    DRIVING:

    Exterior

     The head lamp and fog lamp looks awesome. The masculine exterior body looks attractive, the front & rear view is adopted from typical Skoda lineage, I like the look, particularly the front grill. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     Interiors are quite spacious and seats are comfortable. Have enough leg space. However, in the rear seat only two persons can sit comfortably, the third guy sitting in the middle don't have sufficient leg space. The duel tone colour is quite eye soothing. Styling of dash board is attractive. Cabin lamps are illumunative. Storing space though enough, however, the space behind the back seat and rear glass could be designed more intelligently so that additional storing space could have been accomodated, otherwise the space goes waste. Hand rests, front and rear, are comfortable.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    Engine performance is simply suparb ! Exciting to drive ! I purchased the car mainly influenced by the engine performance. A well engineered car. In city I get about 15km/ltr monthly averge and in highways between 18 to 20 km/ltr, at times it exceeds 21 km. The gear box is smooth however, I feel a minor jerk from behind after each gear shift, particularly when driving slowly. 

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Riding is very comfortable for the driver and passengers as well. Even in long run, there is no discomfort because of diesel engine. The climatic control AC system works well. I am still not conversant with all features of MDU. The manual does not have much functional details of MDU.

    Final Words

     A well engineered car, probably one of the best in its class.

    Areas of improvement  

     The music system, must have at least a USB port and a remote control devise. The car has less features compared to competitors, such as control panel in steering and reverse park assist

    Driving comfort, good styling, spacious and excellent fuel economyMusic system is unfit for a 2012 model.
