    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

    Exterior A typical SKODA plush looks, though many are upset on its elderly brother look of a Fabia. Looks a no nonsense car from design prospect, very refined and elegant cuts. A very eye catchy sedan.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Again simple in looks, but plush with loads of features to use. Precisely a look drive luxury car for those who believe and love CLASS!! The rear AC could have been bit more effective. Multi features to use and enjoy.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Typical SKODA engine, the hotter - the better performance. Very miser in consuming fuel(diesel) and heartful in giving mileage. Engine response too good at higher speed. Amazingly the 5th gear can be used at a speed of 40 also. With 240 torque. High level of confidence. Gear shifting not the very best, but still too good.

    Ride Quality & Handling The riding response is very acknowledgable and does not gives you a feel of a diesel car. very refined handling and aptly interacting with its support in kitty.

    Final Words VALUE for money, why waste 11.2lac for a Hyundai 8 months wait time. The KING has arrived, go and fall in love with it (Diesel Elegance) :) 09/10

    Areas of improvement Floor divider in rear, Inclussion of USB, Reverse sensor has to be there in a 11 lac car,Steering mount controls,no mention of version in the rear (i.e Ambition or Elegance etc).

    Looks,Fuel Economy,Engine Noise,Features, Value for moneyUSB Missing,Reverse Sensor,No Steering cover,Too high wall on the floor at the reverse seat
