Laura Ambiente - Red, delivered yesterday - Team-BHP

vipul_bscity · 18th January 2008, 14:29

Hi Dear,

Got the delivery of Laura Ambiente - Red yesterday from JMD Skoda, Thane. All done in good, got the desired reg no also.GUys from JMD were good and more or less on time. Got the car delivered to my place by their driver.

Running on stock Dunlop rubber, feels good till now. let see how is the response when I take this to ride for long.

driven some 140 KM till now. Its very early to say anything, but one thing I wanted to say that the overall technology and build of this car (as hopefully goes with all VW/Skoda cars) has made me feel the japanees car as toys. While saying that, I myself is an extensive user of two Corollas over last 3 years. Laura feels so advance except the engine (PD) which is a bit old technology.

I need to upgrade the leathers and ICE and hopefully I may be going to get that peted or remapped. Will keep the pics soon.

Anything specific you guys advice to follow during some initials few hundred KMs??

Thanks,

Congratulations on the new car. The Laura sure looks good in red. Do keep us updated on the ownership experience. I am especially interested in the standard goodies you get in the Ambiente.Cant really make out in the paper ads

I love the Laura, am a great fan of it, and in Red, it must be flashing itself away to Glory

. Congrats Vipul for the car i think is one of most good looking cars on Indian Roads.

The Laura is a really nice car and has a good premium feel to it. Congratulations. Hope to see some pictures soon.

congratz Vipul!!
how much did it cost u OTR?
I heard the`dealers were offering good discounts on the Laura.

hmishra83 · 22nd January 2008, 18:25

Is it the maroonish RED or the Octavia-ish Bright Blazing RED?

I saw the brighter version on a Laura RS (Auto Expo 2008) but didnt know that they were gonna sell it in the same color (without the RS bit) so soon!
