Mine (DSG on 17") is probably too new to get any meaningful info on it. But on Sunday, did a quick trip to Ikea, about 30 miles each way on the motorway,
On the way there, drive mode in sport and no ACC = 43mpg (maxidot). Return journey, similar volume of traffic, etc, drive mode in individual (eco-box, sport steering) and used ACC all the way, jumped to 49mpg.

Pegasus is a £0 option?
Was on my SE-L.
Agree the look good.
£450 on SE Business for Pegasus (or in my case, an extra £16.67 a month)
-
It's the same situation on the O3.
Why give you the curved mirror glass for free when they can charge you £000's for Blind Spot Monitoring option!
I did wonder that. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but just feels wrong.
-
Possibly the thing I like least about my car.
Have I got the wrong glass in my driver's door mirror? It's completely flat, where as every other car I've driven for years has had some sort of curve on the edge to help you eliminate blind spot on the drivers door.
I just wondered if the factory had given me a mirror/glass for a left-hand drive car.
-
Because I've got mine on a 2-year personal lease, adding in lots of options to my SE Business would have pushed the bargain monthly price up significantly, so I just went for DSG and a spare wheel. (I had real bad luck with tyres on my last car)
I wish though that I'd had blind-spot as finding the mirrors quite poor. And better wheels. The Helios are ok, but I passed a same-colour Superb yesterday and thought how much better it looked with Pegasus.

So, finally, after a lot of grief and just plain unacceptable customer service from Skoda UK and the dealer, I have my Superb. My first and last Skoda. Ordered 1st December, delivered 14th April, 6 weeks later than the day I needed it and was promised it.
It's a Petrol Blue 2.0 SE Business DSG estate, with a spare wheel (that's all). Just done a few miles and seems decent. Particularly like the gearbox; very smooth.
I'll be sure to report back when I've had a good play around with it.

My SE Bus should be with me on Thursday (but not holding my breath) and also on a PCH. It's coming from Lookers Stockport.
I ordered start of December and the finance docs were exactly as quoted.

Whats wrong with someone else at the dealer taking ownership ? shocking.
Because it's an SE Business (like mine) = less profit for Skoda = tiny margins for the dealer = less customer care = if you cancel, someone else will snap it up.
Or is that just me being cynical?

Ouch! That's a very poor show. So is it still at the docks then? I thought SUK had no control over the timescale for delivery to dealerships from the docks, as it was down to dealership quotas (i.e. how long it takes for them to have enough new cars to fill a transporter)? I may be talking out of my backside though. Either way I'd be as livid as you. Keep on at them, it'll be worth it in the end and you'll soon forget the stress (speaking from experience!).
Apparently, it is on the back of a transporter somewhere between the docks and Stockport. I've never felt less like a valued customer in my life. I get better customer service/care buying a £2.99 Happy Meal than I do buying at £25,000 car. Buying a car should be a pleasure, it always has been in the past. "What do you want me to do about it" attitude from everyone you speak to. Rant Over. And chill.

Thought I was getting mine on Saturday. Call from the dealer to say not. Despite promise from Skoda UK that it will be delivered to them today, another let down. "Should maybe" be delivered to dealer tomorrow. Been in the UK since 22nd March. So may have it later next week. Absolutely fuming.
-
More disappointments. Mine arrived in the UK on 22nd March, and is still sitting at the entry port. Spoke to Skoda UK, who couldn't have been less interested. They promised a call back by 3:30 today (it's now 4:30 and nothing). Just hope it really is worth the wait, and the hassle.
-
Weds morning was driving up A38 near Toyota and passed a transporter full of Superbs heading south. Alas, for me me at least, there were no blue ones on it :-(. But hopefully many people will now be getting theirs very soon.
Then that same afternoon, my dealer rang me to say that mine was now in the UK, reg number allocated and docs in the post. Finally!!

I have an S3 estate on order (2.0150D DSG) and last two days have had a hire car for work: Passat 2.0 150D man estate. So was really keen to see what it was like. 450 miles covered and it was ok. Just ok. Ride comfortable, seats less so. Very notchy gearbox I though and dear me, very basic. Not even parking sensors. Build quality good though
-
What kind of seat is this? I've also got a Puggle and (assuming it ever gets built/arrives) am looking into best ways to secure her in the car.

I ordered my first Skoda on Dec 2nd to replace my Citroen - (had 6 Citroen's in a row with not a single issue, so for me changing manufacturer was a big thing). I just cannot believe how long it's taking to get my Superb - now build next week, which by all accounts is actually quite lucky. I've never waited this long for build and am on the verge of cancelling. My Citroen goes back (lease) on Friday and unlikely to be in my Superb until after Easter (earliest). Being car-less for a month is going to be a nightmare.
Emailed Skoda UK, phone call this afternoon from someone who really didn't seem interested - wanting very much to blame the dealer for over-promising. If they can't be bothered, neither can I and I'm off to look for something else. So if anyone is in the market for a Superb 2.0D DSG SE Business Estate, Petrol Blue with a spare wheel, there might be one coming available.

Took the plunge (after a long line of Citroens) and ordered a 2.0 SE Business DSG Estate yesterday. Petrol blue. Only extra was a spare wheel. The PCH price was too good to ignore

Happy to report the safe arrival of my new 2.0TDI 150 DSG SE Tech hatch in Quartz Grey. (Standard specification except for wiper and spare wheel) which replaces my Superb3 2.0D DSG SE Business estate.
Although the trim etc the same, quite a few technology enhancements - Amundsen is lots better - touch screen actually works well.
Hasn't realised the 150D now has Ad blue and 7spd instead of 6. Engine noticeably quieter.
Build quality seems better although squeaky seat/centre console bit annoying
Bought on Personal Contract Hire direct from Lightcliffe Warrington (a much better experience than previous from Lookers Stockport)
