bruno6 - 1.4 TSI Hatch, Business Grey, DSG, Rear cam, ACC, 17' Stratos alloys, heated windscreen

The first 1.4 TSI on the list! Is yours manual or DSG Bruno6? Curious to know what the only 7 speed dry clutch DSG Box is like on the Superb!

Yes mine is DSG box.

Before Superb i had Octavia (2013) also with DSG box. In my opinion DSG gearbox on Superb is more smoother than on Octavia.

Are those extras which you hadn't spec'ed? And if they are, will all SE Business' come with them as standard I wonder?

That's correct, I never specced them so either mistake or they are indeed standard.

I've ordered a manual hatch back SEL exec, how does it drive, does it have enough punch in the engine or do you have to work it hard, Just some general comments would be great couldn't test drive one before I ordered, so eagerly awaiting some real life experiences from people I'm hoping its going to be great but coming from 20 years of Diesels i'm a bit concerned.

It drives very good. Of course it doesn't have so much punch in the engine than Octavia (103 kw) beacause Superb is heavier. As family car it's quite ok. I like it more than Octavia because it's better to drive and it's more comfortable.

2.0 150ps estate, SE Business, Moon white - variable boot floor.

[Gizmo]

Decided to separate the owners into trim levels and hatch / estate before the list got too big, makes it easier to see which is more popular etc at a glance,

I think you're going to be busy with this thread ...

2.0 150ps estate, SE Business, Moon white - variable boot floor.

Any extras you weren't expecting? Elec boot / rear door sunblinds?

[Sacwhh22]

Not on mine I'm afraid! Would have loved the electric boot! Car stunning though!

[Anhunedd]

Picked mine up today. Superb Estate, SE Exec trim, 2.0TDI 150 Manual, Brilliant Silver. Came with a selection of options, none of which I picked myself as this was an in stock car that I bought as I needed a new car quickly. 19" Sirius alloys, Electric front passenger seat, Front parking sensors, Traffic sign recognition, Colour MaxiDot, Retracting parcel shelf, Heated Washer nozzles, Spare Wheel and WiFi. Black Leather/Alicantra mix interior.

 

And one key. First one has snapped already. Luckily not in the ignition - took it out after 2nd journey, noticed it didn't fit back into key body and saw it had almost broken off.

 

Is there no speed limiter on these cars? It mentions one in the manual, but the controls for it aren't there where they should be (on the top of the indicator stalk). Going to miss that from my last car.

 

I thought the parcel shelf was meant to retract automatically on boot opening, but it doesn't - but the manual (strangely) says that should be in the settings. Not quite sure how the car settings can control a mechanical shelf, but I'll have a look tomorrow. Traffic sign recognition is a bit meh - at one point it told me the speed limit was now 100 (you'd have thought they would have made that impossible in the software in the UK) and it picks up any old sign, including ones for side roads and those ones which warn you of an upcoming change down to 30 for example. But everything else is very nice indeed. First stop, the local Skoda dealer for a new key tomorrow!

 

Early MPG results on a mixed town / rural roads run of about 25 miles was a reported figure of just over 50 mpg.

Anhunedd, How does the estate look in silver? I'm considering this combination but there are hardly any real pictures available. On the one video I've seen, silver seems to suit the car because it does a good job of highlighting the styling edges.

Regarding the parcel shelf, I think the retracting function is built into the support, not the shelf itself. It controls the "stops" so that the rearward one is released when the tailgate opens (I think).

[Anhunedd]

I'm not massively fussed as to what a car looks like ("Unbeliever! Heathen! Burn the witch!") but I have to admit it looks great. The brilliant silver is (to my eyes) pretty much the same colour as the Sirius alloys, and the few black pieces are set well against the silver, and of course match the tyre colour. So I have a nice consistent two-colour scheme. I'll try to get a couple of pics in the real world at the weekend, but by the time I get around to that, it'll probably be three-colour as it's being driven in rural Wales - silver, black and mud
