Golf7roy 4th Gear April 15, 2019 Share April 15, 2019 think there was a review that the Kodiaq VRS was either not here not there or not VRSed enough to make it unique. hope skoda does not dilute vrs status. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ody_2004 Turbocharged April 15, 2019 Share April 15, 2019 I wonder if the long process of mock-up of the car can be faster and better had from using a rendering software before proceeding into an actual mockup. try calling stockist like Xin Chong and Kian Hua to see if they have this part number and the cost. XinZhong was kind enough to reply my email 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged April 15, 2019 Share April 15, 2019 (edited) Here is my quick review for the RS245. 1) Family with kids? No problem, the cabin is quiet. Even in Normal mode the engine and exhaust are not intrusive. 2) The suspension is firm but not rock hard stiff. Some body roll but very manageable. Your family will not throw up 3) Someone mentioned no launch Control, there is. Switch off Traction Control, Change to Sport Mode, Press the brake, rev abit and hold to activate launch control. 4) Alot of wheelspin, maybe tyres not fully run in, also due to FWD. 5) The Start-stop function is not intrusive unlike Japanese cars, but rarely activated unless in Eco mode. Stop will off A/C compressor too 6) Stock speaker as not too bad, but some vibration heard and mediocre bass. 7) The steering controls are limited and can't control all features in the HU, you can't even make a call unless you use voice command. 8) Mirror doesn't move down in reverse, even after I enabled the setting. Anyone having this issue? That's all for now. Will post I thoughts and a comparision with Forester XT soon. Edited April 15, 2019 by Pocus 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sdf4786k Twincharged April 15, 2019 Share April 15, 2019 think there was a review that the Kodiaq VRS was either not here not there or not VRSed enough to make it unique. hope skoda does not dilute vrs status. I believe not here ( Singapore market not big enough and with the LTA taking the longest time to approve ) and not there ( diesel and market got killed with the taxation ) was the reason.

Will post I thoughts and a comparision with Forester XT soon. 2) The body roll is needed to remind you this is a sedan with a powerful engine, not a sports car. 4) It will not go away, I am at nearly 15K with the stock tyres, and I can still wheelspin at the lights if I want to whoop some ass. 6) Try sport mode, and hear the fake engine noise reverberate within the cabin, its irritating and so fake, I switched to individual mode, and put the sound to eco. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Pt 2, u can add lowering springs from eibac For Pt 3, yes, 1.4 guys dont have Launch control For Pt 4, depends on the tires that you have. Try a more sticky tire or do 235 instead when you replaced For PT 5, it also gives an indication of the battery life. But if you switch the aircon to 22C I believe it will not trigger the start stop For Pt 6, I thot comes with canton ? For Pt 8 did u flip it to L ?
