Have, and even with control button on steering. But not usable ergonomically.

Citroen is the pioneer for minimalist design...

Not air suspension. But hydropneumatic suspension.

One spoke steering is good. Can see everything behind clearly. I remembered C5 had a fixed steering center hub too. Again is Citroen's creation first among all makers. Now that we have an airbag, to make a one spoke steering like in the photos will be a challenge.

For a simple reason, becos Toyota have excellent resale value mah. And they are super reliable. You need to beg people to buy your used Skoda, No self respecting used car dealer will take your Skoda, those that do just offer u at scrap value, which u can scrap it yourself .

Skoda parts will be very difficult and super ex to get. And do u see any PHV Skoda on the roads? No right? It shows how unreliable it is LOL..

That's the common perception among sinkies against non lux, non Japs brands

Not being part of PHV fleet means unreliable? whether a car model is PHV is a lot of factors like car price, after sales and part price etc.

Might as well say Lexus not reliable it's hardly seen as PHV

SG demand is slightly different. Eg fav models here are A180,C180, 318,520. Overseas they don't even bother selling these, entry level usually start at 2L.

I think u are right bro. When I asked the AD abt the combi, it's maciam a taboo. I even asked how much to indent when I am willing to pay extra, they weren't interested.

Depends on the product manager n the factory will influence the requirements at times. Just like the 1.0 or 1.2 had since been removed.

I heard SCS covers first 2 years warranty for ALL Skodas in SG, so you can still get it from a PI.

depends if the parts are from a S3 or normal stock LCA. And whether its just bushing that's worn that could have been replaced to improve the handling.

Past AD brought in the combi model. It is odd that this new AD despite having good response from the public asking for the combi, it stubbornly refuses to acknowledge and doesn't even want to try. The product manager needs to be fired
