My stock Dragon Skin 220 had heated seats, heated windscreen, rear camera, Columbus system, wifi and front parking sensors. And 11 miles on the clock. So a decent spec stock 220 can be had. When I chose mine from stock several weeks ago the dealer had access to fourteen 220's in the country at the time so I had a fair choice. -

Yep the 220 Sportline is now only available from stock. Had the same issue with mine and had to cancel my order and go for a stock one. Managed to get a Dragon Skin Green one with 90% of the spec I wanted so very happy. Fab car, love it. Ask your dealer you might be lucky, mine was the only Dragon Skin one in stock in the UK a few weeks ago but more stock might have arrived. Good luck. -

Did I read somewhere on here that they also improve after 2500 miles? Looking forward to getting mine next month -

Cheers, going to look in to this once the engine is well and truly run in. Maybe after 1000 miles? -

Cheers! Hoping I haven't made a mistake with the colour as have still never seen one in the flesh :/ Hoping to get it in August. Will be brought up from the port this month but have to wait for my existing Golf to go back in August then swap over. -

I've read a few things on here about the pedal box, do you possibly have a link to the one you bought please @freelunch? Also, are they detectable and easily removed for servicing as my 220 will be a 3 year lease business car? Many thanks. -

Did consider the diesel but had my heart set on a 220 TSI. Thankfully however my dealer has managed to locate a stock 220 Sportline for me with 90% of the options I wanted so have decided to go for that. Understand it won't be for everyone but got a Dragon Skin Sportline which is what I really wanted! (Spent 3 months convincing myself I'm brave enough for the colour!) When he searched all the new 220's Skoda UK had in stock only 14 came up on his search, and only one of which was Dragon Skin. So it's likely I've got one of the very last Dragon Skin 220's in the country. Made up -

Hi, my dealer said the 280 was being replaced by a new 272 at the end of August so I could order that late summer but this was outside of my price/BIK range so I couldn't consider it. Also that would delay my new car which I need by August. He said that the 1.4 petrol had also gone to be replaced with the new 1.5 150 petrol in October but that could mean my car may not arrive till Christmas or the New Year. The 190 4x4 diesel was still technically available but he said it had already been removed on other Skoda models so he expected the same on the Superb any time soon. Looking at stock options at the moment and may test drive a 150 TDI 7 Speed which is the only engine option available to order at the moment, so i'm being told. -

First post here from a long time lurker on these boards since Feb, scoping out a potential new car. Is it common knowledge that the 220 is now no longer available? Found this out as I decide to go for a 220 Sportline Plus as a new company car 3 weeks ago (thanks to advice on here) and then was notified last week that Skoda have pulled the 220 engine ahead of the new EU emission standards which are coming in this year. Spoke to the dealer and all that he could offer me to order in Sportline Plus was the 150 diesel. All petrol options had gone and he believed it was likely the 190 diesel would be pulled shortly as well. Looking at alternatives at the moment...... may have to consider the diesel.
