Skoda Laura User Reviews

 

I test drove this amazing car..its a car for those who love to drive and become one with the car, pick up is like a jet plane is about to take off, power dilvery is so so smooth that you dont even realize it. Just keep on pressing the pedal and power will keep coming, wont just stop...and then brake without holding the steering. It will stop in a blink of an eye without even veering an inch from its path. TSI engine is a gem. I have driven Honda Civic for quite some time but its nowhere close to Laura 1.8 TSI. features, comfort, leg room, turning radius, it glides over potholes. ground clearance is better (though didnt test it loaded with 5 adults). Everything fits in place to make it a near perfect car for enthusiats and passengers alike..its a car that can protect you and family in accidents (God forbid) because of its build quality. I am waiting for Laura RS, gonna buy it. If you love to drive, look no further, it will be a crime. My frds own Octavia and keep cribbing about the high spares cost..but i am mentally prepared for it. I dont wanna buy a civic or something and miss out on the pleasure of driving a Laura.

 

Performance, comfort, build quality, featuresexpensive spares

 

Exterior Great European styling. Always felt Skoda styling was better than comparable VW models.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Elegant. Great sound system. The off white carpets/seats made of fabric/needlepunch material are dofficult to keep clean. Wish they had offered leather seats and darker coloured carpets. Front seats are comfortable. Back seats are OK.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the USP of this car. Great torque. The turbo charger kicks in smoothly and swiftly - not much lag or jerk. Great fuel economy.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is great. It is really a fun to drive along highways. Suspension can take potholes fairly well. Even after 20 months and almost 25,000 Kms, no rattles or rough rides.

 

Final Words Great car. Best Diesel option between Rs 10-20 lakhs. And if you are not stuck up with branding, I think it gives a run for the money to the entry level Mercs and BMWs.

 

Areas of improvement Service.

 

1) good "torquey" engine 2) fuel economy 3) Elegant styling!) service 2) service 3) service

The car has a poise and image. Most drivers will find a good seating position. The feedback through the seat, stearing and pedals is excellent. Performance is top notch. Handling, though not in the BMW class, is pretty decent and involving. The DSG gear box is a dream. Have been using it for about eight months and 10000 Kms and the honemoon is yet to get over...I do wish Skoda had given GPS and blue tooth handsfree in the central console system, especially as the car is being sold elsewhere with these features.Build quality, performance and handling, driver involvement, DSG Gear box, fuel economyNo GPS, Blue tooth

 

Exterior HEAD TURNER AFTER AGES AS WELL.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) EXCELLENT, but crampy at the rear.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox LIVELY ENGINE WHICH NEVER GIVES UP, MODERATE MILEAGE, GRT GB.

Ride Quality & Handling EXCELLENT, BUT BRAKING IS POOR.

Final Words IF U R REALLY WORRIED ABT SERVICE THEN BETTER FIND ANOTHER CAR. ALBIET U HARDLY NEED THE CAR TO BE TAKEN TO THE SERVICE STATION. ABSOLUTELY NO SERVICE IN TWO TIER CITIES AS WELL.

MAKE AND MADE OF THE CAR IS EXCELLENT, NO ONE TO BEAT THIS HEAVY CAR. EXCELLENT INTERIOR QUALITY. MATERIALS USED ARE OF BEST STANDARDS. CITY DRIVE IS EXCELLENT AS TURNING RADIUS IS AWESOME CONSIDERING THE SIZE OF THE CAR.

THIS CAR REVS AS YOU ASK FOR IT WITH ITS TOP OF CLASS TORQUE. BIT NOISY ENGINE BUT U WONT FEEL IT INSIDE. ONLY NOTICEABLE WHILE STAND STILL. RATHER CALL IT VALUE FOR MONEY CAR. HOPEFULLY YOU WONT STOP IN THE MIDWAY OF UR DRIVE, TOE VAN WILL MAKE LOOT OUT OF IT.

 very elegant and sporty

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 no usb support, the seating at the back is a little uncomfortable at the back specially for someone who is sitting in the middle

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 14 km/l in city.. the gear shift is placed conveniently and very smooth. engine noise is very less in diesel too

Ride Quality & Handling

 ride quality is fantastic and would recommend  a automatic transmission. doesnt let u down in any driving conditions.

Final Words

 a good value for money. just pray nothing goes wrong with the car otherwise you wont see it for 1 to 20 days. 

Areas of improvement  

 the service stations of skoda are pathetic. for warranty related issues they take anything from 15 days to a month. The A.C. gives alot of problems in summers and workshops attitude is pathetic especially at jai auto mathura road, they usually dont listen and dont do the complete work to satisfaction.  the warranty given by skoda is bogus. the number of service stations should be increased. 

 

nice rich feel, effortless drivinga.c is not made for indian summers, pretty cramped at the back... poor after sales service

My cousin have purchased skoda laura elegance TDI Automatic and I've got a chance to go for a long drive on it. Amused to say the driving pleasure laura given was absolutely mesmerising also the DSG gearbox was felt awesome in city as well as highway drive. The traveling comfort was also outstanding in laura. Also the features laura offered was superb cool. One of the best sedan which I've ever driven yet is laura compared with audi A3 as well as vw jetta.

Exterior Front looks are classic and elegant, Outdated Rear Looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not much features to talk about a car costs more than 17lakhs. No USB,LEATHER SEATS,EVEN STEERING CONTROLS,Bluetooth,climate control..Interior is so basic that we feel shy at times getting lower segment cars. Very spacious interior and excellent leg room.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Had covered 4000kms in 45days,engine Performance is excellent as of now, getting an avg city-highway fuel economy of 12.5kmpl. Automatic gearbox is superb,best in the class to be said.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling on highways are pretty good,but in citys and rural areas feels a little uncomfortable cos of the stiff and heavy steering and not so soft suspension.

Final Words Excellent M/C with too basic features and poor service/dealer back up.

Areas of improvement Skoda is famous for their negative/bad service/dealer support history and that didnt changed till now, as I started feeling the pinch from this early days. Interior features have to improve to a very long extend.

Excellent AT Gear Box,Good avg fuel economy,Spacious.Features Lacks less than an i10 (17lakhs vs 5lakhs),stiff n heavy steering

Exterior High std aero dynamic with good look which can be improved. New Laura comes with sporty alloy wheel increased the look many fold.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) New laura in lowest model giving 7" touch screen and 6 CD changer with Bluetooth and steering MFD and audio control. Spacewise very comfortable and ideally suited with total size of body makes flexible use in daily life.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is study and outstanding. Fuel economy is great but one require control his own right pedal for aotu ver as rocket feel while pressing accelrator pedal is great drinks fuel also. Otherwise one can easily takes 17KPL.

Ride Quality & Handling Drinks all potholes and gives comfort Indian roads condition require to come up for talking full joy of ride as except NH other roads are not that good. For handling no comments.

Final Words In this range with careful selection of version it is a perfect deal.

Areas of improvement  Exterior look specially rear.

Great performance and comfort with style2.0 TDi engine bit noisy but inside cabin good

I just purchased a luara L&k 2.0 face lift version I also chek and test drive of many car like BMW 3 serics Audi A4 Vax vegan XETA  and many more but in last I have finalized for laura l and k because its same as Audi A4 all future are same and price diffrence is approxi 9 to 10 lakh engine is totaly same so I think  laura is value for money and good brand value also

I have driven 2000 km but I like a pickup and raod grip of this car its just superb and make your drive a thirll its auto gearbox is very nice and smooth if your think for l and k go blindly and you will enjoy your driving pleasure but I cant forgot write hear for very bad experice from delear so please when you purchse the car please choose good delear.

Final Words Its like a  ROCKET.
