You've picked up the best petrol head car from the segment. A car that delivers pure driving pleasure that is unmatched by several cars sitting above as well.
When I saw the blue shade, the first thing I thought was, is this a new vRs edition Skoda have quietly launched. It has been a while a true vRs edition has come from Skoda India. I don't consider the previous generation Laura vRs special. Looked more a badge job than anything else.
Excellent choice for your new car. |
Thanks, indeed the Laura vRS wasn't a proper vRS. This was the reason which did not make me wait for the vRS for the current model and I wouldn't be disappointed even if a proper vRS comes up sooner or later, pretty much satisfied with the power et all on this. Quote:

Any idea if Skoda has any concrete plans to launch this model in India? Anyone with insider info ..please share
i just wish they launch the new VRs with manual gear shifts |
I know, but this ain't bad for starters Quote:

This Car from its generation last, had been on my buying list but larger love for SUVs and need to travel very bad road played heavy on me.
This version of Octavia is cracker of the product and would surely have one day. |
Thanks for the wishes !
Well, to each his own, my travel never needs an SUV otherwise the fortuner tops my wish list since 2006. ( even before it was launched in India). All the best for your endeavour towards the Octavia. Quote:

Cheers. |
Thanks Bro. I know the Laal Pari was famous and that makes it more difficult to not name this the Neeli Pari. Let me think more about it.
Will post more pics. See you soon. Cheers. Quote:
