Alux.com make a video on Amber heard
Alux.com This is one brand that americans cant pronounce it technically škoda
Alux.com Yes, Somewhat have. Fact is their reputation is of one of those manufacturers that can deliver one of the most reliable cars at a very competitive pricing. That's why they've been a "Numero Uno" choice of taxi operators in Europe. That's the only stigma they've been carrying around for being better.
That women and her horrible American voice !! Just insults your ears :(
I am sorry but it hurt me when you can not pronounce ir.😥
Speaking as a retired auto mechanic, car enthusiast, and proud American I'd like to say Skoda has some of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.
Skoda and Volvo in my opinion have had the best facelifts in my opinion too
also in terms of mechanics?
i like designs of skoda cars, its design is classic simple and looks luxuries type but dont know why it not poular in india
@@shraddhasuthar2547 people actually love Skoda in India. It's just they are more premium and more costly to own brands. That's why. They are doing great now tho the Slavia is a great model
Skoda is one of the most underrated car companies. It’s engineering and computer management are perfect
Yousef Deeb my last skoda superb had a loooot of gear and engine problems... no more skoda
bdbd a is it 2015 and up?
Yousef Deeb no. it was a new 2011
Skoda doesn't exist it's now VW: the cheap edition
i think its overrated, produces cars that can go up to 5 years? wow its that all they can achieve?
I said in the late 70s early 80s "I'd never ever by a Škoda". I also said, "mind you, I think one they could be one of the best cars on the road one day". Then just over a year ago I saw this great looking car pull into our car park at work. I thought it was a BMW. I had to walk up to it to get a better look. To say I stood back in in amazement when I saw the badge is an understatement. I'm now the very proud owner of a Superb estate. The best car I've ever owned.
kaybee5150 my mother used to own one back in the day and I always thought it was boring until I saw newer Skodas in the road and that’s when I decided. Now I drive a Skoda Fabia mk4
I've owned four Skodas since 2001. My first Fabia - a Mk1 1.9 Tdi - was probably one of the best (and quickest!) cars I've ever owned. I went on to own a further 3 Skodas - 1 further Fabia plus two Octavia's, a Mk1 and a Mk2. My second Octavia, a 2.0 Tdi Elegance Estate was a really great long distance car. I wanted another Skoda at my last change, but I couldn't find an auto in a colour or spec I liked. I now need an auto because of health issues, and ended up with a Golf Mk 7 Match auto. Good car, but it isn't really any better than a Skoda, despite costing more......... I am firmly of the view that Skoda now produce cars which are as good - if not better - as any others at the same price point. The new (latest version) Octavia could readily take on the 3 Series BMW for fit and finish. And I'd find it hard to see a potential EV buyer still going for a Kia eNiro once they had seen a Skoda Enyaq......... the Kia looks positively bland against the Skoda. It is good to see Skoda offering cars which are visually appealing, practical, and have the flair to go with it. And as many customer satisfaction surveys have verified in the last almost 20 years, Skoda consistently attain higher ratings than do VW, Audi and Seat........
Lmfao theres a 0 percent chance that a vw with a different badge and body can ever be one of the best cars on the road. A toyota camry eould fit the spot of one of the best cars on the road
I'm a simple Czech i see Škoda i press like.
"Too bad" or "Damage" is a perfect name for producer of heavy guns i think...
😊
...and this...my darlings...is pure czech humor
Škoda - Shkoda .
TheTurboWarrior343 It is wrong...
TheTurboWarrior343 That's not the point.
TheTurboWarrior343 The point is spelling the name correctly.
TheTurboWarrior343 Me neither and I know.
Yes š=sh like SHop or SHoes
I own a Škoda, so for me, it's one of the best car brand out there. And I dont know why is Škoda such an underrated brand. Everything they offer is of top quality.
Skoda have had more class wins in rallying than any other manufacturer.
I never knew Skoda was that old
It´s supposed to be pronounced more like "Shkoda" - that´s what the Š does on it
ARE YOU SERIOUS LOL? SOUNDS SO THIS GENERATION
Yes I speak Czech (and Slovak also uses that Sign) and that is the proper way..
Also some of the names were pretty off, but that's normal :)
Digr3all It's hard when you don't have the accent.
"Vaklav" fu&*ing WHAT? HRUZA
Škoda are my favourite brand of all time, I’m a dedicated enthusiast!!.
Agree 100%
Actually as far as I know, Americans really wanted Škoda to start selling there too, and some 500 models were sold in seconds, but in the end Škoda decided they didn't have the production capability to supply both Europe and the US. There was a plan to export 25000 Škodas, but only the mentioned 500 made it. Forever loving Škoda and the Czechs overall (Pilsner is the best beer in the world) from Hungary! :D
As a Czech, i'm really glad to see this video. Next you can make "15 Things You didn't know About Czech Republic" :)
I always cringe when they say skoda not škoda
Václav was worse...
Nejlepší pocit vidět jak je nějaký video o česku v angličtině 😀
Až na to, že spousta věcí je půlka napůl nebo není pravda skoro vůbec je video fajn 😃
zdareeeeccc
I drive a 14 year old Octavia it has never let me down, it is by far the most reliable car I have ever brought.
FYI: It's pronounced Shkoda, and the capital Š doesn't change the meaning at all. It's both 'Damage' and 'Too bad', regardless of the capital letter.
Also Václav isn't pronounced as 'Vaklav', but more like 'Vatslav'
Octavia I ALH motor has no death. After 11 years and 300.000 km, still runs great!
Yes, this 1.9tdi supercharged diesel engine runs forever. There are several reported cars that ran more than 1.25 mil. km. Very sturdy and reliable engine.
just mine get wracked on the autobahn at 60.000 km..and to find out at the service that is a common problem at that engines..1.9 tdi 105 hp
Matěj Orság Matěji... Neni to kompresor, ale turbo
Škoda , simply clever
Škoda
Just got my new Skoda Octavia yesterday after a 10-week wait, absolutely delighted beautifully built and the engine is surprisingly powerful.
Proud owner of an Octavia A7 :)
Why don't you do a little research before you try to pronounce czech names and words? I mean "Váklav" is hilarious (It's Václav and you can try say it as Vátslav) and also Škoda = Shkoda and more than "too bad" it means "pity".
look, i personally think skodas are probably the most underrated car maker. people in the comments saying they're shit, without ever owning one. I own a 2007 skoda octavia 1.9tdi manual and my wife owns a 2010 skoda octavia 1.6tdi 7 gear DSG automatic. they are both absolutely bulletproof and never let me down. fuel consumption is hilarious, the 2010 consumes about 6 l / 100km (40mpg), while the 2007 consumes 4.5 l/100km (51mpg). very well built and engineered cars. the only slight problem in them is the comfort, theyre not bad, but comfort could be better ( to be expected from VW). Here's my thoughts about Skodas. I hope I helped anyone that is looking to buy a skoda... cheers

The power skoda produces can never match with anything on the same segments. 🚀
I still own my 23 years old Škoda Felicia 1.3 MPi. :) And next car will be Skoda again.
I dare to say that Skoda Superb in Laurin & Klement trim is far better than VW Passat (on which is based).
More room, more color, softer suspension, the "simply clever" stuff...
I saw my first Skoda in Brussels back in 09. I was amazed by it's beautiful styling. They have only gotten better. I can understand why VW wouldn't want to import them to North America. They would be very competitive.
My family has 7th Octavia going, no promblems. Basically same car as VW Golf, Audi A3 and Seat Leon, just better
I don't like cars, but when I see Škoda, I want to hug this pretty car.
I have a Skoda Fabia Estate on a 02 plate 1.9 turbo diesel remapped now on golf wheels It is best car I have ever owned .It goes like a mad thing I hope I can keep it for many years .I am 75 and I love my skoda everything is good about it
On my third octavia just amazing car's never had any trouble with them looking forward to getting my 4th go skoda.
The Superb, Kodiak and Octavio are excellent cars
Octavia and Kodiaq
Horace Lim Just bought an octavia 😋
SCODA in INDIA
Producing good vehicles.
I am going to purchase RAPID in this week.
I already used Fiat, Ambassador, Maruti, TATA, Chevrolet, Ford.
But keen to have one VW group vehicle.
This is a addition car.
Now I am interested to buy Skoda RAPID.
I hope Skoda will give service support in feature.
Gulshan Arora you are a rich man
Proud owner of a 2018 Octavia Rs, 2019 superb sportline, a 2019 Kodiaq sportline and a 2018 Kodiaq sportline. Never been soooo happy with the cars i own. They need a Ute and they will be the perfect brand
@5:39 That is Fabian Cancellara (Swiss), not Sir Bradley Wiggins, in 2016 at his golden farewell race on the "Kuipke" Track Velodrome in Belgium...Oh and Sir Bradley Wiggins was invited at this party as well. Bradley rode for SKY and therefore on a Pinarello most of his (road cycling) career. After his career Skoda UK launched a new campaign featuring Sir Bradley Wiggins from 2017-2019.
I had a GL in the 1990s in Canada.
It was a great car in the summer, but stupid things made it hard to couldn't handle in the winter, such as doors frozen shut (not just lock, the whole door) and a thoroughly inadequate heating system and rear window demister (they didn't even bother to call it a heater).
But, it handled great, returned very good mileage and was much more comfortable than either of my later VolksWagens.
8:32 but Skoda still uses monte Carlo's name for its top of the line variants in India
I own a 2001 Skoda Fabia. Although its engine is not that much powerful as it has 68 hp, I can confidently say that it stands out among the B segment cars. It's tough, solid and gives u a good feeling of safety. Great road handling, no rusty parts of hood considering its age, even looking like brand new when properly washed :).
I own Skoda Superb and I would say it's one of the best ,well build car.
just asking is the car reliable for daily use?
@@ShelbyGT500- As a owner of 2008 Škoda Superb II I can confirm car's reliability for daily use, although you might wanna make your research of vehicle history (especially service history, if you're not buying brand new car - oil changes intervals, etc.). As far as engine goes; in newest Superb model 3 I could recommend diesel engines, especially those from with more power - preferably the ones which do not use AdBlue. From gasoline engines, 1.4 TSI seems to be good choice as well. If you're looking for Superb II (early models without facelift), I can recommend 1.9 TDI engines (coded BXE / BXL) - ideally if you can find early 2008/9 models without DPF filtration (managed to buy this one; as far as engine go, there is really nothing to complain about). But ultimately, your engine choice depends on how much kilometers you would usually travel per day; for shorter routes (up to 20-25 km / day) I would look for gasoline engine (mentioned 1.4 TSI engine), for higher distances the diesel is nice to have. Hopefully this will answer some of your concerns.
@@HaRD851 oh thanks and yes i think i might be going for a v6 diesel that makes 260 hp as it is a bit expensive but a relatively good price for the performance and doesn't need a lot of money to run
@@ShelbyGT500- Diesel engines are in general quite the power horses in Škoda cars; if well maintained and cared for, they will serve reliably for long time. So if you're asking me, I'd say that you picked well. Just for the safe side of things, try to learn engine code number a do some googling on it for users experiences - Škoda forums are very usefull sources of invaluable informations.
Interesting stuff. Never knew what "Skoda" meant....kind of like naming a motorcycle company "Widow's Choice" or something.
I have a dream of owning a SKODA OCTAVIA.
Chirag Patil it's shit
+triple nine & I love "AMAZING SHIT".
Ha ha shit...first own then call it....its an amazing drivers car with built like a tank quality..
Go ahead Chirag I too own Skoda new Octavia is awesome !
nah, new Škoda cars arent good quality, it was good maybe to second generation and then it went to shits :( as former fanboy it makes me cry :'(
No doubt Skoda is a respectable brand. They produce high quality vehicles, similar to VW and Audi vehicles. A smart choice. The new Superb is very beautiful and luxury vehicle. It's a pity they don't sell in the USA.
I agree. Just ironic thing is that "pity" is one of the English translations of "Škoda" :)
I didn't know Americans can't enjoy the luxury of a Skoda. That must be very painful :/
they also dpn't get renault, citroën and FIAT
Wow, as an European I didn't know these car brands are unavailable on the American market. But in the same time we Europeans don't have the typical American brands such as Dodge (as far as I know).
Skoda is far from luxurious 😂
it was meant as in their class
Mazder_ We do have Fiat.
But škoda is pronounced with SH.
16th thing you don't know it's Škoda (Shkoda) :)
Tell me about
SKODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I 💚 SKODA
I can deliberately say there is no other car in this world,which is such underrated,but has enormous reliability as well as good performance,and which comes a step ahead reliable than toyotas also. I will definitely place Toyotas & Skodas as the most reliable. Skoda! We Indians love you & welcome you.
Love my Octavia, best car I have ever owned.
Consistently near the top for customer satisfaction and reliability
Vaklav klement ahahah :D:D
Yes, and I do think it's time that Skoda is to consider bringing their Market to the United States. After viewing your video, it looks like Skoda has overcome their obstacles and they deserve their place in the American Automotive market, at least do a selected sampling of a couple of the major cities and see how their sales go. If the Sample Sales goes well, then they could expand to other cities.
You could always import one, I guess. For spares parts go to vw.
VW won't let Skoda and its stylish Spanish cousin Seat into North America for fear of loosing VW brand sales. Apart from bodywork & trim, other parts eg mechanical & electrical are shared with VW & Audi models. So servicing is no problem. Meanwhile Japan & Korea have the lower priced market to themselves.
Thankfully with the freedom of the internet our American cousins can access info on these cars and many like what they see. I have had mine for over 2 years now and friends are pleasantly surprised when they ride in it.
We already have VW, Skoda are more or less just cheaper rebadged VWs. Chrysler does the same thing with Dodge.
All good then ! Don't my American cousins deserve the choice ?
Adam Smith its not really rebadged, skodas dont look anything similiar to vw
My grandpa owns a skoda octavia (2005 model).When he got it,it had 725.000 kilometers,now it has 1.000.000 and still going
Thank you for doing this video
Very informative video 👌
Proud owner of SKODA RAPID RIDER PLUS
BEAST IN HIGHWAY 👍👍👍👍
Monte Carlo is being used in India still... Got a rapid recently... Totally in love with the performance... I drive with a grin on my face😁
I've owned or leased a Skoda since 2003. Always been totally reliable (something unknown to my previous makes) and compared with their sister brands in the Volkswagen group less expensive.
I would love for Skoda to import to the USA, but I read that Volkswagen won't do it because they are afraid it will hurt the sales of their Passat.
I love skoda. I have superb 2, diesel cr 170 hp. Beutiful durable car.
I own skoda octavia 2022.. Really amazing car.. the quality is luxurious.
I own a skoda ........I am proud
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😚😚😚😚
I own a Skoda I love skoda my next car also will be Skoda only !!
Rajagopalan Moolayil Palakkad which car bro raipd r octivia
I also see Skoda trains in the states
truth seeker Skoda producing trains is not the same company as the one producing cars anymore...
My first ever car is a 2005 Skoda Octavia, and I love it. I would be stupid to go for another brand, or even to get rid of it, since it was bought my father 13 years ago and has been with us since than. We never had a problem with it during those 13 years!!! :D
Yes Skoda has successfully retained there position in internation market bcoz of there unique designs & powerful engines. Thank you ALUX for making this video. Next video of Lincoln please.
by the powerful engines you mean the 1.0l TSI or the 1.2 MPI engine?
Future billionaires binge watching UA-cam😑
Yeyy, finally a word about my CAR :), Thanks Alux, I have been a proud owner of Fabia from 7 years now, every drive feels like first one. 🎉
Bring Shkoda to the U.S. of A. !!! We want it!!
Hey when a video on stock market coming
awesome keep it up
Wonder what would happen if Volkswagen sold Skoda. Not sure if Volkswagen buying it was good for the company.
Skoda is an great cars
03:36 That's how Skoda named it's new sedan in India 🇮🇳
Ah yes, Škoda, iné of the most luxurious brands in the world
Old Superb was so beautiful
Skoda best & safety
It’s underrated- is the 16th fact
The best VW is Škoda.
I think to they've maintained pretty well.
Hey Aluxiers how about a video on Gaddafi and his green book.
I love our Skoda Rapid, planning to buy Superb.
Super thanks for this video
But Skoda is a not a mid level people a
I love Skoda but service cost is high.. Am a mid level one
Sold a Mercedes’ E class to buy a Superb. Best move ever!
Will will you guys do Dior I work for the brand and the history would be amazing
9th point is not completely corrert, there is no difference in writing the name with capital or lower case S. The word has the same meaning all the time. It can have many meanings but the most common one is 1) sad complaint "too bad" in a context on an unfortunate event/loss . 2) damage in a context of theft, disaster, collision and similar events. Whether the S is a lower case or capital makes no difference.
The C in name Vaclav is not pronounced as K but as a C. The letter Š in Škoda have accent and its pronounced as sh, correct pronunciation is Shkoda.
Indians love the Skoda Kodiaq so much that the facelift was sold very quickly
Can i buy this car in canada?
Skoda Superb is 😍
its name means also pity in czech
.I also using a Skoda Octavia l&k2004 model.I like very much Skoda .
I wanted to have this brand in the USA soo I can buy one in here
Skoda is also sold in Jamaica but is not very popular.
I too own a skoda car that is rapid n I'm too proud to have it n simply its d best one which I had evr....Skoda.. Rapid...
Can you do a video on koch industry.
It's sad they don't sell them here. Skoda has some nice looking cars.
Just to let you know, Im czech and youve got some things wrong... The first is the name, it doesnt mean too bad, there isnt exact translate for this word, the second is with vw, škoda is a very good car company and they would succes in US, but VW is worried, that Škoda would take their clients.
And I happen to happily own two of their engineering premier, Škoda Octavia and Superb. They're definitely opposite of Czech translation of the name!
I have a skoda fabia a good reliable car
Built like a tank.Skoda
Hey do you know that the 90's felicia is a living legend of czech rep.
Actually, the meaning of the word does not change when written with Š or š. It still means the same. Where did you get such information?
