స్కోడా ఆక్టావియా [2015-2017] వినియోగదారుల రివ్యూలు

Fact is that in a span of 6 months the vehicle's clutch and gear box has broken down twice which reflects that either its faulty workmanship or the parts used had manufacturing defects. From the problems seen and reported by various clients, all point to the fact that the parts are faulty. Its morally unethical on the part of Skoda to demand half a lac from the clients every 4 to 6 months for this.

As regards fuel consumption, thats the only plus point that this vehicle has that too only the diesel version which is in though already in government cross hairs and expected to be banned in the near future.

Its upto the new clients to keep in mind that this is an inherent problem and needs to be fixed by Skoda before anyone thinks of purchasing Skoda Octavia in 2017, lest the Gear Box assembly is fixed by Skoda manufacturers. Till such time extreme precaution in deciding to purchase should be taken.

The customer service is not upto the mark. They commit something and then do not deliver on it and then argue to prove themselves as correct and can go to any extent to prove themselves right.

Fuel EconomyGear Box Failures every 6 months

Exteriors are good lookig but get trapped by exteriors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Has a very poor gear shifting from 2-3, 3-4 you have to drive at a speed of  60 km per hour in cities to feel a light engine otherwise strain all the the time between 2-4 gear.

Ride Quality & Handling IS GOOD BUT IF THE ENGINE IS NOT REFINED AND NOT COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE THEN WHAT IS  THE FUN OF HAVING A GOOD RIDE QUALITY.THE SUSPENSION IS VERY STIFF AS COMPARED TO PETROL VERSION I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS BEEN DONE.

Final Words DIESEL OCTAVIA 2017 MODEL AT, IS NOT A RECCOMENDED CAR AT ALL  AT A PRICE OF 26 LAKHS. BETTER BUY SOME OTHER CAR BECAUSE SKODA PEOPLE AFTER SELLING THE CAR WOULD NERVER LISTEN TO YOUR EVEN GENIUNE PROBLEMS.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TAKE A TEST DRIVE AT LEAST 10 TIMES NOT ONCE BEFORE BUYING DIESEL.DRIVE BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 15-25 AND FEEL THE PROBLEM DONT TAKE A TEST DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS OTERWISE YOU WILL BE MISTAKEN DRIVE IN CITIES  BETWEEN 2ND -3RD  GEAR THEN DECIDE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE, I AM VERY CONFIDANT YOU WILL NEVER BUY THE CAR. WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR ,THROUGH OUT YOUR DRIIVING YOU FEEL THAT AS IF THE HAND BREAKS ARE APLLLIED AND YOU ARE TRYING TO OVERCOME THAT BY PRESSING THE ACCELETRATOR CONTINOUSLY AND ULTIMATELY YOU GET THE LOW BACKACHE. I HAD HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE VW DSG GEAR BOX WHICH SKOKA HAS ACUIRED FOR OCTAVIA BUT I AM VERY SORRY TO SAY THAT IT IS NOT AT ALL COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AND EVERY TIME WHEN THE GEAR IS SHIFTED UPWARDLY THE ENGINE GETS FULLY RAISED AND THE DRIVER FEELS QUITE UNCFORTABLE UNTILL THE IS CHANGED AUTOMATICALLY. THIS IS FELT WITH EVERY TIME EITHER YOU CHANE FROM 2-3 O WHICH I SHOULD NOT BE THERE IN SUCH AN EXPENSIVE CARR 3-4 OR FROM 4-5 OR EVEN AT 5-6 GEAR SHIFTING IS STRENOUS AND IS FELT WHICH I FEEL SHOULD NOT BE THERE IN SUCH AN EXPENSIVE CAR.

Areas of improvement GEAR BOX NEEDS IMPROVEMENT PARTICULARLY IN DIESEL VARIENT PROBABLY SKODA LUANCHED THE CAR WITHOUT TETING ON ROAD,IN FACT 2013 OCTAVIA  DIESEL ENGINE WAS MORE REFINED.

the plus point is it is fuel efficentgear shifting in diesel octavia is worst eithei 2-3 or from 3-4.you feel as if sumbody is pulling yo

It's an awesome car with great interiors and exteriors, with a great DSG gearbox, good suspension, good legroom and headroom, nice features and great boot! It's extremely driveable, with smooth gear changes, convenient in both city conditions and on highways! Overall a great package!

I m big fan of skoda . I drove skoda Octavia 2007 model from 2011 to may 2019 for 200000+ kms with comfort,safety and no breakdowns Safety space comfort reliability n many more features are in this car which anyone can describe after buying THE SKODA. Maintaining a skoda is always an issue but if you love your family n your car too then no matters what the maintenance cost is . You are paying for the luxury n for your peace of mind. Love the skoda n wish to buy in the next year Thanks

Everytime I start the engine I have a smile on my face. Disclaimer : I have a big bias for skoda cars Since I am a regular at skoda the whole car purchase was a breeze and I got a door step delivery, the cost at the time was 8 lakhs more than what I had paid for my LAURA 2.0 litre diesel but it was worth it! I've done 25k kms on the odo and it still feels like new and even smells like a fresh out of the factory car. I love the go kart like feel while driving and the tight turning radius could put a hatchback to shame. The looks department are the best part, this car was designed to catch eye balls and catch eye balls it does sleek, sophisticated and elegant thats what it is , the drl's are on point and the headlamp styling compliments the car so well! The interiors are spacious and the boot is a beast! you can put in at least 3 full grown men and a dog in there (not that you should). The servicing, up keep and cost of running this car have been quite reasonable with no major replacement or repairs so far , but keep in mind that skoda parts replacement car be a bit of a shocker Pros : 1) See above Cons : 1) You might make your spouse jealous by loving your car more

It's a smooth and comfortable riding. Amazing looking super performance .i love this car and I have a done this car test drive. Wonderful car.this car is my dream. Sweet wala car. Thanks

Overall its a Wonderful Car. Riding it feels like going in a safe comfort movable home. Having great power with a good hold on road. Servicing is costlier. Parts are too costlier.

Bad experience withSkoda We liked the car . Ride is good and comfortable . Service is very costly . we had a very bad experience. With ac . Two times serving cost 65000 per one time . When ever there is problem with something whole part has to be replaced.

Buying experience: Good as you would expect it to be
Riding experience: Very much happy and the suspension is also good the power output really shows and the tires also give good grip
Details about looks, performance etc: It looks mind booglingly sexy and I can't praise it and the performence is unreal in its seemt I really like it
Servicing and maintenance: It's not so good as Skoda is not been able to set up a good service network in India and there replacement parts are also so expensive.
Pros and Cons: Pro will be the engine the dag gearbox all the facilities and the price coms would be theaintenece and reliability
