About the Reviewer

Bought this in sept 07. Been in love with it since. I own a Skoda Octavia as well but guys, octavia is the past and magnum is the future of diesels. Couldn't believe it till I actually drove it. FE was a major criteria for me and it gives me around 14-15 in the city only. On one highway trip i got around 19 with stable speeds around 120-140. I thought that it would be better than the Octi but it exceeded all my expectations. Interiors are superb with high quality finish and the exteriors are just awesome. I own a black magnum and in the night with the OVRM's switched on - it looks AWESOME.

Saying anything about the would not suffice, one has to drive it to believe it. BTW superb power and more than enough torque on offer.Seems blazingly fast and furious than my octi and it has seriously changed the way i looked at diesels.
Just have a look at the gear ratios (maximum that my guts could handle) in kmph
1st - 45
2nd - 90
3rd - 130
4rth - 170
5th - 200
Interiors are all bieze and feels very warm and comfy - much better than my octi's (its interiors feel plain boring). I simply love this car and I am soon planning to sell my Skoda Octavia.

cheers
Gem of an engine, impressive FE, VFM, b'ful n rich interiors and exteriors, amazing ride qualitynone
