OCD

Perhaps not softer just a bit less 'sting' or harshness on the initial bump from new.

To begin with the suspension on my SEL combi with 'Sports suspension' seemed very firm. After 9k miles, you would be hard pushed to notice any difference. The 17" wheels are probably the biggest cause of any ride harshness and the fact that the tyre pressure figures are high for ecofriendly driving! Both my Roomster and Fabia started off very firm, but 2-3k miles and that firmness goes. It's just 'newness' of the components. I am actually doubting any change to the overall spring/damper setup other than a slightly different spring rate dropping the height. Granted, I haven't driven either model with 17" wheels and without sports suspension. I demo'd a SE with 16" wheels and standard suspension for an afternoon and other than a bit of tyre roll when pushing on, I agree with the above about telling the difference. Which, means this is an expensive option for a 15mm lower ride height.

All kept electronically. An attempt to lock people into servicing at main dealers I guess? Not just a Skoda thing. All manufacturers are on it.

I'm getting exactly this too.. It drives me bonkers! Can't be a coincidence surely?

Popped in today to enquire about changing my car. Left shocked just how unhelpful the guy was and the absolute incredible speal of BS that came from his mouth in the following 30 minutes after explaining why I was there. Just the outright lies about how things work and what needs to happen, even trying to lie about PCP and GFV figures and excess mileage cost they would incur if they settled my PCP! Basically, scare tactics and an attempt to screw me for price. I left none the wiser with him having done a check of my car but not being able to give a value as it takes 2 hours to go through it all and I would have to have a test drive. Having already agreed to allow them to check my PCP settlement figure as I thought this was going to happen whilst I was there. Turns out the car they are advertising as available which I was interested in already sold last week. Total wasted journey and time. Well and truly put off. I suspect a torrent of calls and emails to follow trying to get me back. Will have to keep an eye on my credit records too, as I suspect they will take the liberty to do a credit check..

My SEL Estate did not. As above, I think it is part of the simply clever pack.

Wasn't sure whether to take the Fabia or the Roomster. Decided the Fabia was a bit sensible So Roomster it is, and it had a good clean today. Just hope the weather holds out.

Yup, can view images from SD card and via USB. All the images ive tried are .Jpg images. Try a usb memory stick and see if that works. Haven't seen any options to set an image as a screensaver.

I would look at this differently. If he's that pushy, it probably means their sales are down, which could mean you have the upper hand.. As a consumer I personally hate this laid back sales approach. Some dont pull it off well and you dont know where you stand and are left confused.

Ignore me....

Yup, LF9R / 1Z1Z

As above, SD card in glove box. I can view images using USB from my LG G3. Comes up with a file browser type menu for me when selecting. Wouldn't know about iPhone. Been such a long time since I had one. Can you actually file browse via usb on a PC now? This may be the limitation.
