Skoda Octavia vs Skoda Laura

Far too pricey

The Skoda should have come in way cheaper to about 25 L on road. There is no sedan between 18-30 L apart from the Elantra. Skoda will lose out on sales and I am sure that if she was priced better people would choose it. The previous generation had the 1.5 TSI available. Now even it does not get a diesel option. Honda civic made a mistake by going for a CVT in petrol and manual diesel and we know how the sales of that turned out to be. Skoda needs to consider again their prices or atleast come up with more engine options. If Kia and Nissan come up with their respective sedan models the sedan market is for sure going to pick up provided the prices are reasonable

Own a laura petrol 1.8 tsi for 3 months now

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Exterior&nbsp; </strong>The new laura looks better than its predecessors. From thefront looks like the superb. There should be more colours available in the petrol cersion.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort) </strong>can seat 4 comfortably. Good quality finishes. However, beige carpets are not suitable to our driving conditions. Comfortable at the front and back. The petrol should have more choices in colour and upholstery colour.<strong><br /></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox </strong>Engine is brilliant. Many times you cannot make out if its in or not. Gear box -- like a knife through butter. fuel economy 10 in city and 11.5 on highway.<strong><br /></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling </strong>Havedriven to Goa and mumbai several times. drives very well. No problem in handling so far.<strong><br /></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words </strong>For the price of 14.4 lacs on road. worth it. drives better than the vw jetta which was my other choice.<strong><br /></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong> Need to work on the negative reviews of the company online and offline. dealers need to be better informed. i dealt with europa auto in pune. Still not recd my orignal rto registration and insurance policy after 3 months. more colours in petrol version.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>looks, style, finishing, boot space, pick upautomatic version not available, other interior frills, logos need tobefixed properly
