Stay Away From The Slavia. Terrible Quality Car
This is a review after 1 week of ownership, 500kms of driving, and 3 trips to the workshop. It will be a short, point wise review 1. The rear camera is the lowest quality you can imagine 2. When reversing the car rushes backward at very high speed, and combine that with a poor rear camera (and its worse at night), and it is designed to increase the probability of hitting someone 3. There are no front parking sensors 4. The car also lunges forward when you release the brakes. This particularly creates a challenge when parking your car because even if you release the brakes a little, it moves forward with a jerk, rushing towards the wall. So you have to keep braking hard to get the right spot when parking. Mixed with the fact that there are no front parking sensors, the car is designed to crash while parking and damaging the front bumpers. It is only a matter of time. 5. The brakes mostly always make a groaning, screeching sound that you expect from a truck or a train. And this is most apparent when parking. 6. The mile-age is quite terrible. In the city with no traffic you can at best get a 10-11kmpl. Else in normal traffic it usually gives around 7kmpl. 7. There is no Tire Pressure Monitoring system. You have no idea what the pressure in the tyres is. There is a tyre pressure alert system, but on one instance when my tire pressure exceeded the limit, it never gave me any alert. Looks like the tyre pressure alert system doesnt work 8. The instrumentation clsuter and the touch screen interface is ok. It is not well designed, and is inconvenient to use, and hence takes your eyes off the road if you try to change or see anything data while driving. Best is to park the car and then change the setting. Nothing is one-click. Everything requires 2-3 clicks. 9. The AC keeps making a loud hissing sound all the time. Its an intermittent hissing sound that keeps going on for long. I dont think it ever stops. 10. The plastics, and buttons are cheap, hard and clunky It is a very poorly designed car, and not sophisticated at all. I regret buying this car, and my goal is to sell it off soon. My recommendation to others is to stay away from buying a Slavia . I also own a Kia Seltos, and for the same price that is a far far superior car in terms of smoothness, mileage, ease of operation, convenience, and ride quality.

- Fabulous CarWe recently got home the Skoda Slavia. Honestly it is a fabulous car. The built quality is great, the interiors are amazing, the engine is powerful and responsive, gearbox is smooth. The driving experience is excellent. The low ground clearance can be a hurdle something when going over big speedbrakers and potholes.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo

- Great Driving ExperienceI was looking to buy a car which provides amazing driving experience and nothing can beat Skoda Slavia in that. The built quality is tough, the engine is powerful and the stability is amazing over 100. You can feel the confidence when driving on the highway. It does miss out on a lot of features offered by Verna but Slavia is the perfect car for driving enthusiast.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo

- Best Sedan In The SegmentI was looking to buy a good reliable sedan, with very limited options available in the market now, I finalised the Skoda Slavia. The 1.5 Sportline DSG feels powerful and fun to drive, the pick up is great and the gear changes are swift. The cylinder deactivation helps in achieving better mileage, which is a new technology for me. I am able to get 13 kmpl in the city and upto 19 kmpl on the highways. Though the interiors feel upscale, the fit and finish feel flimsy and the noise insulation is not adequate. I dont mind facing these minor hiccups, Slavia is one of the best sedan available in the marlet.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo
