I’ve seen suggestions on the Octavia owners Facebook group that the leather/alcantara seats with electric adjustment seen on the continent will be offered in the UK soon. hope it’s the case, the seat colour and the quality of the fabric is stopping me from ordering a mk4 atm.

I’ve read on the vRS Facebook group that electric seats are coming soon, along with other options like a green metallic paint. Should be the leather/alcantara seats with electrical adjustment/memory as available elsewhere. The seats also have a pull out extendable thigh cushions.

Yes, if you settle the finance within 14 days you’ll pay no penalty or interest but get the benefit of the deposit contribution. I know several people who’ve done this on VWFS financed cars.

Finance example here from Simpsons Skoda for the Hatch petrol DSG. includes £2k contribution from Skoda, a £2,500 customer deposit and a little more discount on top going by the listed “cash price”, all translates to £349 a month for a base car, with an £11,600 GFV over 4 years.

that’s got the better seats I want. Leather/suede and extendable thigh cushion. Really hope they make those available In the uk soon.

my current Golf GTi was bought via DTD, my local VW dealer won’t even quote me once I showed their quote, told me to buy from them, so I did. when I bought my Mk3 vRS in 2014 my local dealer matched CarWow, which was the best I could find at the time but I was right at the end of the sales quarter so I think I helped them over the line on a quota

I appreciate its new, and that only the 245 DSG is listed at the moment, that just happens to be the one I’d want! I just didn’t know if Skoda are likely to add to the availability of options as well as the models. i wouldn’t consider ordering yet until the Brexit position is known one way or another anyway.

spoke to the salesman Today at Skoda Grimsby and he confirmed that it’s £2k deposit contribution, 4.1% APR and £159 service pack on the VRS, just like the rest of the Octavia range. currently 12-14 week lead time quoted which means January delivery. He couldn’t confirm about who they’d expect to cover the 10% import tariff in the event of a no deal Brexit. That could quickly eat into any discount if the customer has to foot the bill!!

I’m not entirely sure. The car is new to the showroom so there wasn’t a spec list displayed with it. My guess is that it’s the “special order” red, as it looked different in shade to the corrida red mk3.5 parked outside.

Hi all. Considering coming back to the Skoda fold with a Mk4 vRS and I’ve just viewed a red hatch at Skoda Grimsby. i think it’s a great cat but there seems to be limited options on the uk model when I compare to the German or Czech configurator. The standard UK spec is higher I admit and the price is fair in comparison but I’d really like to add leather/Alcantara seats with the silver trim available on the continent. These have the added bonus of extendable thigh cushions and powered/memory operation, good when you have a bad back like I do. Are Skoda likely to add more options soon or do we think that this is the spec set for the foreseeable future? I’d hate to commit now and see things added after I’d ordered. shown here is the red hatch as it would be rude not to post a picture!

Collected and gone. I'm outta here
