Skoda Laura User Reviews

I just purchased a luara L&k 2.0 face lift version I also chek and test drive of many car like BMW 3 serics Audi A4 Vax vegan XETA  and many more but in last I have finalized for laura l and k because its same as Audi A4 all future are same and price diffrence is approxi 9 to 10 lakh engine is totaly same so I think  laura is value for money and good brand value also

I have driven 2000 km but I like a pickup and raod grip of this car its just superb and make your drive a thirll its auto gearbox is very nice and smooth if your think for l and k go blindly and you will enjoy your driving pleasure but I cant forgot write hear for very bad experice from delear so please when you purchse the car please choose good delear.

Final Words Its like a  ROCKET.

Areas of improvement NA.

Exterior High std aero dynamic with good look which can be improved. New Laura comes with sporty alloy wheel increased the look many fold.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) New laura in lowest model giving 7" touch screen and 6 CD changer with Bluetooth and steering MFD and audio control. Spacewise very comfortable and ideally suited with total size of body makes flexible use in daily life.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is study and outstanding. Fuel economy is great but one require control his own right pedal for aotu ver as rocket feel while pressing accelrator pedal is great drinks fuel also. Otherwise one can easily takes 17KPL.

Ride Quality & Handling Drinks all potholes and gives comfort Indian roads condition require to come up for talking full joy of ride as except NH other roads are not that good. For handling no comments.

Final Words In this range with careful selection of version it is a perfect deal.

Areas of improvement  Exterior look specially rear.

Exterior Great presence with chiselled looks at the front. However the rear appears outdated. Little boxy. I wish the car looked more contemporary.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent fit and finish. Way ahead of most Japanese cars in terms of quality of material provided. Felt lined interiors, compartments and boxes that close with a smooth thud. Spacious in the back. Boot is as big as a small apartment in Colaba.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Closest thing to a sports car. Can leave far more expensive cars red faced. Practically flat torque curve once it crosses 1800 rpm and keeps pulling upto 200kmph without a sweat. It can probably do upto 225 though I have never tried. Combines with great fuel efficiency. I generally get 10 kmpl in Hyd city.  Silky smooth gear box which even a child would be able to operate.

Ride Quality & Handling Overall very good. Very refined and soft with 15" wheels. Even at full throttle the car does not convey a sense of speed, there is no sound of protest fron the engine ! This is the positive and negative aspect.

Final Words Very little can beat this if you are a driving enthusiast looking for good value for money. On the road, it can easily whip any car on this side of Rs30 Lakhs. A wolf in sheep's clothing. I'm waiting for the 200 bhp, 2.0 L version to arrive. 

Areas of improvement Not much except the looks.

Exterior

Though not exactly a perfect looking exterior, the new Laura definitely makes its presence felt on the roads!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Comfortable seats, (though backseats could have been better), amazing maneuverability and gives a very secured feeling. Music system (though single CD Player) has good sound output

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Though a bit higher on the engine noise levels, this car has a gem of an engine. Amazing torque (with no turbo lag). Outstanding on mileage. (At times our car has delivered mileage of 20kms/ltr during highway trips, that too with AC on!) This is the car which i have driven at 200km/hr on Mumbai-Pune expressway!

Ride Quality & Handling

 Bit stiff suspensions and steering feel could have been better especially at high speeds.

Final Words

 Value for money car, with almost no competition in this segment (especially for the diesel option)

Areas of improvement  

 Steering mounted controls should be std accessory. Music system should have USB connectivity. Engine noise levels should be improved.

Exterior Good solid international look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not too happy with the fabric seats, but good leg room and a very comfortable car to drive.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Powerful engine and quite, the DSG box is a real pleasure to own and drive the extra bucks you pay is just worth it. Fual economy is around 8.5 to 9 in city driving with A/c and around 12 on the highway, but if you have a car such as the Laura drive it. Economy should mean nothing with this car. It's just SUPER.

Ride Quality & Handling Super, Super, Super.

Final Words Don't think twice, I test drove quite a few TDI cars, this was the best in the budget that I had in mind.

Areas of improvement Skoda should try and provide a few more features in the base model at Rs. 18.50 lakhs (on road Bangalore). The spare tyre could also be alloys instead of a regular steel rim.
