You didn’t have a mobile phone years ago or remote control tv or the internet all of which I guess you would find an inconvenience not having it’s called technology and times move on and things improve

I ordered a vrs earlier in the year but cancelled due to being offered a golf r for very similar monthly payments. I can assure you it isn’t just Skoda keeping you in the dark with information vw have no communication at all online chat has been removed the dealers get information once a week from the factory which you have to chase up as they don’t contact you. since my June order I’m on my fourth unconfirmed build date I’ve had to chase my arse trying to get that information each time as nobody tells you a thing. my most recent proposed date is feb 2022!

Dcc and blind spot were the options I’ve been told will delay the build even longer so I would be best to not have them ive fell out of love with the car before I’ve got it! To much of being messed around Also now in theory I’m getting a car I didn’t order in the first place so I spat my dummy out got refunded my deposit and now I’m starting again

I ordered my vrs in April in meteor grey but the order got messed up salespersons mistake then to be told I can’t have the colour as it’s discontinued I then had a build date of august in new chosen colour of hyper green and a few options ive now been told I can’t have some of my choices due to the chip shortage and the estimated build time is now October. ive now cancelled my order and staying with vag group got myself a fab deal on a new 2022 spec golf r

Hi stitchy try these I’m not 100 pc sure if they still do cameras as they specialise in trackers etc fleetcomms.co.uk based in Ossett 👍

I’ve just sold the fiesta st performance edition 11 months old for a grand more than I paid for it to the dealer I got it from! I wanted the focus st estate but the price plus being told next year for availability kinda changed my mind im waiting for my octavia vrs to be built I’ve had different dates and different stages then it all changes so I’m expecting it maybe September to November? it doesn’t matter as we have my wife’s st and my work van so we can get around the octavia boot is massive and I have two dogs so that was a definite incentive for me plus the spec and price via car configuration sites made it a no brainer I also looked at merc cls estate but they had to many miles on the clock for the same price as the Skoda

It looks nice.. if you can get a good deal then happy days ahead 🥳

hi Jerry57 welcome to the forum the superb will be a great improvement in comfort and space over the st. have you got a delivery date yet. 😎

hi and welcome what model have you both purchased?

Hi Mike welcome to the forum great choice the vrs just hope your not in a rush to get it! 😎

If you cancel what are your options? will you get your deposit in full returned? what car would you want as your 2nd choice? if new would you not still be in the same predicament as you are now. my car has been put back ordered beginning of may told September for delivery now told December but I’m ok with that I have a work van and my wife has a car so no problem i guess it all depends on your personal situation it’s a global issue and has no quick fix

I’ve just sold the fiesta st performance edition (the orange one) which had coilover suspension it was a bit more passenger friendly over the standard st plus you could adjust manually the settings to your personal choice to fine tune I found it was a car that made me smile every time I drove it fast in corners and in a straight line or track day if your that way inclined i only sold it because I had an offer I couldn’t refuse from a dealer plus I needed something bigger as my circumstances had changed good luck with your search I don’t envy you with all the great cars out there,

If you are looking at purchasing another new car made to order you will be back at square one so maybe just stay put and wait for what will be a fantastic car (once the bugs and gremlins have all been sorted!) 😎

get a fiesta st or Toyota Yaris gr both corner like a house fly and go like the proverbial #*#* off a shovel not much boot space but horses for corses as they say
