Same here f-mouse. Build week in the first week of Feb and delivery mid to late March. No guarantees but sounds hopeful.

Thats great news. Hopefully I will have confirmation soon of my build week. Its nice to maybe have something to look forward to. Last year and the year before have been hard for everyone so any good news helps to lift my spirits.

Hi. I've got a Pearl Black SE L with the Winter Pack and the front / rear parking sensors on order. Ordered in mid October and I have been told my provisional collection date from the dealer will be the end of April 2022 as a conservative estimate. I'm not holding my breath as I know how much the chip issues have slowed everything down. I am fully expecting there to be additional delays but I am ok with that.

No it's not good value. The SEL DSG comes out at £22,330 if you include the winter pack and front/rear parking sensors and wireless charging. These features should all be standard on a premium trim

Really not impressed. I knew the SEL DSG would be expensive but the base price and then the options list is an absolute rip off. Deposit contribution is tiny in comparison to the offer for the Scala. Finance calculator seems to indicate Skoda contribution is 1k but the offers page says it is only £750. Not impressed that to add wireless charging you have to add Kessy which is an additional £195 despite the fact its already listed in the standard equipment for the car. Not impressed at having to fork out £300 for front parking sensors in addition to the rear ones. Surely on this trim they should have front and rear as standard.

I'm fairly aggrieved with Skoda tbh and have little trust left in their franchises and their appalling customer service. I bought the Fabia 2 years ago and was charged upwards of £500 for a comprehensive service plan. The dealer went bust last year after my first service. Another Skoda franchise took over the dealership but refused to honour the remaining services on the agreement. Skoda customer services were disinterested and unhelpful. They shrugged their shoulders and pretty much said they and the new franchise had no legal obligation to assist me. The insolvency practitioners dealing with the bankruptcy have confirmed there will be no refund for the plan as I am one of many unsecured creditors. My bank were also unable to offer me a refund because the plan was not paid for on a credit card and they couldn't do a charge back against an insolvent company. With great reluctance I have bought another service plan through Skoda themselves rather than through the franchise. I need dealer servicing to maintain resale value. It's probably my own fault for not reading the exclusions of the service plan. I was then charged another £80 this week on top for brake fluid replacement. I just feel as though I have been continually ripped off and I will be very wary of buying another Skoda because of this experience.

Thank you. I'm looking at a Scala DSG to replace my MK3 Fabia in the next twelve to eighteen months. At the minute I'm weighing up either going for a Scala or jumping ship to another brand. Any reviews really help give me an idea of whether I want to buy from Skoda again. The local Skoda dealers level of customer service has been appalling throughout the process of buying the Fabia in 2019 to the complete shambles I've had to put up with over the servicing agreement and the endless hidden extras they keep trying to charge me for. If I do buy another Skoda then it absolutely won't be from the same dealer.
