Skoda Octavia: Simply Unbeatable

Hello fellow mates,I am Pratik a bike enthusiast and i was traveling pune to my uncles place as it was collage vacation. I already had got to know from my uncle who just loves car that he has bought New Skoda Octavia 2015 1.8 TSI Style plus well frankly speaking i wasn't that exited as i never had heard any thing good about skoda the only thing i knew was superb being superb and the after sales jokes in News article which we all know about.The moment i entered the house i saw it was covered with the car cover as always my uncle just treats and cares his cars like they are million dollar smokey lamos. After 3hr journey from mumbai-Pune i was not in a mood to look at it went straight asleep. I woke up in the morning and just came yawning out from my room to balcony and Dam i see her getting washed by my cousin and there i fall in love with her. Immediately went running towards her and visited Skoda Website for SpecsExterior--Chiseled body and crisp lines of the Octavia makes it look poised.-Crystalline highlights? and sharp cuts are all over the car being a European.-The LED DRL and Bi-Xenon headlights wow they are magnificent.-The beauty full Butterfly grill adds to bold avatar of the vehicle.-The Panoramic Sunroof is cute spacious in its segment.-The length its too 4659mm long enough to extend your parking lot and a concern to park in tight spaces (my experience)Interior--Like very Euro-german car, they call it Onyx-Ivory i call it Dull(my uncle loves it as its just plain and classy- but i think it should get high contrast interior to its bold and racy character)- 2zone AC- 6.5inch Music system (Thats Super lound)-Console fit and finish is top notch.-the Rear leg Room space its humongous.-3 person cannot sit comfortable at rear seat due to transmission tunnel bump.-Boot space is cosmic 625L can be extended to 1580L You and literally fit dead body's in it just Kiding.Engine Specs--1.8 TSI turbocharged petrol engine- in-line, liquid cooling system-Power let the number to the talking- 177php or 180ps(Pferdest�rke) generating a Whopping torque of 250NM.-Powered BY 7 Speed DSG gearbox known for the performance.-Very Strong pick up and mid-range.Safety-It has got what not.-8 airbags-ABS-ECS (Electronic Stability Control)-TPM (Monitors tyre Pressure) -EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution)-MKB(Multi collision braking) (youtube it its really nice.)-ASR (Anti Slip Regulation) + MSR (Motor Speed Regulation)-AFS (Adaptive Frontlight System) A smart feature the light Automatically Adjusts according to the speed, corners Etc in short the Surroundings.-EDL (Electronic Differential Lock) cannot explain please youtube it.i have never spent so much time researching on any car(bikes i do) i visited Skoda web site, googled jargons and Youtubed things to understand.Back to the storyAfter the was getting completed i was eager to fell the vehicle. My Uncle came towards me and said "Chalavnar ka?" in marathi means "Want to ride?I had a grin like a small school boy offered a Candy.I rushed inside the vehicle and the first thing i did was adjust the seat according to my posture the best thing was The Seats was 12way electrically adjustable that was something new for me i adjusted the lumber support as it was very comfortable. the started the engine and the MFD indicated me fasten the seat belt. Their was empty road with quite good corners.I was ready to test this machine my uncle gave me a stare and said "put all of your skill let me see what are you up to". Damm i press the accelerator pedal a bit and i felt like i was on a roller coaster launched form its Pad. my leg went towards the left to find the clutch and my dumbness i forgot it was an AT. The moment i fit the corner i could Literally feel the ECS (Electronic Stability Control) working on brakes to help we maintain the lane and avoid me drifting the car out of control, breaking was Fabulous. I noticed the a 2 small leaver on the steering wheel as asked what was it uncle said Pedal shiftier skoda call them gear shift control on steering wheel, i resembled them to one in Ferrari(My bad) but i felt them Awesome as i tested them for Top speed run ohh wait i dint tell you that before finishing the ride i took her to Spine road it was was long stretch(7-8 km) road minimal or No traffic- i spot on managed to hit the indicated speed of 180 Km/hr i could have got more of it but i did not. Coming over to the conclusion the vehicle has got the Best in class ride and Handling ( i have driven Elantra as well) the Build Quality is Super strong and sturdy i am in love with it since then. The only thing my uncle said was that this all has a Cost to it(vehicle cost & service) but if you ask me i am ready to empty all my accounts to get her parked in my parking lot and i will.Well this was my experience or review on the skoda Octavia. Thank you for reading it till the end. Tc Drive safe Always with your seat beats on cause its a jungle out there. Good bye :)
