    Did a short drive once

    A lot needs to be done if Skoda is thinking to take India seriously. They need to hire a PR agency to undo all after-sales horror stories. I just chnaged my mind at the last moment tpo buy this car due to ugly perception on after-sales.

    Surprisingly they are sponsoring several ads and banners on carwale.com but they aint doing anything on perception management.

    Some of the reviews were unthinkable. Thus its better to be wiser than a fool and would go with the better winner - VW or even for that matter - Hyundai. (in necessary order)

    Skoda Wake-up (this is India we dont scrap cars after a few years, its our second-home as we spend more than 6-7 hours in our car) Please clear the air if it exist as the decision to purchase gets hampered. It is a sad state of affair.

    Took a test drive and my friend owns it. Its a superb car, packed with raw power as you accelerate beyond a point. Comfortable and a good family car. 

    Spacious but interiors seem to be tacky and cheap! Verna scores better than all of them here.

    Features- as if Skoda missed the entertainment and basic integration. They have seriously taken this very lightly.

    Exteriors- Fabia's elder sister. VW's lost brother.

    Safety- Scored well here with saferty features even on lower versions.
