! Not even the Laura RS released later can match Octavia RS' handling with the sports tuned stiff suspension. The comfort levels are decent at best as it is more of a city car than a luxury one. In the used car market, you can easily manage one in between ?1,50,000-?5,50,000 and there's no other alternative in the Indian car market that matches this!
