[Salomon]

wah the new octy look damn nice in flesh, 6 speed auto 4 cupholders, esp but skoda name it as asr. but no glovebox no rear aircon...

[Viperphoenix]

u managed to test drive?

[Carcraze]

sorry ah...are u refering to the Octavia or is Octy another model?

if it's the octavia, any idea what took it so long to arrive here? Malaysia had it some time back right?

[Silver_blade]

It's Octavia. I was looking to buy it a couple years ago, but CA didn't bring it in.

[Lightspeed]

No glovebox? You gotta be kidding?!

[Carcraze]

ic, any idea why it took so long? and did CA manage to sell off all their old stock of the older Octavia? the new octavia has a variant with the 2.0FSI unit, will that make it here?

Graphite grey I think. Looks nice...

Met a Skoda Octy owner (a very nice gentleman, older than me, all white hair) today on our way to Autobacs, when we stopped at Caltex near Bt Batok. He drives a pale blue Octy (new car, 6 months old). He also owns a Fabia and Seat. He asked me about the Skoda forum and I told him to visit this URL. Hopefully he joins us here soon.

 

He claimed that out of all the Octy MPI models CA is bringing in, there will be a "few" MANUAL Octavia II with FSI engines! This came from his mouth. So any bro can confirm?

Hi bro,

 

The basic Octavia II comes with a glovebox. In our local versions, the glovebox has an air-con outlet too. Good if you are storing cooled canned drinks in it.

 

ASR and ESP are different technologies from VAG. Here are some quotes which I have gathered online:

 

ASR
