    DRIVING:
    i got this lovely beast 2months ago..u all might wonder why i got it durin yr end:)..the fact was i coudlnt resist anymore once  i test drove this beast..:)..when i 1st read the blogs abt the car i was convinced and entered the showroom with the intensions only to book it.the dealer was tempting me with all those astronomic numbers..i took some time and went for a test drive.when i entered d cabin it was calm and appeared pleasing...but its not when u press the throttle..it jus pulled like a demon..i was shocked toc d performance being a diesel engine..dealer was comparing the torque with C-class(definitelyhigher--but close).and challenging the skoda.tho i was not listenin to him much..i was jus impressed with the performance..the real fun i felt was when i drove to bnglr from chennai. initially i was jus goin in a constant speed of 120-130km without any disturbance..surprisingly i saw a vehicle behind me was signalling me to overtake..that was a beauty civic..i felt challengin and then started the feel of real torque...it was a real beast when u challenge it...within few seconds i shifted my gear from 5th to fourt and increased the throttle..it jus touched 170 and further pushed it to 5th gear and more throttle..went to 185..and still askin more by the demon..but i was jus a human to challenge this beast..i found no glance of civic.surpassed it in ease(civic is a petrol..power is more..may not b the driver).tho the fight was amazin between...in higways its always better to b cautious..:)..finally my verdict is its amzin to drive..especially in highways...u jus feel like touchin ur limit..but not the cars..its still more than ur desires...gr8 fun to drive car...well tuned for city conditions...surely better than fiesta and verna..few pennies will change ur style..nothin less than skoda..value and real thrill to drive...
    gr8 performance...good drivin position..fun in highways..not competitive looks compared to civic:)
