Old and new Slavia owners what is your real-world review ? Let's talk about the base models !

Hey everyone! Since we are just getting this community off the ground, I wanted to kick off a real discussion that would help out beginners like me.

As I mentioned in my intro, I am currently looking to buy my first car, and I am heavily leaning towards a manual Skoda Slavia. However, my budget keeps pointing me toward the base models (currently the 1.0L Classic, though I know some of you might have the older Active trims).

On paper, it looks like a great deal for under ₹12 Lakh—you still get the German engineering, that amazing 1.0 TSI engine, and the core driving dynamics without paying ₹3-4 Lakh extra for the top-end features.
