Dealer launch pics and first impressions.....
john96 replied to Superb170's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
I had a drive in a 150 dsg diesel during the week. Was a style which equates to sel in UK. 19 inch wheels which didn't seem to affect the ride, although I am in Germany. My impression was of a smooth quiet car and I am interested in getting one now.However as I currently have a O3 vrs, maybe the 190 would be more fun! I also sat in another one which had the alcantara seats, these would be my choice instead of leather in the sel. In Germany they are part of a 1400 euro option pack, looks like skoda UK are not offering these on the high spec models, which I think is a pity. -
Theres loads of guys getting them here in Germany, I actually went with the intention of buying however i didn't enjoy squeezing it through the narrower streets and it is obviously not very chuckable around the bends!! lol But has anyone got any decent pictures of jungle green on a superb yet? I also quite like the silver though.

Hi Gizmo! I can swap my octavia in Nov and was looking at my options, I popped into the local skoda dealer after a 3 hour test drive of a range rover sport, which didn't quite hit the spot for me. Sat in a superb, found it really nice, and getting a test drive of a 150 diesel tomorrow. If that goes well, then I may be ordering soon, which means in Nov I might need your VCDS expertise for the fog light (for BFG!)

Hi, thinking that I like the look of these and would like opinions on interior? Brown or beige with jungle green. I sat in a german spec SEL today and it was very nice.

faarn, I know that sick feeling when you haven't got it sorted. I was seriously thinking about driving back to UK and use one of the lads on here to help me! -
Have you checked out the yeti forum to see if there's a thread titled "I smoked a vrs"...lol

just PM'd faarn. Another update from my original reply which I should have added at the time. Gutersloh were not willing to do it as it's a MY15 and according to them it couldn't be done... so on the way home from there I popped into Thiel in Bad Driburg (15km) from paderborn. They were willing to have a play, so got it booked in and it took about 30 minutes with me next to them using Andyvee's thread. There were a few funnies, involving both fogs coming on and staying on even with ignition off and then the same with the lhs fog. However they eventually got it! I was very happy paying 25 euro. -
Both yesterday and today I had the fans on/high idle when I arrived at work after a 20 mile commute, I assume its because of the low temps here at the moment, but when i drove the car about an hour later the idling speed was fine again. My car has done 3000 miles now, and I reckon I have noticed the regen happening more often recently
