| ![]() It's just BS, to give them a chance to deny warranty on suspension components. If you are upsizing or staggering with spacers, there is some value to that argument, but how will fitting the same size different alloys do anything to the working of the suspension ? This is again cheap fear mongering, either to hard sell different OEM alloys to you, or to plant the idea into your head that if you wish to do anything at all to your car, you better get it done only from their dealership, to 'protect warranty'. |

| ![]() I think you are right. Probably what I mentioned applies to T-Cross. |

| ![]() Hi, I took delivery of Octavia Onyx 1.8 TSI in race blue colour. The car is truly value for money in all respects. The driving experience is truly exceptional. I am just adding a pic. Will add more pics and details soon. I am thankful to everyone for the guidance. Thanks and regards Sumesh |

One suggestion is that the black Premia alloys are not gelling with the chrome lining on the windows. Better to wrap the latter I think unless you're considering changing the alloys to the normal silver. | |

Congratulations Sumesh. Great choice & colour. Advice would be to wrap the Chrome window sill linings in black. They look odd because the Wing mirrors are also black & there's a black strip on your doors. The black alloys look stunning IMHO. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just visited Skoda Dealer in Hyderabad. Octavia Style in bot 1.4 and 1.8 TSI is not available anymore. Only options are Onyx and L&K. No discount on Onyx. Did not check on Diesel. |

| ![]() The blue colour offered in Octavia Onyx as well as Octavia VRS is the same "Race Blue". This can be found in the official launch news of both the cars in Skoda india website. The colour offered in Rapid Onyx is Lapiz Blue. Regards, Sumesh |

Ended up not buying either ![]() The onyx edition seems to be a stickering job on the Style variants along with the all black alcantara interiors Last edited by TSIVTEC : 9th November 2019 at 16:25. | |

| ![]() Heartiest Congratulations Sumesh ! You have really ignited the desire in me to go for the Octavia 1.8 Tsi instead of the Honda Civic. The only thing that bothers me is the strong possibility of discontinuation of the 1.8 TSI engine and the availability of spares a few years down the line. I maintain my cars well and intend to keep it for around 10 years. Quote:
Do post some pics of the interior also. The test drive car they gave me was the L&K , so I haven't yet see the interiors of the Onyx. Congrats once again . Looks stunning !! Last edited by khan_sultan : 9th November 2019 at 19:54. Reason: Back to back posts | |
