Watching this in 2020 - Planning to buy this as a used car - it has almost ALL the features of today's car.
Thank you Power Drift for your amazing videos.
I'm also planning to buy this car used. Thanks to skoda stone like depreciation😂
How much should be the price for 2013 2 lts TDI automatic?
@@FarazKhan-kx8mr depends on running and conditions - will be around 8 to 12 lacs
I’m looking for 1.4tsi manual.. any thoughts on that?
Anyone still watching this review after 3 years of launch like me !
ps - Watching this review nth time ! Suchha wonderful car and such an awesome presentation by Tenhut !
me thinking of buying it 2nd hand after 7 years.. lmaoo
I am watching after 7 years.
@@dheerajduppalli1453 +1 I'm looking forward to buy an used one after 8 years
i think i watched this for the 10th time....lol....love this video....the other day i was watching a review of Ciaz and the lady reviewing drove it in a straight line and decided it handles amazingly lol....and for some reason she claimed "The engine is excellent at cornering"....i dunno what the hell that means....i think it was someone from autocar....almost all the reviewers in India are really dumb....all they do is promote and talk about the exterior design and looks and steering mounted audio controls and bluetooth (those are nice to have) but no one ever talks about what really matters....the engine....the transmission....the suspension....the build quality...the reliability....the ride quality....the seating comfort....the boot....the handling etc etc......i'm thinking of upgrading from my 2008 Fabia (I love it btw....the build is excellent unlike the newer fabias and rapids)....and I have been longing for nothing but an Octavia....thanks for the video mate....really well done....thank you :)
Thanks a ton for those kind words for us Sree Vathsav Remella
We hope you enjoyed this enough to have subscribed to our channel! Waiting to see your comments on our newer videos as well! May we suggest a look here: czcams.com/video/2cH4fCAoVAc/video.html
I think you just "cornered her" by talking about her "engine cornering" ;) And yes i definitely agree with you on that !!! Power drift doesn't read out of some catalogue !!! They always put in a great effort ... in-turn coming up with a masterpiece of a video - answering to all the practical real life scenarios - And always making sure .... they do not BACK OUT on the humor and the other interesting bits on the surrounding environment - which make it even more interesting !!! Ho-ah !!!!
This is exactly what I needed on youtube.
I was just complaining about CNBC and NDTV doing ridiculous reviews
Subcribed
finally a good indian presenter well done
Still watching in 2021 just to make sure it's timeless piece of machine
That bit at the end is just so funny raising his arms speechless.
Awesome review and very entertaining.
kempouk Then do not forget to hit us up with a Like & a Share! :D
applause for the host !
he is just awsome :)
Ravi Raj And he appreciates it. :)
Superb style of reviewing!!...way better than NDTV & AUTOCAR INDIA
Avinash Sadhukha Thanks alot! Do check out our latest set of Reviews too ;)
Sure jst gng to subsribe..!!
I really love the reviews on PowerDrift, especially the camera work and the brilliant editing. It's as close as one has got to TopGear style movies in India, and I can bestow no higher praise than that.
Although, that being said, just a tiny suggestion - some of the words are pronounced a little different from how they should be. It's not much, but enough to be noticeable and if they could be ironed out, I think I'll have nothing more to complain about in an otherwise perfect review.
Take the word "Cabin" for example. It is pronounced rather like 'kae-bin', when in fact it should be 'cab-in'. These are rare instances but once corrected can truly make the reviews beyond compare. Keep up the brilliant work.
One of the best reviews i have seen of Skoda Octavia. Kudos to the powerdrift for making such a wonderful review. The music, presentation, editing was all top notch. When it comes to video reviews i dont think any other auto shows or video reviews can match you guys. You guys are a level above others.
Yous guys have a mental clarity and a creative heart. Its a great combination. You show us what needs to be watched and hack away the unessentilas.
Keep up the good work guys. Bless you
HATS OFF!!!!!!
that's all but i want that "CHECKLIST" thing again!!!!
AWESOME as always
One of the best review by PD ! Jus love watching this !
The best car review you can get. I must tell you that your camera/video person is x100 times better than other like autocar etc...
That was an AWESOME video!! The host was dope!!!
That was way better than the other channels
Watched powerdrift's first drive video on 2021 octavia that reminded me of this the best review video on youtube
just rewatched
will rewatch again
You guys are the best
One of the best car review shows I've seen coming out of our country. Reminded me of top gear but in your own indigenous unique way. Brilliant! Good job!
superb review boss....need frequent review videos...keep calm and ride on...
Today 5 years is passed .i watch this video many times.presenter is awesome.
good work.. honest review..!! guys we need more comparison tests from you.. can we expect some?
When are you guys going to review the updated vw Jetta?
If u could compare the back seat comfort and size with superb. Can you tell how much it differs. If you could give specifics would appreciate.
Awesome....
Very Good Review ....
Never seen such s good review if a car....
#PowerDrift why don't you get into car advertising....
you are doing great?
Love your style of reviewing.
Slowing down a bit,
Skoda Yeti Review Please.......!!!!!
I have no words to explain how good your reviews are, each and every time I see different concepts and styling, kudos !!
None of the channel are the near match for you guys. Simply superb !!!!!
Karthick A Rao Thank you Karthick! :)
your reviews are fantastic....they way u present it wowww...
Wonderful review.. I loved the music.. And the narration. It was kinda emotional. Keep it up..
Loved it !!! You guys are Awesome and just keep on getting more and more awesome after each review !! Keep up the good work guys :D
All your reviews are top class like this car !
Your diction is cool :)
So Excellent review ! awesome background music with clear audible specification about the CAR ! Thank you ! PowerDrift guy!
Just one question...Where do you get the background music from?
is the new octavia 1.8 tsi reliable for long term with its 7 speed dsg or should i go for the manual diesel ?
Great video , and AMAZING PRESENTATIONS . You guys should be way more popular .
Excellent review,do u guys have any idea wens the Octavia vrs diesel coming?
hey hai iam palnning to buy a new car and my options are skoda octavia and toyota fortuner im little bit confused regarding this maintainance of vehcile so can u temme which one is an better option for me
A good way to start the morning. A powerdrift video is like breakfast served in bed. :)
Power drift, you guys are amazing. The camera, story, editing, script and anchoring, everything is best.
Very good review, thank you very much.!
About the car, it is really an amazing machine, looks, performance, truly a legend. Slightly pricey, to match price, for sure catches every eye on road.
On negative side, not sure about rest of India, but bangalore skoda, after sales is a nightmare. A definite straight no to skoda till they improve on service. Some fake reviewers on internet are posting fake positive reviews but as a customer we know the reality. Everytime we give for service, our fabia petrol,
Thank you for the heads up. I own a Rapid and I must inquire if a similar fate has already dawned it self on us.
Excellent presentation and nice review. Kindly add more details to the reviews like gc, service costs, fuel efficiency etc. Keep up the good work, really appreciate your presentation skills.
Does it get navigation... Plz let me know.
Guys amazing review ! please tell me where do u get your music ?? pretty please ?? :D
i was watching this review again above 15+ times this review was very very interesting.Thanks for making a wonderful review:):):)
Thanks so much comrade, glad you enjoyed it. :) Do remember to share it ahead as well.
PD reviews are better than Autocar is what I've found
Absolutely
Awesome work.. really entertaining.. jst subscribed yesterday n watching all ur videos.. awesome is jst a small word for ur work..
Udit Jain Wow! You have a lot of videos to gouge on! Keep it going :)
This is what we want. A proper video review first then the car review. Great work, Way to go PowerDrift!
Awesome 1998dude We are glad you loved the video dude!
how i want to own this GladiaTHOR.amazing car and its review.. nailed it
That's it .. Grin .. Priceless.. A priceless grin, that's it. Keep up the good work.
Amazing review.. And the videos you guys making are improving day by day. Keep up with good work...
Amazing how you guys could make every video interesting ✌
Hey dude... Awesome review... Great style.... Highly impressive....Keep it up...Cheers
i had no idea we could make such great car videos. More than review I really liked your presentation....mesmerizing.. Great work by editor.
Mayank Shekhar Thank you so very much Mayank! Appreciate the love :D
Excellent review once again! You guys have a class of your own...
The only thing that will complement it even better would be - adding text to the video when talking about the specs of the car.
'n' yes the shot @ 5:13, you could have used better angles for that ;)
For crying out loud - the car was simply flying there! :D
Your review made me buy this car.. The anniversat addition with all the features that were missing such as keyless entry.. Engine start stop etc.. Well i don't have any problems with the after sale service..cuz Skoda have certainly improved it in the recent years.!
Thank you powerdrift :)
Glad to know we helped you in making an informed buying decision & yes Skoda has definitely been going North when we talk about after sales service. :)
I'm going for the 1.8 tsi, took a test drive of the car, and i have to say, its great!
And the DSG gearbox works wonders
hahah Utkarsh bro.. you're about to buy a beast just under 24 lakhs.. just be a little gentle on throttle :P :P that 1.8 TSI with 180 PS is insane.. and was the reason my dad bought me the 2.0 TDI :P :P
I hope the TDI is quick too.
bdw booked the 1.8 without any second thoughts, expecting the delivery in 12-15 days
can't wait to get behind the wheel
The TDI is quick but not as quick as the TSI eventually :) congo anyways:)
top notch, both the review and the car!
request: please do review for the new Superb, thanks in advance :)
Am glued I couldnt get a chance to test drive the TSI. Do Review it please, Thanks Great review. Your reaction is just the same I had when I first drove the TDI
Loved the End part where you run out of Words...
This car has me thinking of biting into this Segment..
Now... where did I keep my Bank Looting Shovel...
There is no better review than this on CZcams!
Okay then PD.. time for a reality check.. right now i own a skoda laura 1.8 Tsi which is known for its handling.. in ur review of the new octavia u guys talked about handling for approximately 8 seconds which is not enough.. im saying this bcoz i took a test drive of same exact model n it truly sucks in handling.. softer suspensions make the car roll while u go in n out during overtaking on indian road and also it does not feel as confident in high speeds as the older octavia or the laura did.. another huge problem i noticed was the laziness of the dsg system to downshift which was extremely irritating while overtaking.. now these were the 2 most important down sides of the car which u shud have talked about in ur review.. i dont give a shit about editing or the bgm (it was over shadowing ur voice though) but i do care about how the care handles and its power delivery.. so plz take a note of this for ur future reviews.. ty n good luck :)
i hv seen other reviews also of this same car on autocar india, odmag, but this is the best review so far, nicely done, well narrated... good job bro, n the anchor did a great job...
+sandhu Hope that has made you Subscribe to our channel :)
A lot more videos waiting for you!

No. Only available on the style plus variant

Beautiful Review. Big Thumbs up that is so tempting to like this Car. BGM is good too.
In a nutshell :- Presentation, brilliant as usual. Content, Not that exhaustive. Iam expecting the content also to match upto the presentation.

I've been researching cars to buy when I'm back in India & checked out a ton of review videos. This, however, has been the best. You guys' have impeccable presentation style & I thoroughly enjoyed your reviews. You've found a new loyal subscriber.
Jackie Thakkar Thanks a ton! We await more comments from you Comrade!
great review.
can you do a one to one comparo review for the new octavia vs the new jetta 2.0 tdi
Kick ass review of a great car ! I drive a fabia & I haven't a bad thing to say about skoda's after sales service at all btw ! : )
Your videos are so good... You guys should make movies !!! Thumbs up !!!
Haha. Great review, man. Much better than the slightly mechanical ones available online.
Awesome review+awesome car+awesome video=awesome work by powerdrift
Subscribed only and only bcoz of did guy .... Kudos to u man.. Keep up d good work...😃
punkpipebombb1994 Thanks a ton. That is Rohan, our lead man. Do check out our other videos as well. :)
You Guys have this really fresh approach to car reviews man...Keep It Up...I Mean If you check out the other "Indian car review Hosts fraternity as a whole, its either a fat nerd or an old women with really bad botox treated on her..But You guys are great, you have the male personality about cars right on the nail.....Really keep up the humor and the acting yet maintain the focus on the subject car....GREAT JOB.
No words to say the last reaction what you did was really nice..Great
Pls reduce the background music! its annoying. Love the way u shoot ur videos and review is fantastic
Will try next time
Guys from where & how the HELL do you pick and blend the music...??? Its awesome guys. This is the 4th time I'm seeing this review only for the background musics. I should mention about the visuals too. And ofcourse its a nice review.
LakshmiKanth BLACKWIND did you get the name of any track used in this epic video ??
Pls share
Review rapid, also do comparison with vento 2017 highline plus..
Epic review, outstanding work on the video. And great narration by Ten hut.
Even though i am a biker @ heart .. after the review am falling in love with this car... thats how artistic you have made the review !! :D :D
Kudos team ***** !!
I would love to see a comparo with vw and Hyundai ? Is that possible guys?
Loved the review.
There was just too much background music at the beginning, i could hardly hear you.
tht was an excellent review,u had created a hunger for auto enthusiasts to taste his car n offcourse own it too...great expressions at the end Mr.Tan
missed Mr.Charles here ....
It is fantastic car review!!! Only admiration. ..
Nice review. Greatly executed with simplicity. You guys are definitely upping the game for other's to how a review is done. While the car is clearly based on the VW Jetta which is an fantastic car. Skoda need to improve their notorious after sales service though.
Again nice work powerdrift team. Keep up. Keep improving.
That's it.
+1 for the way this video is made. Perfect execution!
On a separate note, would definitely love to see the Petrol variant, whenever you get a hold of one. :-)
Very good review But i felt need more Information about petrol versions and price too... Thanks for giving this
Truly one of the best cars and one of the best reviews.. It's mind blowing :-D
your reviewing style is really good! :-)
Brought mine in 2018,easily the best car we had in family,what an all rounder this gen was,looks good,very comfortable,superb performance from TSI,built indeed like a tank and so far i have zero complains from service and reliability,and out on the highways its an absolute crusier with mileage figures sometimes going as high as 21-22km/L,plan to keep it at least till 2028,what a gem of a machine this is,happy i didn't got lured by the features,and ended up in psuedo "SUV",a proper sedan indeed.
One heck of a review ***** ! Loved it :) BTW between 0:14-0.19 , is that the real TSI engine sound ?
naah.. i too was thinking that... that would be too much for a stock car.. :-P
by far i somehow found the way of reviewing this car amazing .. with all the background music... a lovely host ...nd many more .. !!! good work power drift way to go ..!!!!
Sachin Nick Heehehe! Thank you Sachin. We wouldn't mind you abusing the replay button. ;)
