I had this car, after Octavia I moved to Fiat linea which is also good but I am missing the steering feedback, turning radius, power and surprisingly mileage and many more things 😅

Skoda Octavia is not technically a sedan, it's a Liftback. Liftback cars look like sedans but their dikkis or rear compartment lid open like Maruti Alto or Maruti Swift. You can search for liftbacks from all over the world including Opel Vectra, Opel Insignia, Ford Mondeo, and Tesla Model S. It's very interesting that Skoda is the first brand in India to bring the liftback which is a revolutionary change in Indian Automobile industry.
