Major milestone...

03/01/2026

Skoda Singapore recently tossed me the keys to the new Octavia RS in Race Blue for the weekend…

Up front is the Gen 4 EA888 2.0 TSI, pushing 265hp and 370Nm through a 7-speed DSG. 0–100km/h arrives in 6.5s, but the best part is it doesn’t feel like a “numbers car”. The progressive steering and sports-tuned suspension make it genuinely keen to turn in, and a blast on B-roads. The ride is surprisingly comfortable too — though you’ll still feel a bit of stiffness when cruising normally.

The VAQ e-LSD helps it put power down in a clean, refined way, the RS Suedia sports seats are properly comfy, and the 13” infotainment with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto brings the whole cabin up to date.

When it’s time to switch back to daily duty, put DCC into Comfort and it settles right down. You still get the practical wins: a 600L boot, tons of usable space, and the kind of car you can do errands, runs, or a weekend road trip in without thinking twice.

Thanks for the loaner !

Recently had the chance to swap the EG6 NVH-mobile for the brand new 2025 Golf eTSI R-Line in Oyster Silver Metallic for a weekend!

The eTSI 1.5L 4 pot turbo makes 116ps at 5k RPM and 220NM of torque from 1.5k rpm, and proved to be punchy around town, with enough grunt for a bit of spirited driving on some JB B-roads. The sports suspension package fitted to the R-Line had good body control wonderful turn in, while still remaining compliant over rougher roads.

The Adaptive Cruise Control with Travel Assist worked wonders on the NSHW, and took the monotony out of slower highway drives. The R-Line also came with ArtVelours microfleece seats, which were comfy yet grippy in the corners too.

What really stood out was how versatile it felt. Sporty enough to put a smile on your face when driving spiritedly, yet refined and easy-going when cruising along. With the sportier R-Line bodykit, premium cabin materials and everyday usability, the Golf eTSI R-Line was the perfect weekend companion.

Big thanks to for letting me enjoy a weekend with this well-rounded machine... proof that practicality and fun really can go hand in hand!
