Even the top spec cars don't have great adjustment. but as mentioned skoda is a budget brand. Also comes with budget showrooms and staff in my experience. Skoda U.K. Are terrible quite liked the car but after 100k in 4 and bit years interior was looking decidedly tired compared to my previous golf. Had enough bull from VAG and gone back to Lexus. Might cost more but damn do they look after you and make a genuinely quality product. Not nice looking soft touch plastics that end up a rattling mess.

Hmmmm id not want to claim on my insurance for that. Think of the increased premiums for years to come. Then god forbid you have an at fault claim within couple years and bye bye no claims discount.

I had (until yesterday) a 2014 octavia with xenons. My wife has a brand new 1 series with the latest LED lights. Other than the bright white colour the xenons are so much better. Illuminate further down the road and also the sides of the roads. I'd get a drive in one with both to be honest. Don't personally rate the LED lighting tech. I think they have only come about due to stupid EU regs on maximum bulb wattage. Gotta save the planet you know Edit to add. Going from xenons to LED is not the jump going from halogens to xenons was.

Sadly this is why having home delivery or a shed full of dings already is very liberating.

My experience of variable servicing from the Skoda dealers is er, variable. None of them have a clue what needs doing when or importantly at what price. They just pull figures out their ass. My car won't see a Skoda dealer for a service again.

Using a pair from a Vauxhall Astra van on mine. No problems

Mines done 53k now and think they could do with a change. It's a 2014 elegance. Thinking of going for some brembos at £43.

Mine came with mich primacy from the factory. 42k and still going strong with 3+Mm tread left. Will certainly replace with Mich again.

Yes I have one under passenger and high viz under drivers. First car with under seat storage. What can you actually fit in them? Not found a use for them yet.

WBAC £10600 for my 2014 Elegance 150 TDI with 42k on it. Paid £21000 with a few options and extended warranty Plan at purchase was to run into the ground so was not considering the risduals. I always thought if losing less money on VAG goods was a concern you needed the prettier Frocked models with vastly more upfront cost. Certainly was the case when I pcp a Golf in 2011

Nothing major but check the b pillar seatbelt adjusters are not showing wear. If so get sorted before taking it away.

Good news for me. My supplying dealer have agreed to replace under warranty. It's a shame they are a 40 mile round trip. But at least I know not yo waste my time with the local idiots again now .

I paid cash and achieved an 18% discount. Plan is to keep 5 years and evaluate from there. In reality I might end up in the new superb if they can tempt me before then.

Honestly that would be great. I'm not very busy with work so have plenty of time to pester Skoda.

Sorry didn't mean to single you out like that was more a general comment on reversing cameras.

As it should be. When you were taught to drive your instructor would have insisted you look over your shoulder. Not down at a poncy little screen that won't show that kid/dog/trolley/whatever about to run across your path. Audible parking sensors are all you need IMO.

Yes it's just hearsay apparently!

So that's three dealers visited all saying user error and Skoda UK not giving a flying ****. At least one of the dealers was honest enough to say this isn't acceptable but hands are tied. I suggest a new slogan for Skoda. Skoda simply S H I T. How to lose a customer over £60 well done Skoda :(

Take it to a dealers and let them do the dangerous bit. If they bin it then that's their problem. Not your insurance

I've Driven a DSG. But didn't have to reverse it. I'm sure some people have complained about reversing uphill etc? Might be worth a check if you have to reveres up a drive etc. Other than that you will just know what's right for you. I did and it was manual. Mainly because it spends most of its life in 5/6 gear.

Wasn't our friendly garage in spondon who like a lamb chop was it?When trying to purchase I couldn't even get a price without driving it first :(. I'd driven pretty much every mainstream new and nearly new car including a new Octavia at the time of purchase. But still no quote without a drive. So I simply didn't bother service and parts are not much better. They are very friendly though :-/ Used carfile. Dealer ended up being rainworth Skoda in Mansfield. Easiest new car buying experience ever.

Nice but useless is my experience.

Use a broker main dealers are all ****ing useless.

Well Clock Skoda said "outside forces have caused it". Basically saying me and the Missus don't know how to put on a seat belt correctly, What's the point of a new car and warranty? Not impressed poor design and poor service from Skoda. Plus they wanted nearly £60 for the **** plastic part. Back to old cars after this shiny turd for me and the Missus can lease the cheapest new plate thing going to satisfy the stupid co car rules.

Yes I have this too. One short one tall driver. It's pretty bad.
