Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG: Initial impressions & dealership experience

The start stop system is too aggressive which I'm not liking one bit. Other than that the car feels quite good in all aspects.

BHPian audioholic recently shard this with other enthusiasts.

Got my Slavia delivered after almost squeezing everyone's lives out for a car since the 1.5 DSG seems to be some rare element. Based on my driving of my cousin's Polo GT TSI, I can say that they have really toned down the aggressiveness of the DSG. That's the reason the manual feels more fun.

Dealership experience was a huge roller coaster ride. But thanks to some modes of escalation who sorted out things for me and ensured things go smoothly. On the other hand, the feature changes and deletions were worrying. I feel the car is already overpriced and with another hike, missing out on the sub woofer, amplifier, wireless car play is just not done. If I hadn't got a May 22 car, I would have missed all these and probably would have canceled the booking itself.
