    Forget the price... Mitsubishi evo X used to cost 49.9 lakhs ex showroom back in the day when it was launched...!! Now with this interior if Skoda is asking 46 lakhs on road I think price is justified...
    Also in the age of hybrid/electric cars what we will get going forward a few years down the line do you think we petrol head would get such cars ..?? Now that's a big question...

    I bought this car around 6 months back in Sydney. Over here, car came with 19 inch wheels. Overall, I love this car. It's quick , very practical and appealing. However, vrs 245 costs around $20,000 less than a BMW 3 series. If I was in India, I would rather buy a BMW than Octavia 245. Also, it sucks to drive a fwd on wet roads.

    It's DQ381
    And 381 doesn't stand for the amount of torque it can handle. It's just a code number.
    If that was the case RS 230 came with DQ 250, but still RS 230's torque was 350nm
