Dealer says four weeks. Like it by biginning of June as I have a trip to Bordeaux in the second week.

New Superb will be built next Monday 22nd. Was not expecting such a quick delivery! Any idea on Skoda's usual time to deliver to the UK once built?

Yea makes sense, but why not offer the 1.5 mhev on the L&K as well .

I wonder why the L&K is only available at the moment with a diesel, they are very unpopular nowadays accounting for a very small percentage of sales. If they can build the lower spec cars with more engine choices then why not the L&K?

Been waiting two years to order, new what I wanted, but would have preferred a full hybrid L&K, but looks like that will be another six months at least. Maybe upgrade next year, see how I get on with the mild hybrid.

Car ordered for delivery in June. SKODA SUPERB ESTATE SEL 1.5 TSI mild hybrid ICE TEA YELLOW METALLIC SUITE COGNAC PANORAMIC SUNROOF ELECTRIC TOW BAR WITH ADAPTOR DYNAMIC CHASSIS CONTROL PLUS VARIABLE BOOT FLOOR WINTER PACKAGE 18" steel space saving spare wheel

Just diesel on the L&K trim! 😒 No PHEV yet, will just have to order a SEL mild hybrid petrol for now and change to the PHEV when it is available. I've been waiting for this car for 2 years, can wait no longer!!

Mine has autohold but only when it is on an incline, was a bit disconcerting at first as I was used to the Skoda holding on the flat, but I soon got used to it.

btw, my old car is for sale in a garage in Bedford if anyone is looking for a fully loaded 280, cannot remember the name of the showrooms.

I am really pleased with it, although with lockdown I have not had much use of it, no long runs, just a couple of trips to the Post Office every day. I have done 800 miles in the 3 months and hardly used any petrol, still shows 200 mile range from new when I collected it with a full tank I charge it a couple of times a week and 95% has been on electric power. No rattles or squeaks and nothing has fallen off! Not had to use it for any work trips so have not loaded it up yet, I know it is smaller than the Superb so will not be dissapointed when I cannot get so much in it. My work collegues used to call the Superb 'The Tardis' they cou;ld not belive how much you could get in it!

If you remove the three headrests the floor will fold flat, it will not look like it until you get some weight on it.

Yes I wasn't that sure , post '34 Citroen I know everything, pre '34 almost nothing!

A Rosalie I think, the model before the Tractiion in 1934.

I never noticed that the 280 had 4wd, probably becuase it worked so well! As the 508 is still new I have not been giviing anywhere near full throttle but it seems to handle it's power ok so far and of course the electric motor is very quick and very smooth off the mark. The car does not seem any slower so far but I am guessing it will not have that kick that the 280 had.

I will miss the space that I had in the Superb and how practical that space was. Already had to remove some brackets for the boot cover (always the first thing I take out of an estate car) from the rear of the back seats which would have stopped you from stacking boxes nicely. btw worked out at £1.32 to chrge overnight and that is on a 11.8p tarrif, I will change to a EV tarrif at some point which should give arounf half that price whilst charging overnight.
