7hm Turbocharged February 11, 2016 Share February 11, 2016 You want this in SG? Buy a Touareg.... that's all we're gonna get. I would've loved to get a Superb hatch or Octavia, or even a Leon Cupra, but nope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lab4games 1st Gear February 11, 2016 Share February 11, 2016 There's always means to bring in a Skoda or seat even without an AD here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7hm Turbocharged February 11, 2016 Share February 11, 2016 Kodiak or kodak? refers to a bear... or possibly the alaskan place I think it's a fitting name for a SUV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karu 6th Gear February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 There's always means to bring in a Skoda or seat even without an AD here. Only for die hard fans.... Must pay for Adoption at VW? Might as well buy VW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 Only for die hard fans.... Must pay for Adoption at VW? Might as well buy VW. Err... If you have been in the Skoda Superb, you might change the perception about the brand. No about been a die hard fan, but the value offered by the ride. Without a AD, would have to self import, and probably VW Singapore would not even take in the car for general servicing. But since most part are share with VW & Audi, many workshops can do the job well. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 Unless VW decided not to share body panel and design cue among sibling brands this time round, it would not be difficult to guess / imagine how Kodiak will look like in another ~8 months time (the new model is schedule for debut in Oct 2016), basing on the new Seat Ateca (5 seater model). 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axela72 5th Gear February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 Nice looking car but major concerns is when it come to repair, there will be a cost and time impact on the unique part. E.g. body kit Unless VW decided not to share body panel and design cue among sibling brands this time round, it would not be difficult to guess / imagine how Kodiak will look like in another ~8 months time (the new model is schedule for debut in Oct 2016), basing on the new Seat Ateca (5 seater model).

Baal Supersonic February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 "........The engine line-up will feature familiar VW Group motors, predicted to start with a 1.4-litre turbo petrol. The core motor will be diesel, though – a 1.6 or 2.0-litre, in various states of tune, including the 237bhp twin-turbodiesel from the VW Passat. Front and four-wheel drive will be offered, along with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic........" =========================================== I suppose the 1.4 TP & 1.6 TD will be DQ200 (dry) & only the 2.0TD will be DQ380 (wet)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only guess... But in any case, wet clutch always better than dry, pure physic. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karu 6th Gear February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 The question is whether it is worth the cost & effort to own the car. VW DNA.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab4games 1st Gear February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 Only for die hard fans.... Must pay for Adoption at VW? Might as well buy VW.Why do you need to even go back to vw? The savings you get from getting the Skoda (without vw dealer's profit) is significant. Many workshop can service a Skod without being charged the the rates for servicing at AD. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axela72 5th Gear February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 the curious thing is why VW has never been well known of good realiability but Skoda is one of the most realible conti car even though they share many of the same part? The question is whether it is worth the cost & effort to own the car. VW DNA.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend had a Fabia followed by Octavia previously, The interior fit and finish is top-notch, only main downside when comes to selling, literally get low-balled by all dealers ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
