2013 Skoda Octavia

Overall experience of the car is very good. The power it gives and response of the automatic gearbox is excellent. As soon as you enter the cabin you can feel the quality interiors and a sense of luxury it comes with. The built quality is exceptional. When on highway driving at high speed even around 150-160 km per hour it feels safe . Decent amount of space for the rear seat passangers and 12 way automatic adjustment with 3 memory functions for the driver is the best I’m class and how can one forget the best in class boot space its massive with access from the rear seat as well.

I was buy skoda octavia on march 2016, from 4th april 2017 my car was with skoda service center baroda due to engine fail, my car run only 22000 km and engine was fail, now company say it is your mistake we are not resposibal for this. We are very unsetisfied from this company and them staff as well as after sales service. I have purchase Skoda Octavia Auto from your authorized show room. From the date of purchase to till this date, vehicle facing small to big problems at regular interval though I am regularly servicing my vehicle only at your authorized service center. I am really disappointed with this kind of working condition of my vehicle. After just 22,000 Kms of run, I got problem and handed over my car at Baroda authorized service center and till this date it is with them only. After very long time they said me your car’s engine was fail. I am very very disappointed with all this and my questions are. (1) How engine failure in small range of Kms. run is possible in this car? (2) How its possible in a such type of vehicle that small /big problem arising at some regular interval? (3) Doesn't having any warranty for new one? Dear sir even small family car run smoothly for near about 1,50,000 kms. Above all mentioned problem clearly indicating that from the date of purchase I got vehicle having malfunctioned engine. I am very much disappointed with all these issues.3rd class car in world, after sale service and woranti is just for talk not for customer.after sales service and woranti is just for paper not for customer.

This is the first time in decades that the car is withthe Service center for 10 days and even after 10 days there is no surity of when it will be delivered .There were issues with software and creen but got resolved but one bump and the alignment got disturbed and service center was unable to find out for 4 days and even after more than 10 days ,I do not know when I will get my car back.I contacted Skoda Customer care also and requested them to ensure that I get my car back quickly but besides lip service,nothing seems to have been done.The Local Dealer did not have the parts and even after 10 days says they are waiting.This is the first time that visits -almost every day- have to be made to try and get the car back .I have had experiecnes of many other brands in last few decades but this is the worst experience. The car does not seem suited for rough Indian Roads. You can not affors to buy Octavia if you own onky one car.THE CAR LOOKS GOODAFTER SALES SERVICE SUPPORT IS PATHETIC AND DEALER RESPONSE IS EVEN WORSE

Exterior  Great Looks. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)  Navigation is missing. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  I have driven it a number of times on Yamuna Expressway taking speed to 222km/hr but handling after 160km/hr requires firm steering grip. The car can move from 0-200km/hr in just 34 seconds provided the oil temperature is over 100 degree centigrade. Ride Quality & Handling  TSI plus DSG is simply great. Just remove your foot from the brake padel and see yourself how smoothly it moves.  On Expressway no car comes closer to its performance. Kick the accelarator at 80km/hr and see the turbo effect the car moves ahead like a rocket. No one can beat it in performance. At about Engine revs 3000 the speed it attains is over 145km/hr. Final Words If you are familiar with first generation Octavia then try this third generation Octavia its a different level altogather. If you like this car go for it. You won't be disappointed. Areas of improvement    Adaptive cruise control, lane assist and drive select. These features are available in international model so why not in India.  Space and comfortSome features available in international models are absent.
