  1. Money back & look for another maker !

    Apart from the wrong seats the car look great & i had waited a rather long time so was torn between sending it back or accepting the seats as fitted....... Don't get me wrong the seats looked great aswell they just weren't the ones I had ordered & I wasn't convinced they can take my kids testing they wear ability.... Does anybody have any view on Alcantara v. Leather in terms of kids ?? Thanks 

  2. Ordered on the 11th November 2015 & arrived 14th April 2016. Moon White 1.6 Greeline SE Business....... When it arrived it had the wrong seats in it !!!! Had ordered with black leather but arrived with the alcantara !!! Skoda's only response was to offer to take it back & order a new one which would take approx. 20 weeks ....... What do you ?!?!?

  3. 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!).

    From what I was told the other day the vehicle is in the UK but neither the dealer or SUK have any control over when it will be picked up & dropped to the dealer this purely at the whim of the transporter driver.... Unbelievable... Still haven't been given a confirmed date & the car has been in the UK since before the Easter Bank Holiday weekend !!!

  4. totally side with you..mine was build 29 Feb and I collected 30 March (London)..it only took 2 days from Kvasiny to Emden.. then 3.5 weeks to me from there....

    Well mine was 'allegedly' build week commencing 15th Feb & has still not managed to arrive at the dealers. Monday will be 5 months since ordered...... Not sure I would recommend a Skoda to anybody at this point in time, the car had better be worth the wait !!!

  5. Well I've had yet another setback. The dealer finally rang to tell me the car was in the UK (which I've known since last Thursday). He said that there was a backlog on delivery transport due to easter closures and would I mind if it went into April for delivery?

    I wondered how closing for easter next week causes delays last week and this week. Surely the backlog would result AFTER stopping deliveries over easter rather than the two weeks prior? At any rate I told him I did mind as we're struggling a bit atm and need the car as soon as possible.

    He said he'd be off tomorrow but will ring back on Wednesday to see if there's any update. This has to be the most protracted delivery I've ever known. I've not even had the car yet and I'm already seriously tempted to go back to Mazda, BMW or Ford next time.

    Same here.... Vehicle due at dealers 21st (yesterday) but this was missed so will now be after Easter... No date given just after Easter so likely will now be delivered April !!! Was promised a few days ago once it was on a boat they could take control & would do everything possible to deliver in March but now it is still with SUK & they seem to accept the delay.... 5 months anniversary of order in April with an initial assessment of 12 weeks from order... nearly there but not quite yet !!!

  6. Checked first thing this morning and mine has moved forward a week. So from 7 to 6 to 7 to 6!

     

    Looks like a batch of SE Business will be on the production line fairly soon.

     

    Mine was ordered 27th November.

    My last update was build week 7 for a SE Business so hopefully mine has moved forward a week aswell !! (ordered 11th November 2015)

  7. When I enquired at the local dealer last week, their systems have the 1.6 models being built in only 9 weeks as opposed to 11-13 for the 2.0 models.

    I'm interested in this engine combination for BIK reasons. It's between the new Superb and a Volvo V60 D2.

    I ordered mine 2nd week of November & was quoted 12 weeks for delivery & as of last week it was still on schedule to be delivered early Feb ( according to the Lease Company ). Will see shortly I guess !!

  8. I ordered an Octy business Greenline estate with no extras at the beginning of November - delivery due end Feb.

    I had a seat 1.6 Leon for a while as a hire car - really enjoyed it and happy I've gone for the 1.6 in the octy instead of the 2.0.

    Not sure what the Superb would be like with the extra bulk but suspect if you're not in a rush it will be fine.

    I think that although the Superb weighs more ( 200kg or so ) the 1.6 in the superb is 120bhp against the 110 of the octavia so doubt there will be much difference ??
