[thumbsup] Three thumbs up. Tonight went to a special invite for the Skoda Octavia launch. The evening was excellently held like the Skoda Superb launch just a few months back. The car is beautifully redesigned headlamps must be seen in real life as photos somehow did not capture the exact emotion when you see it real life. The equipment as been updated with better materials and higher quality feel. Many small touches here and there that any driver will appreciate. The Test DRIVE - wow this is the part that I was looking forward to the evening. The DRIVE, it is something a driver has to experience themselves. The pure power under tap, the smooth gear shifts, the acceleration pull keeps you in your seat till it reaches 3rd gear or something (sorry was too excited to take note :) ) The brakes were responsive and does it work immediately when you step on it. The wind noise was not audible even at 70km/h for the brief acceleration pull. The ride felt hard but not uncomfortable to the driver or backseat passenger. Corners were taken in with confidence. You have test drive it yourself! There is a smile on my face tonight. :)

Hello guys, hope someone can shed some lights on this problem I recently experience. Was going up Benjamin Sheares bridge at 5th gear ~ 70+km and felt breathless so I changed down to 4th and the car still feel the same as if I was dragging a ton of goods behind my back, even tho I changed down to 3rd at 50km, it's still the same. Had to floor the gas pedel but seems not accelerating at all. Been up and down this bridge countless times at 5th gear 70-80, didnt experience anything like this before. Going close to 10k and time for servicing but just like to have some thoughts on this... cheers!
