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 :)

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 !!!!

finally a good indian presenter well done

I bought this car motivated by this video exactly 9 years ago , the car still works so well and it’s exactly how i bought it till now. Car is amazing and the review even better . Thank you power drift

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.

Today 5 years is passed .i watch this video many times.presenter is awesome.

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.

PD reviews are better than Autocar is what I've found

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,

Watched powerdrift's first drive video on 2021 octavia that reminded me of this the best review video on youtube

When are you guys going to review the updated vw Jetta?

superb review boss....need frequent review videos...keep calm and ride on...

That was an AWESOME video!! The host was dope!!! That was way better than the other channels

just rewatched will rewatch again You guys are the best

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.

A good way to start the morning. A powerdrift video is like breakfast served in bed. :)

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 :)

One of the best review by PD ! Jus love watching this !

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.

Everything is almost here. Just one request. Lower the background sound when the host is talking. Also make it just a little bit more about the car. I mean, I like to see the car from the various angles you show, but somewhere the focus shifts more towards presenting the car than dissecting it for us generic people to make a decision. Trust me, you guys are really good. Sound issue and more of the car and less of "presentation only" that I ask for. Best of luck you guys. We were too bored with the autocar n ODs. You guys are inducing freshness here.

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.

Thanks so much comrade, glad you enjoyed it. :) Do remember to share it ahead as well.

It is so perfectly designd that no updation, no improvement could have justified. Perhaps thats why no major changes have been done to its design and quality.

In a nutshell :- Presentation, brilliant as usual. Content, Not that exhaustive. Iam expecting the content also to match upto the presentation.

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.

This is what we want. A proper video review first then the car review. Great work, Way to go PowerDrift!

Octavia will be a winner if you have no plans to get it serviced at all :) Once you bring "after sales" aspect, skoda will strip your flesh out and eat you alive. You end up seeing your car getting degraded with every service.

Power drift, you guys are amazing. The camera, story, editing, script and anchoring, everything is best.

Just one question...Where do you get the background music from?

Who was your English teacher, Ten Hut? You made him/her proud. :-)

My favourite review from your list,might have watched it 30+ times

Hello PowerDrift, Is Octavia still worth in 2016 ? i heard they discontinued the 1.8T engine. Please help !

good work.. honest review..!! guys we need more comparison tests from you.. can we expect some?

Loved the review. There was just too much background music at the beginning, i could hardly hear you.

Excellent review,do u guys have any idea wens the Octavia vrs diesel coming?

Ten Hut...I should say that your words of Gladiator and Russell Crowe just made the better car more better than any other car...the car is fabulous that I fall in love with it the moment I saw on road...thanks for the review guys and I would suggest this car to all fellow drivers if they want to get into a D segment car...

I would love to see a comparo with vw and Hyundai ? Is that possible guys?

Had s skoda rapid, can not help but choosing octavia when it comes to upgrade, Yes the Service is not the best, but you have to hardly visit there

He pronounces Škoda perfectly like a Czech but Octavia like an Englishman. This car would be perfect if it weren't for the excessive road noise /vibration.

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 ! : )

Good review and very well edited even with the overdone music and effects, but his constant mispronunciations we're annoying, ie; "Cabin", 'Gladiator", "Rapide", "Comfort", "Infamous", etc
