Again that will be a different gearbox given it's a sports V8, not a 4 cyl like a Golf or X1. When you research why these engines have the new 8AT, it has nothing to do with reliability.
These...
Interestingly, some reviews have said that just because it is a TC Auto doesn't mean it is actually better than a DSG. Even more so when you actually research who makes the auto. Aisin makes the MK8...
Good luck with the builders!
After over 83,000km of highways, dirt roads (some pretty hairy spots too), snow and crawling through city traffic, it's an immediate vote for the Scout from me. I...
Off topic - what's the new toy brad?
Thanks all.
I'm having my airbags replaced on Wednesday. Rang my local Skoda dealer last week and they booked it in - mine is a MY16 Octavia Scout Premium 132TSI, and despite the Recall Initiation Schedule...
Parents just picked up one last week - 85TSI Comfortline in Limestone Grey, with rubber mats, rubber boot mat and boot lip protector. Brilliant little runabout - 3 cyl DSG shows a little bit of lag...
Is the glovebox a known issue? Every now and then I've noticed the Scout glovebox isn't perfect and it needs a good thump to shut it. Previous MY16 Ambition Plus Octavia had no such issue. ...
Now that the oldies have picked up their new Bavarian chariot, and I've bought their 'old' Scout off them, mine is now online from the dealer. It's a great car!
Carsales - Octavia
They're a brilliant car - such a shame that they are no longer brought into Australia - too many SUVs and not enough wagons! Passat or Golf Alltrack could be a good option if Skoda doesn't bring in...
It's still only a front wheel drive too. It will probably do well, clearly trying to capture Australia's desire for front wheel drive SUVs. For those that want the AWD and slight ground clearance...
Saw another Karoq on Sunday on New Beach Road whilst walking to CYCA. This time in grey and the 1.5 TSI sounds particularly noisy at low speeds. Certainty noisier than the 1.4TSI I've currently got.
I read on Caradvice that the Karoq is here next month. (2018 Skoda Karoq arrival advances to June | CarAdvice)
Saw a red Karoq on Saturday at the corner of Carlingford and Beecroft Road in red -...
Had to fly down to Melbourne for the day yesterday - 4 people, had roughly 200kms driving to do so ordered a 'premium full size' through Hertz - was expecting a Calais or similar and purposely picked...
Silver Kodiaq on Mona Vale Road today.
Looks impressive I must say. Despite what I assume is a spacious car it doesn't look 'big' on the road.
First warning light came on today.
Car told me I needed to fill up the washer reservoir!
Just over 2,100kms on it now and I'm extremely happy! (Yes, I don't do a lot of driving - not...
I haven't been out on the bike properly since beofre I bought the Octavia back in March due to both uni and work, but finally had a slight reprieve last weekend so the roof racks went back on and...
Agreed on the Landcruiser point. Anything is better than a Landcruiser.
However what's the point of buying a tall 7 seater that is supposedly off road capable when they'll rarely carry 7 people...
Looks pretty decent for a kiddy hauler. Certainly would have to be a better alternative to a CX-9/Kluger etc.
But yet another SUV that will be found either at the nearest cafe or the school...
RS is by far the better car and even more so when you look at the cost of them. Interesting to read about the poor suspension control in the Levorg - that was certainly my experience with Subaru,...
I've got the Skoda ones which are Thule racks. I have the Thule 591 racks (which I kept when I traded in my XV for the Octavia). Easiest bike racks I've used - had Thule Outride 561 (which I chose...
Isn't that the point of Audi though? Options to tick everywhere you look.
There's also a lot of other issues at play - if you're looking at a Superb you're probably not in your mid-20s and...
Photo is there - I think they actually look good on the car.
I have a set on my MY16 Ambition Plus wagon - I'll upload a photo tonight when I get home from work.
