Hi, Fieldays (June this year I think) - they always throw around good deals (although it looks like it may be cancelled this year due to Covid-19). There's normally good discounts and 5 years servicing, etc. thrown in. I actually used an archived copy of their website on Google to show what they had offered a few months before, and they honoured it. Given the current financial climate I would expect to see some deep discounting coming in the next few months. Worst case go direct to Skoda NZ rather than a dealer and hit them up. They will discount to the dealer so it can be passed on. Cheers, Jim.

Recently installed a Stealth pedal box on my Sportline 280 - https://www.revhigh.com.au/all-brand-stealth-throttle-controller- for NZD$250 (About GBP135). Vast difference. Still notice the turbo lag over my other NA cars, but definitely helps. I've got a very lead foot but only have it set to level 4 for normal drive (from a possible 13). For the price its an excellent option, particularly for those of us in the southern hemisphere where shipping and GST can make it quite expensive to import a DTUK box or similar. Looks like they've got plenty of stock if anyone wants one - https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/electronics/listing-2255669211.htm?rsqid=2a4235e076624a5a995ed7fe40098616-001

35% VLT for everything apart from the windscreen in NZ

After 5 months waiting it finally arrived...Velvet Red Sportline 206kW on its first run to Kaiaua for fish and chips. None of the photos really capture the red very well. Now it just needs the front windows tinted to match.

Hey, Small world :-) Wait for a factory order is about 4 months. I got offered some standard stock 206kw Sportline wagons for $57k in normal colours like White. Black, Silver. They are also bringing in 162kw Sportlines as a special edition for $49k. Everyone is buying Kodiaq's at the moment so there's good pricing on the Superb. Cheers, Jim.

Hey, I'm from Auckland - born and bred, but was conceived in Dorset (apparently I have Made in the UK stamped on my butt (pommie parents). For a 206kw wagon list price is NZD$69,990 (GBP36,000) - but as usually happens for Euro cars in NZ, they only import high spec. cars as standard as that's what's in demand. With a bit of a push they've taken $9,000 off that and discounted the extended warranty too - so it ends up around mid $60k with the options added. So that means as standard we get: Sportline Alcantara Leather interior, Sports Seats with integrated headrests in black Triple Zone Air Conditioning Navigation ‘COLUMBUS’ Infotainment System w/ Smartlink+ incl. Android Auto and Apple Carplay, 8” Screen Front & Rear heated seats Virtual Pedal – automatic gesture opening of tailgate ‘CREW PROTECT ASSIST’ Proactive protection for driver & front passenger Front & Rear Parking Sensors and Rear-View Camera ‘KESSY’ Keyless access with engine start/stop button Electrically opening/closing tailgate Virtual Pedal – automatic gesture opening of tailgate Adaptive cruise control including Front Assistant emergency braking ‘LANE ASSIST’ & ’BLIND SPOT DETECT’ using multifunction camera ‘LIGHT ASSIST’(Coming/Leaving Home, Tunnel Light, Day Light)+ rain sensor Rest Assistant (Drowsiness detection from driver steering input) Dynamic Chassis Control with ‘Driving Mode Select‘ ‘PARK ASSIST’ with parallel park button Front Fog Lights with Corner Function Bi-Xenon headlights, AFS, LED ‘DAY LIGHTS’, dynamic angle, telescopic headlight washers “SUNSET” tint for side & rear windows from B pillar back Electric side mirrors with memory, heated, folding, auto dimming functions Sports flat bottom steering wheel with ‘Tiptronic’ DSG gear paddles Electric seats for driver & passenger, lumbar support, driver memory function LED Ambient Lights, reading lamps front/rear, illuminated interior door handle Remote folding of rear backrest from luggage compartment Colour ‘MAXI DOT’ - Multi-function colour dash display Sound System CANTON – 10 speakers + Subwoofer & digital equaliser 19” ‘VEGA’ Anthracite Alloys Towing preparation 3 year warranty I'm adding: Velvet Red $1500 Digital Instrument Panel $1,000 Progressive Steering $600 Acoustic Glass $900 5 years extended warranty Nets, etc. The only thing I'll miss switch over from my BMW E61 550i wagon really is the heads up (and the rumble of the V8) - but given a new one of those is twice the price in NZ it means I can spend the difference on my other toys. Its definitely the most cost effective wagon I could find that will still do 0-100kph in under 6 seconds - a key requisite ;-) Cheers, Jim.

Hi, Just waiting on a build/delivery date for a MY19 206kw Sportline wagon. Interesting to see how lucky we are in NZ as the Sportline here comes with pretty much every option as standard, and I've added the new digital dash, progressive steering, acoustic glass, etc. Hopefully the wait isn't too long, looking forward to both it arriving and joining the forum. Cheers, Jim.
