  1. So, it finally happened. I still can't believe it. RS 2.0 TSI Hatch Mamba/Hyper Green Ordered first week of March Forced colour change for MY22 in the meantime (was meant to be Meteor Grey) Produced late July, from then waiting incomplete Finished Jan 3 In Poland Jan 13 Collected today, Jan 27 It was a long wait (10+ months!), but just a short drive makes me think it was more than worth it. It's going to be with me for the next 3 years for sure. Apparently, it also matches my wife! 😂 Keeping fingers crossed for all your orders to get fulfilled soon!
  2. Mine (supposedly manufactured Jan 3rd) arrived at the dealership today. Now awaiting registration and changing tires to the winter ones, as they all arrive on summer rubber. Collection in few days, hopefully.
  3. Yesterday the VIN stopped showing error when adding to the MySkoda app and has finally shown the grey silhouette. Today, the full color image appeared in the app. It seems it really does exist 😉
  4. I was informed in August that there is a new pricing for the new model year and that Skoda doesn't guarantee that price will stay the same, but they didn't commit to the exact amount then. It was an estimate, subject to possible changes, as the date of delivery was totally unknown. I could argue I should've known the exact amount earlier, but I feel they had been relatively transparent, granted they knew as little as everyone about what's going to happen.
  5. Hatch RS 2.0 TSI DSG, the normal non-iV one. Almost no extras - just heated windscreen, heated steering wheel and phone box for wireless phone charging. 143 000 -> 146 000 in Polish zloty, so +3k (2%) after dealer discounts. They said it's due to model year change. I also had to change the colour (Steel/Meteor Grey to Mamba/Hyper Green).
  6. I've just received a message from my dealer that the car (ordered 1st week of March) was manufactured on 3rd of January this year and is now en route to the dealership, should be ready for collection in third week of January. Bad news is they didn't keep the price. Good news is, the rate hike is relatively minor and the full spec was retained. 47 weeks from the order date to receiving the actual car.
  7. My dealer just contacted me that the additional note appeared on the unfinished order suggesting completion in week 51 (current one). With the factory closure, it's quite mind-boggling. Let's see how it goes.
  8. Yesterday I got an update about no update whatsoever for my early March order. The car is still sitting somewhere unfinished for months on end. Definitely not coming this year. On the flip side, noone reaches out asking to remove features.
  9. My wife was very explicit that Mamba Green is the only option she will consider from the list of available colors, when Steel/Meteor Grey was discontinued. The Phoenix Orange was not yet available then, it might have been a contender, but she's definitely partial to the green one. So yes, wifes seem to be quite particular about their choices 🙂 Fortunately, I agree with her most often in my preferences, so noone is cross about the outcome.
  10. Waiting for a Mamba Green one ☺ was meant to be Meteor grey, just like my Mk3 was, but it got discontinued.
  11. That would be a legit reason, if it was actually the case. Seeing that many vRSes are coming out of order, and they are heavily specced from the start, that's rather not only it. Surely not the rear view camera at least, coming as standard. Mine, for once, has NO extras over the base build. Yet, it's not coming anytime soon apparently, even though a handful of later ordered vRSes have shown up on this forum already.
  12. I'm starting to think that my early March order is rather not showing up this year.
  13. Check that YouTube video someone posted with their Mamba. I've seen many photos and the video is the best "online demo" so far.
  14. I'm seeing lots of petrol blues and they look absolutely pristine, even dirty. If we are thinking of the same colour, I personally think they did a great job with this one. For blue hues, Porsche and BMW wins it for me though. They have some exceptionally looking ones on offer.
