Bought Skoda Laura L&K 6 months back and at 17,000kms i would like to share few points

 

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Less on space, i hit my head and disturbs my hairdo when ever I get in and out, all the features are great if they work properly, I never could make the side rear view mirrors defogging work, the rear defogger is not satisfactory, the dynamic headlights during turns do not work, i complained during service and later, but it could not be rectified, the fog settles at the bottom portion of the front windshield after a drizzle and you need to use the wipers and driving becomes very iritating, I have complained but the service do not have a permanent solution for the same.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance and response is excellent, on an average i drive around 100kms per day and enjoy the drive, fuel economy for the performance is excellent, with regard to gearbox i need to park my car in an inclined position and as per practice I shift to park mode and then pull my handbrake. When I need to start again I disengage the handbrake and need to shift to reverse, at this point the GEARBOX makes a THUD NOISE FROM  P to R. I have tried the other way round first pulling the hanbrake  and then shifting to P, that too did'nt help.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good and handling is fantastic, been to couple of long rides and enjoyed the ride.

Final Words The features are to be maintained, else a SKODA LAURA L&K is not worth the buy.

Areas of improvement The service centres are not equiped with quality personel to maintain all the features, as the seniors are themselves doubtful whether the features mentioned are really available. Service centre personel are very secretive and do not share the points with the owners, simply the trust is not there, not informative experience.

Styling is good, enjoy riding, good fuel economyi being 6ft 2inches and weighing almost 130kgs, it feels less spacious
