Octavia Brakes.
Every car I've ever driven had different pedal feel, even different cars of the same model, some bite early some bite late, some bite hard others smoothly, as long as the brakes work you should be able to adjust to how they work.

AM missing on Bolero?
Can I ask what do you need AM for? I'm sure you can find any radio station on the planet online at this point, much better quality too. Just use android auto/carplay.

Octavia Brakes.
Okay, now I'm convinced, you guys are crazy. You drive on the road like it's formula 1, measuring braking distances...

MkIV Vs Mk3 vRS Estate - Roadnoise!
New Octavia is on 225x45x18, so even fatter and narrower. But it also depends on the actual thread.

Delivery times?
You lose out even more at this point since if you cancel you can't order anything with a discount anymore. Prices going up, no one does any deals.

Canton Sound System Upgrade
That's crazy. Maybe UK is getting their options changed to receive more cars, Canton option is still available in other configurators.

Canton Sound System Upgrade
What does that even mean? What kind of compensation will you get? I don't see how they could change your options by just claiming "we don't have them". I ordered an RS with Canton in May and I have not received any calls or letters of the sort.

LED Matrix headlights.
If you leave it in auto it will automatically deploy high beam if it decides the conditions are right and you go faster than 30km/h, which basically means it will always be high beam as long as there are no street lights.

Delivery times?
I recently got an update and they told me there is no date. There is plenty of logic, car needs thousands of parts and there are many combinations possible and they have hundreds of suppliers, everyone is having issues so it becomes a mess.

LED Matrix headlights.
Modern headlights are just bright as hell even without high-beams, it's confusing.

Skoda Servers will be down from 25.1.2021 until 29.10.2021.
Oh no, some additional online features aren't going to work for 4 whole days.

Park Assist
It's not standard, the button is just being reused for other parking assist systems.

VRS passenger seat adjustment query
Pretty sure it can't be adjusted. If you haven't ordered at this point I'd suggest looking at a Sportline Superb. It would have normal seats and maybe if you ordered now you could get one before 2023.

Canton Sound System Upgrade
Interesting. I thought Octavia had 160mm speakers like it used to, but I guess they downsized for this generation. Also it took me two minutes of looking to figure out why your doors have no midrange speaker and only then I saw that there is no Canton logo. 🤣

Hybrid 1.4L Skoda Octavia 2021
Does it even have those functions?

Replacement Alloys
Dezent TR Series look fantastic to me and there are 17 and 18 in OEM sizes. Pretty cheap too. https://www.dezent-wheels.com/EN/products#!wheel=dezent-tr-black https://www.dezent-wheels.com/EN/products#!wheel=dezent-tr-dark https://www.dezent-wheels.com/EN/products#!wheel=dezent-tr-silver

Difference in year models
Differences are extra packages on the vRS model and some other options became available. Also the available colours changed. If you spec two cars the same there would be no differences.

Delivery times?
Does UK count in EU fleet emissions? Or not anymore?
-
Delivery times?
It seems like there is a very clear priority on EV's, plug-in models and diesels, VAG doesn't want to pay any fines for fleet emissions this year.

Skoda 1.5 TSI ACT
Oh I wouldn't worry about that. They have known about this for about two years now and nothing has been done.

Flashing red light on keyless key fob
Are you seriously going to bother asking for a 1£ battery?
-
Delivery times?
Also they just released a statement saying that they will heavily prioritise unfinished cars they already have instead of making new ones, so if you missed the queue like me you will probably have to wait till 2022.

Anyone gone for the new colour?
Pretty sure it's only the software and it works well enough on the recent patches. Remember that there are hundreds of thousands of them already on the road.
