Elegance 1.6 review at 2200 Kms

 

Exterior I like to looks of Fabia, though it is subjective. I would appreciate if Skoda adds a rear wiper at this cost.  Fuel refilling requires the car key to open the inner lid of the fuel tank.  Most petrol pump attendants face difficulty.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) One of the best in Fab.  Very comfortable for a small family of 4.  good head room and leg room. Rear seats are very good for kids but adults may find it difficult to sit for a long hours.  Enough thoughts for holding bottles, glasses, papers, books, cooled glove box etc.  The music system is very good in quality.  I would appreciate if Skoda gives rear speakers as well.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have made two high way travel of about 400 Kms each.  Both times it gave me the average of about 18 Kms (5.4 l/100 Kms)  In the city travel (Indirapuram to NOIDA and back) it gives me about 8 to 9 Kms. My learning is that if you drive with accelerator control (less break, less clutch) the efficiency is amazing.

Ride Quality & Handling Easy to handle, swift enough for city traffic, light steering, effective breaks.  Shockers are really good.

Final Words A very good car for a small family.

Areas of improvement Engine vibration / Noise after 1000 Kms of running. A rear wiper and rear speaker.
