Freebies: Free mudflaps, premium floor and boot mats, and teflon coating. Would've gotten more if I'd done the insurance through them, but got a better deal by doing the insurance myself.

Can't wait for delivery!

Just did the PDI today. What's fantastic is that it's a Jan 2012 car. The PDI checked out fine and I should get delivery in about 4 days after the registration's done.

Make : Skoda
Model : Rapid
Variant : 1.6 TDI CR, Elegance
Fuel : Diesel
Color : Candy White
Expected Delivery Date : Within 25 days
Dealer & City : St.Antony's, Cochin
Freebies : None.
Others : Buying this for my use in Cochin. I currently use my Laura TSI in Chennai and my Baleno in Cochin, and the wife uses the Fiesta 1.6. The Baleno has been a truly amazing car and I am not sure whether I will sell it - 12 years with me bought new and still feels new, looks new (with original paint that still shines like new - no teflon coat and waxed just once) and goes better than new

!!! (doesn't even have rust in the water drain holes of the doors!!!)

Pre-registration inspection passed.

Being 2011 model, this car will have spent some time in stockyard, and I requested that they do a better job of cleaning it. Engine bay was quite dusty.

If my cheque clears by mid-day tomorrow, it will be registered immediately and delivered tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise, Monday.

Just waiting to get to home from the showroom all spic and span. Very good dealership experience.

Congrats Docaxe ! Do keep updates on the Zdi. Did you drive the VDi too , if so , is there any change in the L/V braking , assuming MSIL did heed the weak braking complaints ?

I am sure you must have thought through options and arrived at Civic , it's great choice. Now wonder the new model may be around the corner(but it is not as revolutionary as the current Civic, infact it's more like a blown up City) , yes there would be some features updates, engine updates, All said the current civic ages well and still is the benchmark in style, hassle free ownership , peppy and futuristic among its class!

I am keen to see the pictures of Urban titanium and did you not opt for Caska, I feel that a good compliment.

I don't think there is a need to mention fuel specifically for Honda cars, isn't it.
UT would look great on Civic.
