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.
