Here's why my Skoda Slavia feels special : Observations after 100 km

The power delivery is very linear and smooth. It is just the right amount to have fun without being crazy!

There is something special about owning a sedan! This can only be experienced after getting one! And this one certainly feels extra special!

You are right about this sedan being special! I am glad I picked the MY23 version with the discounts, makes it serious VFM.

I knew that this engine-gearbox combo was one of the best in the price bracket! But boy, now I am in love with it. I keep finding excuses to drive this car over my other cars.

I have driven only a 100-150 odd kms and my observations are:

1. The power delivery is very linear and smooth. It is just the right amount to have fun without being crazy! My 330Li has much more power but once you press hard on the accelerator it is explosive and it can get out of control.
2. The steering is super light and feels very easy to drive. The car feels chuckable.
3. Build quality feels robust but there are a few odd rattles here and there. The interior plastics seem inferior at this price point.
4. The music system is just adequate, the infotainment is laggy at times (reminds me of my TATA Safari)
5. The DSG gearbox felt jerky during the first few days but I am getting the hang of it now. Learning how to use the paddles to extract the maximum performance.
6. The car is gorgeous to look at!
