  1. Yeah, the site I use to buy cars has listed 5 seat versions of all models to buy. I also made a comment on Skoda UK site and they confirmed you can now order 5 seater. I wanted 5 seat for better towing capacity and having sat in 7 seat version they are only suitable for sub 12 year olds unlike my sorento. Skoda has probably just bagged themselves a couple of sales from me.
  2. If you're in UK and forces or ex forces big discounts are available through the defence discount service. Over 4 grand on edition and 3500 on sel models. Through forces car direct.
  3. Just seen the practical caravan review. This car is not great for towing, just about every 4x4 and many others beat it weight wise. Only the most powerful engine can tow 2500 kg, but in UK it is only available in 7 seat which drops it down to 2000 kg. Also 7 seat mode drops nose weight down to 80 kg from 100 kg and roof capacity is only 75 kg. For such a large 4x4 it is disappointing. Yet I love this car looked at tiguan and ateca and interior and already run a new sorento and the interior beats all hands down apart from the last 2 seats in the sorento which are better.
  4. I don't know about residuals but I got a vrs hatch dealer pre registered one, 4 months old with no miles on it for less than 20 grand.
  5. I've bought Halfords Action 4x4 seat cover for drivers seat. Fits great, and is easy to put on and take off and is side air bag compatable. Colour is not great it comes in blue. The other Action seat covers that would look great don't fit the bucket seats. But these are better quality at keeping the grease and oil off.
  6. I'm on motorways for my commute and in no rush, going to work I use Eco as it's light but at night I use Individual, settings Engine and Air Con set to Eco, for fuel efficiency, Lights and steering set to Normal so I can use the Dynamic lights. Will be using sport for driving down country roads and a roads for better overtaking power and more precise steering.
  7. I just bought a pre registered one, which didn't have cruise. Took no effort at all to throw in the retro fit for cruise for nothing. If it's advertised as having cruise a dealer should fit it free. I think my dealer said it cost them £220
  8. Hopefully getting my Vrs on Wednesday, want to debadge it, leaving the VRS on and then plastidip the skoda badges. Then all I need is the black pack grill and I'll be happy.
  9. Just bought one of the pre registered Octavia VRS TDI, from Arnold Clark. I had been looking at a white and a red one at two other dealers, but really wanted a black one, however, the one thing I was looking for was cruise and the only black one locally was Arnold Clark and it didn't have cruise. All three were priced at £19995, the other two had between 2500 and 3500 miles on them, the black one had delivery miles on it. Was just debating which of the two red or white to go for, when the wife said ask Arnold Clark if it's possible to retro fit cruise. I phoned them and explained the deals I had set up with the other two, within half an hour I had bought the car. They matched the other deals close enough on the part ex, and when you took into account their finance actually worked out £20 a month cheaper than the other two, it was almost a done deal, the clincher was they are retro fitting cruise for nothing. One very happy man.
  10. Hi, just a quick hello, been driving a Ford Fiesta Metal, but always wanted a Octavia VRS, well today I finally ordered a new pre registered one, can't wait to get it next week
