Bit of an odd car to go for but I thought why not! their probably never going to make a 3.6 Skoda ever again! Got a great deal on my part ex, and my warranty, and mot are just about to run out! Its still in warranty, and they will extend it for another 12 months when it runs out which is brilliant. 

 

It's an elegance 3.6 in Mocca Brown, with the Ivory interior. I think it'll look really smart, it's also got the 18" Lunar wheels which in my opinion look great on the Super B. I drove a TDI DSG 170 the other day and that was also very nice, but that was just a little out of my price range as it was a pre reg 13 plate. 

 

Full review to be done over the next day or so after I pick it up, I've reduced the miles I do a year now too, so "it makes sense!" The mpg's will be less than the vRS and I've had a great year with the RS. I thought it would be good to knock the 4x4 off the wishlist, and a v6 in one go.

 

I can't wait...what have I done  :blush:

No, but stopping for fuel every twenty miles slows you down.

OMG you're crazy, did nobody advise you against this? :p

 

A very premium Skoda indeed, I'm sure it will be awesome. You can look forward to telling all those Porsche Panamera drivers their car is "parts bin" too :D

Leave him, he'll perhaps tank round in it, burning fuel and complain about the consumption before prematurely selling and returning to the vRS fold!!! :lol:

There again, perhaps he is on special tablets?

Spot on Leon - looking forward to review and pics, I know you won't be disappointed.

Welcome to the Superb section!

Thanks Coops! I'll get some sorted by the end of the weekend :) I don't want this thread to end up being an MPG one though!

Yeah, maybe crazy... Well looks like the only other 3.6 in the group now is the Porsche 3.6 @ 300bhp! 

 

Think he's on special Tablets

3 Skoda's in less than a year... I think I have a problem... :think: ...I don't think I'll need to get a Yeti!

You'll soon get sucked in..........Don't worry

Is there a pattern from Super B owners to Yeti's!?

 

Nice one Leon. That is a class wagon. Enjoy!

Yeah, it looks really smart. I look forward to driving it home tomorrow.

 

I will need to try out everything, it doesn't have park assist though but I'm sure I can park a car!

Wow you didn't hang about did you Leon......you will find it quite quick....but as for parking it in Cornwall ...no chance  :rofl:

I know I threw the idea out there 2 weeks ago, and a week later I make the decision to take the plunge! 

 

 

the funny thing was the insurance was only 25 pence more a month!

Insurance is funny like that.

I went from 2004 180bhp slightly modded Fabia 1 vRS £800 a year full comp.  

to a 2009 265bhp S3 which is £300 a year full comp.

 

Mental oriental.

Enjoy it, you only live once. :rock:

 

Than get annoyed over the fuel consumption and get sensible and buy a Yeti?  :rofl:

I see a theme with this Yeti diversion, I haven't even picked the Superb up yet! 

 

Sounds interesting. Not a car I could ever bring myself to buy, but I'm sure it will feel very special.

No, I didn't see this coming myself. I think it sounds pretty good from the youtube videos I've been watching.

Wow, that dropped quite a chunk that's a holiday. 

 

Keen to read future reports and hope to make the same move in a years time if favourable.

I've always been looking on auto trader to see what prices they sell at, I think they're quite rare to find at a decent price to make it justifiable. One of the ways I made it sound "ok" was that the mot and tax was due, and my warranty was about to end so it made sense to change my car?! hmm   :rofl:
