@@arunkumar-ok4pm it's going really nice Cons- the suspension is way too stiff under load, AC in back is sometime inadequate. Mileage is bad, but I don't care about that honestly. Also a few days ago the tire in the front right suddenly burst when i was doing my local commute. I mean it was kinda expected since I didn't start my car for 2 months and the tires were flatspotted. I am using the spare tire rn. Other than that it's a beast, the performance is so good I can drive for hours. It's a driver's delight. Easy to drive in town

Your video motivated to exchange my honda city V & buy slavia....excellent detailing with all pros & cons

[@navtegsingh]

I myself being a Honda City owner. I would want to replace my City with Slavia. Daamm tha design is too good. And the TSI motors in manual are a gem to drive. The 1.0 L has a good balance of more than sufficient power & torque with good average. Obviously 1.5 L is a rocket, but don't expect any avg out of it. But with current fuel prices and my daily drive 1.0 L would be more than enough, as the 1.5 L will surely be expensive than the competition looking at how Skoda has packed/equipped this vehicle so well.

[@papajoshivlogs1816]

I think it’s ridiculous how every KZbinr is being paid to put same tag line and comparing one of the most legend c segment sedan with a newbie. That key just made me laugh where city offers walk away keyless entry from base variant. Saliva doesn’t provide same leg room or headroom but width ? With price range going over Honda city. Obviously designing is good but Honda city has more subtle Kinda of approach to design and you will tend to fall for it cause it’s more classy. Now let’s talk about reliability the last time skoda launched the king aka kushaq it kept being towed due to its failure in engine seizure and all. I guess it’s ridiculous that every KZbinr is comparing it with the best sedan India has ever got with most reliable and trustable engine with transmission. And yes I own Honda city so sorry if my comment feels little bit more inclined towards Honda city but so does majority of urban India.

0:41 R.I.P the staircase pullers xD

[@samyaksiddhanta6145]

Correction at 1:39-1:40 . Slavia's wheelbase is 1mm longer than the Ciaz only,not City and Verna. Till date, the City and Verna lags behind in terms of wheelbase at 2600 mm where as the Ciaz offers 2650 mm.

[@rendezvous59]

Wheelbase doesn't necessarily mean bigger rear space. City has the best leg room in the segment. In fact, City & Verna have the exact same wheelbase, yet the backseat of Verna feels like you're sitting in a sub-4 metre car whereas City offers acres of space in the back.

[@samyaksiddhanta6145]

That's absolutely true. Although City offers better legroom now ,it does lack the interior width (although the figures are bigger than the Ciaz) in terms of seating 3 abreast. Ciaz imo offers the best of both worlds. As you rightly pointed,Verna is far away 😂.
