Everybody, in their life, has at least one experience where they gave something a miss, whether a book, movie or even chatting with someone, simply because its cover wasn't appealing enough.
When was the last time you looked at a book and thought, "Nah, it doesn't look good."? Or even gave it a miss simply because its cover wasn't enticing enough? Be honest now, and I'm pretty sure that there are lots of us who do that. And it's not just with books. Very often, the not-so-aesthetically blessed in society get less attention and smiles than those with potential models features, and it's also them who usually have the privilege of picking the best from the basket. Basically, if the general impression people have of you is a positive one, you'd likely get on with life a little easier. Which wasn't the case for Skoda, at least until recently. In fact, tour guides in neighbouring Bratislava commonly joked that if you wanted to double the car's value
, all you needed was to "fill up the gas tank!" There were some serious image problems and it was only during this decade when things start to look brighter. In Singapore, few would even consider buying a Skoda. But right now, there is a very, very good reason to get one. For one, at its price of S$104,800 (it was an even more attractive S$99,800 when first launched), the "Simply Superb 1.8T", also known as the Skoda Superb 1.8T Elegance, has made a very bold and confident entrance into the executive sedan territory. Fitted with the same 1.8 turbocharged inline-four engine found in the Volkswagen and mated to the German group's latest seven-speed DSG tranny, it has a very competent powertrain.
