A Decent Luxury Car with exceptional features/specs

Exterior The built is strong, color quality is superior, xenon lights and chrome grill are stylish, windows & Glasses are high quality. Tail lights however were better in previous platform untill 2006-155BHP models.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Huge space at the rear and front, comparable to S-E Class mercedes. Audio is good, speaker quality, bass is amazing. Comfortable seats, softer suspension, Automatic climate control, however its not as effective as other cars like hyundai, honda. HHeavy doors, airbags ensure safety.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 2500 cc, 350NM torque, feels rocket when turbo spools, however quite fuel consuming with AC in traffic jams, but on motorway-it provides excellent fuel economy even 6l/100km if tyre pressure is correctly set as prescribed on fuel cap, although its higher than indian road standards, but definitely improves fuel economy. Gearbox is cool in D mode, shifts brilliantly, and in gives sporty feel in manual tiptronic mode.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is what german cars are known for, this is skoda from outside however all internal parts are VW Audi, and hence quite expensive but built to last, just pray that none of them goes bad, parts are hard to find and even if the vehicle is too old now, parts are still expensive.

Excellent suspension and handling at corners, this version is more low and sticks to the ground at high speeds, quite opposite to SUV height feeling. Heavier steering feels good on highways.

Final Words To summarize, its a pretty decent limo, luxury car with excellent features and specifications, however I would not suggest this car to a beginner and even if they are cheap due to poor resale value of skoda, it would require a lot of intelligence, knowledge and experience to keep this car in good condition and maintain it forever.

Areas of improvement Power Steering, which is quite stiff, AC also isnt too effective.

Engine Torque-350NM, Suspension,safety-6 airbags, fuel economy at highwaysPower Steering Bit heavy, Parts not easily available and costly too
