It definitely leaves a bad taste in the mouth. My local dealer was perplexed when I turned up in the Cupra a couple of days ago. They weren't interested in helping me fix the Qi charging problem either. But then again DM Keith don't seem to be ever interested in anything. Fantastic car, annoying as hell. Doubt I'll be back in one after I'm done.

I think the problem is there is no clarity from Skoda - Most businesses won't stomach rental cars for any period of time leaving people in the lurch having to choose something that is in stock when they ordered in good time. I'm not sure when we came to accept 18+ month waits for what is essentially an everyday car. It isn't hand built and it isnt a Lambo. My last Octavia vRS was a factory order in 2016 and that arrived within 7 weeks. i've been lucky that someone ordered a top spec Cupra Formentor hybrid and couldn't fulfill in the end so i went from being cancelled to being in that in about 3 weeks. If they can't make the looms or whatever excuse it us they need to move production elsewhere.

No, our car lease team have. I've had a rental at extreme cost to the business and my tax. Can't keep waiting and waiting. Thankfully have a hybrid Cupra coming so not completely out of the vag fold. Real pr disaster for Skoda, was looking forward to getting into another Octavia after my last vRS. But here I am, back with the Spanish.

They're awful. Same boat!

Car was cancelled by our leasing company. They can't get it. Been told anything past certain date will need to reorder due to facelift and Skoda's inability to complete orders. Worked out ok, have a Hybrid Cupra coming instead which was a cancelled order so will be here end of the week. It's been a disaster for Skoda.

My car ordered in October 21 has now been officially cancelled! Looking for anything now! What a joke.

I'll show my arse in Burton's window if that's correct. 17 months and waiting for me too!

My 1.4 iv was ordered October 21. It's still not here. Company have put me in a ****box Astra that's rented from Northgate. Bumper hanging off, joints knocking. It's a dire situation and I can't really cancel as the equivalent is at least double now.

Hey!, Mine was ordered in October and i have been changed soo many times now. Think the latest update is 28th June. Thankfully i have a VWFS car so i've been able to extend my contract - although my mileage is now horrific, and i'm still not reaping the tax benefits of having a Hybrid. Sign of the times i suppose.

car arrived about 5 weeks ago all well and good (sort of) - as for Simpsons i have heard nothing from them since despite me contacting them regarding an issue with apple car play. Car collected on an absolutely abysmal day in torrential rain once i arrived home it was late evening, got up early hours to detail it and found 3 scratches on the drivers wing, door and rear door. Subsequently the wing has now been resprayed. Would not repeat custom.

Nobody could get remotely close, I'll let you know how it all went once it finally arrives.

Hello!, Just like to say hello to everyone over here at briskoda - i will soon be taking delivery of a new Octavia VRS tdi so i'll be floating around looking for tips and stuff. once i receive my car i'll post some pictures up! Cheers, Kel

I'm Nottingham based so once the car is collected I won't have any further dealings with them. Their lease deals are unbeatable so that was the only reason I chose them. Unfortunately for me my local dealer is a Sandicliffe - and I've got a really long and boring story as to why you should never, ever, ever buy a car from them.

I've just ordered a new Octavia VRS from these guys on that unbeatable lease deal. Purchase was pretty straight forward, fill this form in, await phone call & done. Hopefully should receive car around September 1st.
