Guys, just got a testdrive of the Skoda Laura today evening.

I really liked the plush interiors. Its pretty much got everything. Leather feels really good and the plastic is of nice quality and has a nice feeling too. All the controls are almost near ur reach. The small display is useful while reversing and also displays tyre pressure, AC controls and the music sys menu. Well the backseat still remains a writeoff. Nuting much to say, it almost felt similar to the Octavia's. The ride is very smooth indeed. And there is no cabin noise giving u a peaceful ride even in the city traffic. There is a noteable difference in power due to the new injection system. It feel more refined and pick up is a notch better. The DGS gearbox was good. I can't say more cuz i haven't driven any auto car in India till now.

The styling is very sharp, with the comletely new front. Not eveyone may like the design, but still looks good to me.

And now a few pix...
