Lchong 4th Gear November 3, 2019 Share November 3, 2019 18 minutes ago, Thaiyotakamli said: I think everyone in sg know volvo more than skoda. i consider volvo quite popular in sg. Given that skoda just reached sg on june, skoda has done very well against other conti brands including renault, peugeot, citroens, jaguar, mini, alfa romeo and opel which has been in sg for decades Actually for the price its really good vs jap/korea cars. Skoda is engineered to suit the Germans/czech, where cars are subjected to high speeds on the german auto bahn. Compared to their jap / korean counterparts which are not engineered to constantly withstand the stress that comes with high speed. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After they sold to geely and churn out their S90, XC90, their desirability and popularity has been on the rise. Before that luxury cars was always the german big 3 for singapore buyers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 The Q7 that PA loaned me had VC. Initially cheap thrill. After 1 hr I was bored w the GPS graphics (who realli uses built in GPS maps when u hv Waze or google maps?). Much prefer the analogue dials as it gives better instrumentation clarity 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much prefer the analogue dials as it gives better instrumentation clarity I recently rented a BMW M850i in Germany with VC too. Hated it because there were too many things to look at and it was harder to find basic stuff like the rev counter and gear position. Like you said, with Waze every car GPS is redundant. And there’s a reason why Porsche still sticks to analogue rev counters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather have the Brake assist and the full safety rather then anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
