    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Clean and attractive exterior, small and compact grills makes an executive looks, Stupid idea for opeing bonnet as its lever in between the driver side door, you cannot open bonnet with out opning that door, very stupid design of driver side viper, you cannot raise it as it is touching the bonnet cover while washing the car. Very poor head lights and fog lamps, cannot go long drives in that lights.

    Fair interiors and plastics, a very big dash board and lots of space infront of gear lever to keep small things, but ditto same vento. The seats are dust magnet and very poor back support, especially front co passenger seat is extremely uncomfrotable and looking for to change the seat. The steering tilt lever is placed with out the use of common sense, if you are 6foot or above it will be always touching your knees (It may cause for a serious injury to knees if met with an accident). Tilt and telescopic steering and seat height adujustments makes driving very comfortable.Electrically and remote adjustment of rear view mirror is good but electric folding is missing compare to verna fluidic.

    A powerfull and reliable engine, but little more noisy than the other compitents in this segment, a tubo lag untill the engine reach 1200 RPM. Good mileage, poor braking for a car with 105 bhp power as it doest have a rear disc break gear shifting is smoot.

    Very responsive steering, good control in a speed less than 80 kms, breaks are not sufficeint for  such a powerful vehicle. 

    The vehicle is seems like engineered in a hurry burry to meet the market competency, cannot compare with the other Skoda vehicles, very poor sales and service, especially by St. Antonys motors Cochin, Their irresponsiblity and cheating starts soon after your booking amount has received, they will ask for an another minimum 25K in the name of price hike even after u have done all payments. The areas of improvements required are; Breaking, head lights, seats, steering tilt lever, sales and service support.
