Steptronic Supercharged March 16, 2019 Share March 16, 2019 Are you talking about Peter Schreyer? He worked for all VW and other VW owned brands all his life except Porsche. Still he managed to make a connection Kia's chief designer is very famous... Maybe Porsche designer trying to learn from Kia? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveller26 1st Gear March 16, 2019 Share March 16, 2019 I test drove the 2.0 Stinger 2 weeks ago. The quality of interior is very close, if not better than most entry level conti, The drive wise, it was nice mature drive, no silly loud noise, and I can feel grown up feel instead of a boy racer adrenaline rush. There is power available if u want it. I'm driving a 2.0 Skoda Octavia VRS, comparing the 2, the power and shifting of the stinger is not as fast and raw, but i think it is acceptable on the stinger. The price is currently at $162999. Puts me off abit, i'll just wait and see if the price goes down haha, it is definitely worth the money, if u can look beyond the brand, and drive the care for 7 years. Cos some people will still compare its value to the traditional merc, bmw and audi where OMV and ARF are sometimes higher. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If really 163k then can strike it off. Maybe you should go back to a new Octavia vrs. Which is 30k cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is 30k cheaper. The VRS is a fun car, driving a combi is very practical for me. I have the boot space to lug things around as well. The interior of the VW family is quite dated. I doubt Skoda will launch new interiors anytime soon though I saw a few concepts in the recent European motorshows. Ya $162999 is too much. So just wait and see. No hurry to get one.
