2021 ஸ்கோடா குஷாக்

1.0 L, TC, AT, Anniversary model: has the most contemporary features. But lacks the basics for a 20 lakh car. AC is pathetic. Maruti ALTO gives a better AC. The seats are not comfy. But started back pain after a long drive. 0 to 10km pickup is pathetic. Mileage is not great for a 1.0 lakh car (gives 13 for 80% long drive and +20 % city drive). Makes irritating noise when Turbo kicks in / kicks out. NVH for this car is not good. Plus: Build quality, 6 airbags, 5-star NCAP rating. Ground Clearance. Verdict: Will not recommend it to my dear one.

The buying experience was of expected Skoda standards and professionalism. However, the car has a manufacturing defect of brake noise & low AC cooling. Service centres are not fixing it after multiple requests. The car is very safe and steady to drive with an excellent engine, though the mileage is on the lower side. I would not recommend buying this unless they make sure the manufacturing defect of AC Cooling, Brake Noise is taken care of. Otherwise, it is a Skoda car and hence one of the safest you will find in Indian markets and one of the best driving & engine experience. Would rate it 3 out of 5 overall, would have been a 4 without the above-mentioned issues.
