Hamburger Hypersonic September 19, 2019 Share September 19, 2019 Is the current superb sold the FL version? Really pity the 2L scale down version was scrapped. The 1.8L spec don't look appealing to me. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.8L spec don't look appealing to me. Facelift Superb would not be in until Q2 / Q3 next year. Yes, 1.8L is underwhelming, especially after you have taste the 2.0L 220ps 350Nm version, which is now available only in L&K trim. BTW, the facelift Superb is a mixed bag, as it will come with a reduction in power and torque for the 2.0L version (190ps 320Nm), but with 7 speed wet clutch DSG instead of the current 6 speed wet clutch. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sportline in SG. Detune can retune if you really want to. If the person doesn't care about cars, he won't know the diff between 190hp or 250hp. Got badge and features can liao. That's how entry contis sell. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To service your car at what interval is your own choice. Can do at 5k, 15k or even 50k interval. Happy can liao.. Funny sia! Manufacturer recommend to run in new car for the 1st 1000km, ppl dun follow. Ask them to service 15k km, they follow. 🤭 Muayhahahah True, but in all honesty.. changing oil every 5k is a waste of money.. Modern engines these days can probably run to 20k before an oil change.. unless you intend to keep the car for >10yrs which is very rare these days.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine in the FL Superb seems to be from the current Audi A4/A5. Maybe, the 7 speed wet clutch DSG is as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is heathcare is cheaper than the car maintenance Yeah i brush my teeth twice a day without fail and go for annual medical and dental checkups regularly. Most of my famly members and friends do that too. 😁 Yes i do agree with u that warming up a modern fuel injected engine is old skool and unnecessary. However, running in two pcs of moving metal is still essential. Technologies, better machining and assembly holds higher tolerates, shortens run-in period and not to skip it totally. If u were to talk abt quality, Jap cars are far more reliable than contis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in) Edited September 19, 2019 by Fu11thr0tt1e 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing going for the FL would be the virtual cockpit option. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
