Grab the Thar

What a mind-blowing car, such an amazing feel when you drive it, comfort is not bad, road presence is good, and you will enjoy every bit of second while driving, but mileage is a bit issue.

Bad experience with skoda

Bad experience withSkoda We liked the car . Ride is good and comfortable . Service is very costly . we had a very bad experience. With ac . Two times serving cost 65000 per one time . When ever there is problem with something whole part has to be replaced.
