Well 2 weeks in and the car is great but had an acc failure in my way to Redhill which sorted itself out after I left Redhill. Also had a large red error message come up earlier this week in the centre of the virtual dash about sensors it something. That cleared on its own after about 20 seconds. The biggest irritation is the Skoda app. Worked ok for the first week but now fails to connect saying server down or no internet or try again. Seems a very poor implementation.

Hi All Just registered, have been lusting after a new Skoda Superb Estate for a few years and finally took delivery today of an SE Technology iV in petrol blue. I'm a huge fan of big lazy looking estate cars, how they look, handle and the sheer practicality. I placed an order for one 5 years ago as a company car but was pipped to the post by another employee so had to settle for an Insignia Sports Tourer which to be fair has been a great car. It was handed back today with 110k on it and apart from a couple of emission sensor issues over the 5 years, it's been a great tourer on the motorways and I'll miss it. It was a diesel often returning 55 mpg with a mix of cross-country and motorway journeys. I'm a great cycling fan, especially TdF so Skoda's profile in that respect is right up my street. Was delivered this morning with 55 miles on the clock and about 80% charge on the battery. I did a trip to Hanger Lane for a job that involved the A41 down to the M25 then the M40/A40. On returning home to Milton Keynes average mpg was reported as 65 which is pretty good I assume? I hadn't yet worked out all the regen settings so the trip there was set to eco but not any of the B settings. I set that for the trip home, not sure if that would make a difference on the average I got. Enjoying it so far but am a bit miffed that given the length of time from placing the order ( December 2022) to delivery the new model is about to be launched. I'm looking to get an external socket installed outside, purely for granny charging. Should I go with a standard weatherproof socket or something else? I have seen some posts about commando sockets and the like. Currently charging from a socket in the garage running under the garage door to the car. Would appreciate any advice before I engage an electrician to install the socket. Looking forward to sharing my feedback and advice I may need going forward
