Merkava Neutral Newbie March 30, 2013 Share March 30, 2013 Wah, now you know...hor. HHAHA...Skoda Superb I - my kids calls him "Skody" has served us well, but the last mile he was giving his best all the way. Now to the new ride, Turbo Diesel, 436NM TORQUE....super shiok! Enjoy your new ride then! Try the steep slope from Suntec entering ECP towards AYE, thats where your torque comes and leaving the rest behind....wooooo ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckduck Turbocharged March 30, 2013 Share March 30, 2013 btw is rav4 also 7 seater? rav4 5 seater. toyota 7 seater is fortuner, old model plus poorer FC due to 2.7l engine so higher road tax too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echelon 3rd Gear March 30, 2013 Author Share March 30, 2013 (edited) But ur superb has faster 0-100 right? How come such high bhp and phenomenal torque but 0-100 9.9s only? My Superb 0-100km in about 8.8 seconds after chip up, honestly can't tell the difference for me. In my driving experience, I don't do those 0-100km on Singapore roads, also I am an easy on the pedal person, have kids, family, but because the Superb is not as torque, take off time seems more enthusiasm is needed. So the massive torque makes it really easy to move off, especially on singapore roads, I guess whatever makes sense to the individual. There are SUVs out there with faster 0-100km sprint, but either beyond my budget or it did not fit my requirement. The new Land Rover Freelander 2 with 2.0T looks like a good option, with a faster century sprint, but spare parts and servicing was a concern for me plus lack of 7 seater, otherwise I would have considered it. But from what I heard about the maintenance cost, it may be better for those with deeper pockets. Hope that makes sense for my decision. Anyways Torque dose not equal to faster speeds.....gear ratios...etc. Edited March 31, 2013 by Echelon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost would depend on the brand, should be in the 250++ and above range. Edited March 31, 2013 by Echelon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
