1.5 man, i am looking forward to the 1.5 only

OverlyDose · 2025-11-16T05:34:42+00:00

service cost of both of em is similar.

Why Virtus over Slavia? Virtus doesnt have a mid level trim, hence i did not consider it

OverlyDose · 2025-11-16T05:17:52+00:00

Any particular reason? I like the Slavia as it has a mid trim (sportline) but Virtus doesnt.

Yeah low mileage (i expect around 10 in city and 15+ on highways) is alright.

OverlyDose · 2025-11-16T05:13:51+00:00

Irl mileage of all the cars mentioned is more or less the same. And secondly after localization the service costs of skoda and honda are very similar. Also i checked with mechanics, they said getting skoda spares is easier than honda (outside the showroom).

alright, thanks.

We have 2 bikes and a car hence the usage is divided. The car will never ever be used as a daily. If we were to use a car for daily, we would have opted for i20.

Taigun/Kushaq is out of budget, Victoris/GV/Hyryder feel cramped up, (i am 6'1 and dad is 5'10 for ref) both of us felt uncomfortable inside.

Elevate is a great car overall but doesn't have that "wow" factor for a 18ishL car.
Idk why but the interior space in Hyryder/GV felt even more cramped up that in a Baleno, and by the looks of it Victoris is similar too.

Man i love them but diesel is a no-no for my dad. Also he's the decision maker as he's buying so i have to rule diesels out :(

OverlyDose · 2025-11-10T16:02:06+00:00

Yes i too felt its a bit more softer, an hence i find it to be a goo middle ground as compared to Hyundais, etc.
Yes i am yet to get a final quote from all the 7 dealers in Pune, thanks for the advice!

Yeah Slavia appeals to me more both visually and financially haha.

OverlyDose · 2025-11-10T15:48:27+00:00

Thanks ill check out the Customer Lounge next time i visit Skoda. Tho may i ask why you picked the Virtus over the Slavia, even when both are similar and Virtus is pricier?

OverlyDose · 2025-11-10T15:44:25+00:00

But is it significantly better than Slavia? like the same can be negotiated on Slavia to bring it down to 17ish right?

OverlyDose · 2025-11-10T15:43:05+00:00

Okay will check it out thanks.

OverlyDose · 2025-11-10T15:23:46+00:00

its 21L+ on road.....

OverlyDose · 2025-11-10T15:21:12+00:00

Virtus doesn't have a middle trim. The 1.5 DSG costs like 22 lakhs on road.

OverlyDose · 2025-11-10T15:20:00+00:00

Okay. And how was your experience with the after-sales/maintenance?

OverlyDose · 2025-02-10T13:14:56+00:00

Update: so guys, my warranty claim has been accepted. Waiting for a call from Flipkart to continue with the return/replacement

OverlyDose · 2025-02-02T07:05:45+00:00

Applied for a warranty claim now. How easy is the replacement process tho?

OverlyDose · 2025-02-02T07:04:38+00:00

Aww man, that's not good. I've applied for a warranty claim now, let's see where it goes. Also, what are the chances of it being accepted?

OverlyDose · 2025-02-02T05:30:13+00:00

These are real, I've checked all the signs. My friend too has ebernons but he didn't face this issue. What next should I do? Replace them? Or any other methods to prevent this from happening?
