Skoda Roomster featured in Straits Times, Life Section

[Echelon]

Just a heads up for those looking for a more spacious ride, the Skoda Roomster was featured in today's(Sat, Feb-9) Straits Times, Life Section, Page-7.

 

Quite a decent review and got some good points for the Roomster.

I love skoda man... My next car will either be a skoda or an alfa (less likely)

[Fortress]

Have the similar choice to you, but why Skoda over an Alfa

Check out the Roomster commercial on www.xxxxxxx.com

saw that too .... was pleasantly surprised if you noticed, previous writeups on skoda usually garnered positive reviews .... but why the low demand for it, I guess it has to do with the reluctance of the general public to accept tat skoda is a good car + the pricing strategy local AD adopts .....

 

i have driven my dad's BM camry + my bro's WRX. I can proudly say --> Minus the pedestrian pick-up, my octy is much better than both the cars !!! ... call me biased, but I'm really happy with my skoda !!!

Still don't know why the reason for a roomster versus an alfa..

vRS was featured on Torque in this month's edition as well. Couple of skoda ads on the magazine also.

quite possibly a poor quality review from Chris Tan..,.. keep going on and on and on about the space and nothing much else, me thinks.

[Fortress]

An Alfa....you are absolutely right.

[Friendstar]

eh its not a direct head to head comparison la

 

and i dont mean roomster

 

i mean in general, i would love to own either a skoda, or an alfa or BOTH in future hehehe =)

 

both are really awe-inspiring cars.

The problem for all the AD that brought in continental car is they always treat those car as more premium when compare to car from kimchi or sushi. Even the OMV is about the same, they will still price it much higher compare to jap/kor. At the end, they make more profit. Like Fiat is also very good, but over price again. The AD got to be

Thanks for sharing, I told myself that this Skoda will be the last Skoda I owned.

Looks wise, will agree with the Alfa. But besides, I really don't feel the current Alfa models.

[Fortress]

The current alfa feels like Nintendo...I will missed the bigger models like the 164, 166, heard that the 169 will not come in the RHD. Sigh

[Othello]

nintendo ? wat you mean ??

 

i rem the first car I looked at after passing my class 3 was an Alfa Sprint !!!! Damn nice, but condition was kinda bad ..... I was hooked, told my DAD I wanted it ( Ard $12,000 then) . As usual, the " lousy quality-drinker blah blah blah" came out, and I was forced to walk away ....... eventually, I got a Fiat Uno that happened to be a lemon !!!

[Fortress]

nintendo, means that you cannot feel the road...

 

My first car was an Alfa boat-tail. ...a sprint would have give you the world.

Yeah man, the Alfasud or Sprint is really what I missed, italian marque for poor man like me. Anyways, it is confirmed that the Junior will be coming to town next year and it does look potential.
