MORE POWER BABY!

SgCarMart is back with yet another video review, and boy do we have something special for all you motorheads today. If you're looking for maximum horsepower, but are still shopping within a reasonable budget (because you know, real life and stuff) look no further than the Skoda Octavia RS 245!

As you'd expect, a performance saloon has to be practical, and the Skoda delivers practicality by the buckets (as all Skodas do of course) with its liftback tailgate.

But will James fit inside the boot?

Hell yes! And even from here I can hear James asking me to paint him like one of my French girls.

Oh no! His face looks glum. Does voice recognition work in the Skoda? You'll just have to watch the video to find out!

And of course we take the car out for a good spin!

Is 241bhp enough to deliver thrilling performance in this sedan? The faces of our three musketeers seem to suggest so!

I leave all of you with a final incentive to watch the video.

Damm, you know that sensation when you just stand on the accelerator?

Would have been a perfect and value-for-money tarmac burner had it come in the 6 speed wet clutch, instead of the 7 speed DSG.

Don't get confused.

This 7 speed DSG is the same wet clutch used by the Golf R. NOT THE 7 speed dry DSG typically mated to the 1.4TSI engines.

Max safe torque it can handle is 420nm, more than enough for the 370nm engine.

 

But I agree with the reviewer.....those damn cup holders!!

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
