And maybe even be on my shopping shortlist next as a performance bargain gem In the end, seems like a $75k 1L Toledo would do the job as I'm sure it's also comfy at 60kmh....lol 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend a bit more and get the Octavia 1.4T. But then the look of the car may not agree with everyone until the new model arrives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic July 10, 2020 Share July 10, 2020 All went not too bad till he went to the back seat. Did a last minute check and admitted that there was a centre arm rest that could be folded down and put long items through it. I wonder how much time were they given to prepare the filming or was it suppose to be a spontaneous way of doing it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 10, 2020 Share July 10, 2020 (edited) I saw the review on the Cupra Ateca. The host's opinion is a "will buy" but like some folks here said it's hard to justify paying $178K for it. The badge has no presence here. Such engine performance in an SUV is a waste. For similar price and similar hp I think the Megane rs trophy is within reach. https://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/motoring/fast-lane-69 Quote The Trophy is priced at $145,999 with six-speed manual transmission and $155,999 with six-speed dual-clutch transmission - both without the certificate of entitlement. I would spend it on this. 6speed manual. Drool. That's just me. Edited July 10, 2020 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much time were they given to prepare the filming or was it suppose to be a spontaneous way of doing it. Was expecting to hear the reviewer's impression of the drivetrain and how it compares to other VAG offerings using the same ubiquitous EA888 & 7spd DSG, how is the steering response n body roll on a slalom, effectiveness of the brakes on wet and dry, stopping distances, etc instead of just cruising around Changi village area. It's not juz a B&B Seat but a Cupra afterall But the takeaway from the review is no different from what one expects from a run-of-the-mill Ateca 1.4 (e.g lots of headroom lah, got centre armrest lah, boot can fit auntie trolley lah, etc). Ok enough rant for the day. Gotta go voting soon. Lol 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBlade Internal Moderator July 10, 2020 Author Share July 10, 2020 Today Idris is back in another beemer. The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is a worthy rival to the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It brings with it a lot of fun in a coupe silhouette that's slightly larger than the hatchback 1 Series. Will our man behind the wheel give it his stamp of approval?

BabyBlade Internal Moderator July 24, 2020 Author Share July 24, 2020 Jon has got his hands on another MINI. The MINI John Cooper Works Countryman takes the brand's largest car and dialed it up to 11. Will Jon enjoy this big boy as much as he did the Clubman? Only one way to find out.

BabyBlade Internal Moderator August 9, 2020 Author Share August 9, 2020 Had enough of the sporty SUVs we have been testing lately? Then this is sure to interest you: It's the Mercedes-Benz GLE450, and it is a luxury yacht on wheels. At the rear, space is the order of the day, and at the front, the twin 12.3-inch screens and the Mercedes-Benz User Experience multimedia system with built-in navigation is sure to impress. But this is a 450, and that means the car also comes with a 362bhp 3.0-litre engine that can send this housing block from zero to 100km/h in just 5.7 seconds. So is the drive as impressive as its numbers? Watch the full video to find out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBlade Internal Moderator August 11, 2020 Author Share August 11, 2020 The Nissan Kicks e-POWER utilises a unique drivetrain that marries the best of what electric and petrol power can deliver.

BabyBlade Internal Moderator August 19, 2020 Author Share August 19, 2020 The Nissan Kicks e-POWER has finally landed in Singapore, and our man Idris took it out for a spin. Combining the best of what a crossover can offer with Nissan's unique e-POWER system under the hood, it delivers practicality and EV-like drive in an affordable package.

Soya Supersonic August 20, 2020 Share August 20, 2020 Saw the Kicks on the road yesterday. Looks quite good actually. Seems a tiny bit larger than the Vezel but definitely more modern looking. But still a compact crossover. Now let's hope the next X-Trail w 7 seats will hv e-power too. That'll be interesting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
