[Current build times]

I`ve just been quoted 12 to 14 weeks for an SEL executive with a few extra`s like Kessy and LED interior lighting plus a few which are probably software tweaks.

Mmmm nice car  :clap:

Awesome pictures Superb170, that interior is just the cherry on the cake with that color. The reason i cannot have a beige interior is it`s not an option anymore, unless you go for Alcantara which is a zero cost option but we don`t really like it or you option Ventilated seats for £625 which also means you need to spec the electric passenger seat at £350 which is a whopping £975. Wish i could justify that cost but i can`t really, suppose my only real choice is to bite the bullet and go Alcantara OR see if the dealer can source a pre registered one with that combination.

 

I think the chances of me landing one from stock a really slim to none existent TBH

 

Can i just buy yours  :D

[Superb.....Almost there]

Superb170 more pictures would be great especially of the interior, CNC would love to see yours too. I would love the beige interior but it`s a no go i`m afraid unless i get alcantara, but the jury is still out on that one .

Ooo Goldfinger, can you post pictures of your spoiler please.

Nice one, thank you so much  :clap:

[Unlocking Hidden Treasures]

So, looking through these forums ( and they are brilliant by the way ) has done 2 things for me;

 

1. Made me decide a Skoda Superb is my next car, which will be finalized next week

2. Sparked my imagination regarding VCDS ( i think that`s what it`s called )

 

reading the various threads on here i was wondering what hidden treasures are available without having to pay for them, for example i have read if you spec the traffic sign recognition system adding the camera you can unlock various things like high beam assist for instance.

Now am i just getting carried away here as we all know you get nothing for free nowadays`s or is there some truth in it ?

 

Either way it will not change my mind on buying but has made my mind wonder a bit.

lol, cheers CNC, i think her indoors must be allergic to polish as she`s not touched a drop in 20 years ( prefers Gin ) Think my mind is made up now after trolling through all the pictures on here.

 

Going for Petrol Blue  :happy:

[Superb.....Almost there]

Took another trip to the dealers today and they have finally managed to track down a 220 tsi for me to test drive, drove a 190 TDi last week but really wanted to be sure about the petrol engine ( it`s a lot of money after all ). Hat`s of to the dealers who have bent over backwards to help, but now i have a new dilemma. Was set on Business grey, then was persuaded by photo`s to go for black, now the salesman has shown me a petrol blue and i have to say the color looks stunning but her indoors prefers the black. I hate making decisions like this lol

[Movies on the go !]

Wow thanks Guy`s, was a little confused as all the literature kept referring to it as a DVD drive but yeah i can understand it no playing on the move but the ability to be able to watch Starwars on my lunch is a winner for me ( lunch on the go in my job ).

[Movies on the go !]

Does anyone know if the DVD / CD in the glove box on the Superb plays video files ?? or even plays DVD disks.

[Superb looks nice!]

Wow they do look the part plus her indoors likes them over the leather. I did notice on the test drive if you push the car the full leather seats don`t really hold you that well, where as the Alacantara would grip better. Similar story in my Audi.

[Superb.....Almost there]

Psycholist, the adaptive cruise control is included as standard in the UK, so thats good to hear about the hidden treasures in the VCDS.

[Superb looks nice!]

Debating whether to spec those seats on mine over the full leather option.

[Superb.....Almost there]

I am now debating whether to stick with full leather or go with Alcantara, but staying with the black. A bit worried about the leather been hot in the summer months.

[Superb.....Almost there]

Thanks Guy`s, 

 

The sales rep was adamant that beige leather is not an option unless you chose ventilated seats and i cannot add it on the web so i guess it must be a UK thing. Superb170 the electric boot is included as part of the SEL trim so no need to add it here :-)

[Superb.....Almost there]

So after almost 3 months of test driving everything known to man i have finally decided to trade in my trusty Audi Q3 for a Skoda Superb. We are so near to signing but there are just a few things i`m not too sure about, below is the spec i have decided with a few options ticked to make what i think is a phenomenal car.

 

Superb TSI 220 SEL Executive hatch DSG Auto

Black Magic Pearlescent

Kessy keyless entry & Start

Color maxi dot computer

LED package plus

DSG paddles

Rear View Camera

 

 

What do you guy`s think of the spec ?

Is there anything else you would add / take off ?

The guy in the showroom told me although it shows it on the configurator, Beige leather is not an option unless i add ventilated seats or choose alcantara seats. Is this right as i`ve seen other posts where it says the beige leather option in now back on as a free option ?

 

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated, and will help push the pen closer to the dotted line :-)

[Octavia III Facelift]

New VRS looks just as bad, was gonna order one next week but now i`ve seen the photo`s im going for the Suberb instead. Don`t care how much faster the new one is, it looks rubbish
