Great thanks for sharing pro and cons on Skoda Slavia.
Hi, I have been waiting for almost a year now to buy a new car and wanted to buy the best in segment (mid-sized sedan). I have been following the news on Slavia ever since there were speculations of a mid-sized sedan to be released by Skoda. After the official announcement, I was even more excited and the unveil and initial reviews are impressive. However, will it be worth to go ahead with a new generation model immediately or should I be waiting more? (Honestly I’ve waited quite long and want get my hands on to this beauty)
I was looking out for any cons you’d have noticed in this car that’d help me decide if I should go ahead or not.. Thanks!
Skoda Slavia is the best car. I am using Ambition AT. Its good and there is no problem. You can go ahead with Skoda.
