Going to be pitched in a segment above the Laura, that's going to be very pricey (for me)...

But considering the car has more space than an E-Class (that's something) plus upto 8 airbags and all gizmos that can be loaded on 4 wheels, maybe the price will be worth the vehicle.

What makes the entire equation tilt and the investment on the depreciating asset risky, is Skoda's after sales service.. Poor experiences still surfacing across India..

But you have the experience of maintaining a Fabia , so should not be a issue.
You very well know how to maintain the car , so in all probability the car will age slower than the Fabia Laughing

Aesthetic maintenance is different from mechanical maintenance. For the latter, I'm no guru.. Skoda A.S.S is still suspect and not 100% trouble free. Until that day comes, investing huge amount of money on a (good) skoda car will not be my natural preference or immediate reaction..

I'm still looking forward to the refreshed Yeti though. Heart and mind and all that........ Very Happy
