    From carfolio.com, 9.2 is for manual transmission

http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=139051

Auto/tiptronic is 10.3

I couldn't find 2.5 v6 tdi in whatcar.com...

 The curb weight of the Skoda is about 1590kg. The "over 2 tonne" refers to its maximum weight (plus payload, passengers, cargo and all).

 The Vios does not weight under a tonne. From specs, it already says its min. weight is 1020kg and that's probably without a driver.

 

sorry my mistake for not reading clearly..

either way, 163/1.590 = 102.5PS/ton

110/1.020 = 107.8PS/ton for vios

Ok lah to add one more convincing source. www.Whatcar.com (publisher of What Car? mag, so confirmed reliable) website also states the superb 0-100 is achieved in 9.2s and weight is 1565kg. And no the torque dont surge at 1250rpm and die off, it goes all up to 3000+rpm, at which the car then upshifts instead of "dying off". And even if your specs are correct, 10.3s - 9.5s = 0.5s difference only. With tiptronic, you can be sure it'll definately be faster versus hand+leg, so 9.8s for manual upshift in a vios is probably optimal/theoretical, but rather hard to achieve in real life.

ok la.. i got my specs wrong also.. never read clearly..

I got it from http://www.cardekho.com/details/Skoda_Superb_Comfort_2.5_V6_TDI

which states 10.3s, I saw 9.2s as well on some site, but it's for the new 2.0 tdi but since ts mentioned 2.5 v6 tdi i used that site.

350Nm is peak torque, and by dying down i simply meant declines.. sorry for wrong choice of word. 350 is peak already.. it can only go down right?

I can't find the performance graph for 2.5 v6 tdi, but here's one for 1.9 tdi which shows a high torque achieved at low rpm, declines slightly then gradually. 1250-3000 rpm is a tad narrow band to ride for a sprint isn't it? correct me if i'm wrong as I've never driven a TD car before. I only have experience in petrol turbo.

After all these, a vios is still a close fight. I'm just using a car of similar performance in a century sprint to illustrate that it won't win a wrx, nor lose slightly.

"With tiptronic, you can be sure it'll definately be faster versus hand+leg, so 9.8s for manual upshift in a vios is probably optimal/theoretical, but rather hard to achieve in real life."

That is why i mentioned SOLELY on specs...

1.5 I4 NA vs 2.5 V6 TDI??

The power of Skoda Superb V6s has been discussed ad nauseum, maybe not here but in other forums. Fyi the Superb has about 140Nm of torque. The new WRX 5D 2.5litre has 320Nm of torque (The Vios has 141Nm). Maybe the Superb lose to the rex slightly, but pray tell, BASED ON WHAT SPECS say that a manual VIOS can win a Skoda V6? 

Power to weight ratio.

Most websites rated the skoda superb v6 tdi auto at 163PS but it's over 2 tonne!

A vios is less than 1000kg but has a power plant of 110PS

Go figure the ratio.

Secondly, being powered by a TDI, torque is very high at low rpm; 350Nm @ 1250rpm, That's why it has a very strong surge just when it moves off for a split second, after that it dies down.

Thirdly, a manual vios (pre-fl) can do the century sprint in 9.8s whereas the skoda takes  10.3s and fyi, a my05 2.0 manual rex is rated at 5.9s.

In a century sprint, a split second can means the difference of nearly 1 car length... A skoda lose slightly to a vios from standstill, probably.

Don't bother talking about topspeed in local context... who would want to risk their life and others to get over 200km/h just to show a skoda can win a vios?

based solely on specs, a manual vios can win the skoda v6 tdi already in a 0-100 sprint.. no need wrx

smokers!!! Quit!!!! No virgins waiting for you in heaven!!!

    I was a smoker and is in the midst of quitting (from nearly a pack a day to 1 or 2 sticks a week now) My gf smokes as well and I'm trying to get her to quit

    She SMS me just now and ask if i could buy a pack for her, in which I replied - No I will not. I can go out of my way to get you food or anything else but not cigarette.

    Then her tone changed. From a sweet SMS to a one word - Night. I then sent her a couple of SMS asking her why not just quit. I said I know it's her choice to smoke and her own responsibility but when misfortune strikes, she's not the only one suffering. I told her I find it ironic that she smokes because she's stressed, but isn't getting cancer more stressful?

    The hordes of messages that follow is really disheartening. She said that I implied that she's hopeless. Says that I'm bringing her down and goes on saying that I keep pin-pointing her mistake which I did not. She says that everything we argue even when I did not bring up anything from the past but that's not the issue.

    She even called me crazy bla bla just because I suggested that she quit. I tried my best not to lose focus and blow up as well as I really want her to quit.

    Any approach that I can try using??

I intend to propose some time this year.. and how do I go about doing it?
I heard there's 2 significant of rings needed? Engagement ring and wedding ring?
Engagement ring only need 1 to propose or do I need one as well?

Is it a must to have diamond on engagement ring? I don't intend to have one. Not that I'm cheapskate or not unable to afford but because I have a special and meaningful reason for not having it.

Say I've already proposed, what's next?
ROM? As good as legally married?
And when do we exhange vows?
And how many gatherings or ceremony I have to go through (Traditional chinese and Catholic)?

Please advice!

Polygamy should be legalized and everyone brought up in such a culture!
Like that no more sob stories about cheating!

All these feelings the result of expections, possessiveness..? =(

Does unconditional love exist in relationships?

How could someone lie to me over and over again… and I’m still willing to accept her…

I am torn between what she said and what she's doing. I'm seeking closure.
Besides, I've never felt more comfortable with another girls. I could do anything without feeling awkward. She doesn't expect anything from me. She is the perfect girlfriend except that one thing.

I met this wonderful girl way back in the first year of secondary school days. I'm 22 now.

In the past, she was easily influenced by her friends and has yet to build her foundation on the basis on a relationship. She would be with a guy after another, even concurrently. During that period, I have been cheated over and over again, but I stayed on hoping things will change.

She still went on her ways and we broke off after being together for a couple of years.

Another couple of years down the road, her life took a drastic change. She lost the one man and could truly gave her unconditional love and tasted her own medicine when she went abroad to studies.

We met again by change and I could feel that she is the one girl I've been waiting for. Her words were so assuring. As her life was still in a turmoil, I sacrificed alot just to rekinder that love. I sold whatever I could, my parents supported me. I brought her into my house and provided her with everything.

But as years go by, I began to took her for granted. I get easily irritated and would blame her and bring her down on many occasions. The ego in my emerged. Deep down, I still truly love her.. but I don't know why I couldn't bring myself to show it.

I trusted her truthfully, or maybe blindly. In recent months, she started behaving differently. Spending less time with me. But she was still assuring I'm the only one she will ever be with and will never hurt me again. One day I found something suggesting that she's cheating on me. She said it was nothing so I just brushed it aside.

She just left for china with that guy that I believe she's cheating on me with. She lied about going to UK to scout for universities. I just found out everything and my world is torn now. She won't be back till a week later.

Please advice...

Would you still accept him/her even when they cheated their body too?
Did it work out in the end?

Please share. I'll share mine in days to come...
