Bad experience with Skoda Laura

Exterior: Tail lights are not the best in class. Bumper seems to be good but is not that very strong compared to other part of the body. I have black colour which after sometime feels like we have scratches all over the car even after taking good care.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors are v.good. Seats very comfortable and you feel like getting into the sofa sets. Good for long distance travel.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Sturdy powerful engine, Very good performance on highways, very smooth, noiseless and effortless driving. But in city its a pain to drive it esp in peak Mumbai traffic. Not good pickup of Automatic version on 1st and 2nd gears. Fuel economy in city is b/w 10-12 km/l, but on highways go upto 18 km/l. Gears are smooth in Automatic version and triptronic too.

Ride Quality & Handling

 

Final Words

 

Areas of improvement  

A/c not the best. It starts after 2-5 mts of run of the car.

Windows does not automatically stop going up if child's hand is there on the glass.

In automatic version, the left legs rest is not very comfortable. The knee touches the dashbord is very unconfortable. 

Side Mirror adjustment is very painful. It does not gets adjusted quickly and needs lots of effort to put in correct position.

Water spray during front glass cleaning is not uniform and does not come upto top. So if car has lot of dust, there is a chance of getting scratches on the glass.

 

Fuel Economy, Features like rain sensors, lumbar support, interiors and seat comfort. Power is good.A/c is giving issues. Auto windows closure does not work properly after sometime.
