Hi guys,

Took delivery of the LAura a few days back. Just did my first 580 km drive. The tuning box is in already and the car moves much much better now. The best part I can see right off is the average i got at speeds of 120 - 140km. It is very much near 15kms to a lit. I drove a total of 875 km in the past 2 days and the average is 15.4. I think it is great. I have never got that in even the old Skoda 1.9 nor the RS. The car handles really well. The suspension is way above the old car and I personally feel it is worth every penny guys. You need to take it for a long drive.

The DSG is to die for. This is the first automatic that I actually found great to drive. I mean it guys it can be a very good manual. You can drive it exactly like a manual, the shifts are so quick in the triptronic mode too.

I'll write in details as soon as I get back by the end of the week,

The car is not the old Skoda at all. It is a completely different car.
