when are they gonna make a gas/petrol hybrid cars man. Getting scared of the latest barrel prices.

 

Is there a gas conversion kit for Octavias in Europe? Thanks.

[Law_ong]

when is the Octavia Ambiente 1.6 FSI coming to sg??

[Koolaba]

There is no gas conversion kit for Octavias in Europe. However, according to the following site, the Octavia II 1.4 LPG Autogas model can be converted from a conventional 1.4l petrol version.

Quote from the site:

Kraftstoffverbrauch (komb.) 7,4 l/100km - CO2-Emission (komb.) 178 g/km. Bestellfahrzeug. Umr

CA will be in a better position to answer this question. Cost of the car will be a prohibitive factor for the FSI model to be sold here. I reckon the 1.6 FSI Octavia II should cost close to SGD80k. This is not a price what most Singaporeans will pay for a 1.6l family sedan. Not forgetting that RON98 must be used on FSI engines.

in Mar'06 (issue no.7), a Car Mechanic magazine rated

Octavia as one of the Cars To Keep Forever.

[Cheepo]

With such good industry reviews, I hope the local distributor live up to the brand's excellence.

i think it's hard. many sinagporeans cannot even pronounce

Skoda correctly, my friend pronounce it as "soka"?!

sigh... well, they don't know what they are missing.

[Skodee]

Heard someone pronounce as "Skota" before

[Viperphoenix]

i anticipate this to change next year with more sights of the car in the taxi mould. Coupled with the new ambiente and the FL superb coming end of this year, the brand will be further enhanced.

 

and of course, with the help of this forum. :)

That means Skoda would have more taxi on the road than private cars ....

 

That would make all of us 'taxi' drivers liao ....
