Love my Coup'e 85 Edition, love the shape, very close to my Superb MK3 in looks.☺️

Not sure if it can be retro fitted but I opted for it on my 85 Edition, love it.

Thank you, in the flesh it is absolutely stunning, my Superb was Candy White, that was lovely as well but the Moon White just pops in the sushine.

So I have been away from having a Skoda for 3.5 years, having had a KIA E Niro 4+, so I picked up my Enyaq Coup'e last Saturday 18th May, I have to say it is so good to be back in a Skoda.

So I have been away from having a Skoda for 3.5 years, having had a KIA E Niro 4+, so I picked up my Enyaq Coup'e last Saturday 18th May, I have to say it is so good to be back in a Skoda. I did not want to post on this issue until I had actually received my new Enyaq Coup'e 85 Edition. So, the time line for my car is as follows, 1) 16-01-2024, configured my Enyaq 85 Edition on the Skoda configurator , added extras were, Moon White, Advanced Pack, Suit Interior, 20" Vega Silver metallic alloy wheels, Rubber Matts and Mud Flaps (Front & Rear). 2) 19-01-2024, sent Enyaq configuration to my Main Dealer. 3) 24-01-2024 Confirmation from the dealer that the car was ordered. 4) 13-02-2024 Dealer confirmed a build for week 12. 5) 06-04-2024 Dealer confirmed that car had been built. 6) 02-05-2024 Dealer confirmed the car had arrived in the UK. 7) 07-05-2024 Dealer confirmed the car had arrived at dealership. 8) 10-05-2024 View car in it's transport packaging at Dealers and arranged pick up date. 9) 18-05-2024 Took delivery of my new Enyaq Coup'e. I have to say, there was no way I had expected to get the car before July - August, I hope this may help, I do not know if others have had such a quick delivery, my Dealer was amazing, communication was over and above anything i have had before. So after being able to actually look at the car in detail, I have to say it is amazing, inside and out, but boy , it is a big car, love it.

Just going through this process, and yes I can confirm there is no room to negotiate anything with the dealer, your contract to purchase the car is solely with Skoda UK, the dealer acts as an agent for Skoda UK. and that's it. Even worse is, if like me you want to PX your existing car, then that is a separate negotiation with the dealer, again I tried to get a decent PX value and they wont give an inch, probably because they make nothing on handling to new vehicle, but I cant be doing with selling privately, so I accepted their PX offer.

The best I have got from the KIA was 5.7, only once though, on average it's 4.3 - 4.6, sometimes I dip down to around 3.4.

Thanks to all of you who replied, last question is, are you al happy with your purchases, has the Enyaq lived up to your expectations.

Very good points made there, I could only relate to my current experience with the Kia, rear discs still in very good condition. I am seriously looking at returning to ŠKODA, especially the Enyaq as a replacement for the Kia.

Interesting point, I know that the rear discs have been an issue on many different manufacturers EV’s. I currently have a KIA E Niro 4+, interestingly I haven’t had any issues with the rear discs. The KIA is okay, just okay, but build quality hasn’t matched that of my MK3 Superb SE L Executive which I really miss.

Can anyone explain to me why ŠKODA have fitted drum breaks to the Enyaq.

Sadly I decided to sell my beloved Superb, after 5 good years, due to several factors, change in circumstances and with COVID I just don't do the miles that a diesel needs to keep it sweet, luckily my brother in law has brought it from me, so she stays in the family, it has been a terrific car, and a joy to drive, I will miss that BIG car. It left my garage for the last time on Sunday, and today I picked up my first EV, E-Niro 4+, brand new, ordered 3 months ago, so a new motoring chapter starts in my driving career, I will continue to monitor this great forum, so to all of you, I wish you a Happy New Year.

When I purchased my Superb SEL Exec, one of my main concerns was the poor length of Warranty offered by Skoda, and if you wanted a decent length of warranty you have to pay even more for what is already quite an expensive car, this really is very short sighted by Skoda and they should really look at offering their customers as good a warranty service as offered by South Korean manufactures. As we are all aware there is a vast market out there for us to choose from, and with Hyundai and Kia offering substantially better warranties 5 and 7 years, and very attractive cars, many of us will look very hard at what we purchase next. I regularly read the post on this site, and I am shocked at some of the awful failures that people have suffered and the battles that they have fought to get such serious issues resolved, I have also received some appalling service from my local Skoda Dealer who damaged my car during a service and then offered nothing in compensation other than a free MOT next service, on insisting on speaking to the Dealer Principle his arrogance and rudeness to me was incomprehensible, as if it was my fault that they damaged my car, I have never returned since. I had a friend whose Hyundai was only 3 months from the end of its warranty, his car was in for service, on picking it up he commented on the lacquer failing on his wheels to the dealer, he never gave it anymore thought, a few weeks later the dealer contacted him to say that a new set of alloys had arrived supplied under warranty, and could he book the car in to get them changed, now that is what I call customer service. With my car now being 5 years old I have been looking at a replacement, my son has a Hyundai it is a fantastic car and the customer service he has received from dealers in Southampton and in Gloucester has been brilliant, so my next car will probably be from Kia mainly due to the included 7 year warranty.

Had Cam Belt and Water Pump, Aux Belt etc changed in September, car is now 5 years old but only 20K on the clock, to me Cam Belt change every 4 year or 40K miles is ridiculous on a modern car but I could not risk not changing it, luckily my friend runs his own garage, so it was done at a very reasonable price using genuine Skoda parts. I am now at the point where I am asking myself if an ICE car is really suitable for me and the journeys that I now make, cam belt change every 4 years regardless of mileage is the deciding factor.
