Appreciate your input! You are right, the engine is most important... drove about 400 km today in my Octavia RS 220, and really "tested" it -and 220 petrol is SO great. Hope it will be almost same feeling in the Superb 220, not in handling of course -but in acceleration. So, it looks like my choice will be the L&K 220. The few minuses are the suspension (a little too soft with DCC?), and the leather seats, but I could live with that. Now let's see if my boss agrees :-)

The idea is good, but with the options I want the price will be about the same... Some of them (i.e. Webasto, Canton) are included in L&K, at least in Sweden. Also, my favourite alloys (Trinity 19" anthracite) can only be chosen with L&K. And black roof lining which I like a lot. It's not easy... :-) /Hasse

Thanks for your input!! Understand about the differences, I believe the Sport Suspension is more stiff then (which I like...). Progressive steering is a must for me anyway! I'll see what the decision will be... It's a company car, and I have a budget... so I have these two alternatives: 1. Sportline 190 Diesel 4x4 with sport suspension. 2. L&K 220 TSI with DCC and a number of extra options. I just love the 220 engine, so I belive that's the most important -and I have to accept DCC... Thanks again! /Hasse

Hi, I've had the Octavia RS I, RS II, Superb 200TSI, and now Octavia RS III (2015 model). Drives pretty much, has it as a company car. Now I'm planning to very soon order a Superb L&K Hatch. Diesel is not my thing, so the 220TSI is what I want. 19 inch wheels. Want to try a Superb again, and some of the (small) reasons are the amazing Smart Light Assist, the great Canton sound -and of course a lot more... Some questions if anybody have info about this: Is the driving experience (and/or springs) with the option"Sport Suspension" about the same as DCC in Sport mode ? (in my country L&K has DCC as standard, but I want a pretty stiff suspension and am considering Sportline with Sport Suspension and not DCC just because of that) I have driven the Sportline with DCC (19 inch wheels), and didn't like other than the "Sport" setting... that was ok for me. Do you think the DCC in Sportline compared to the DCC in L&K gets "exactly" the same driving experience ? Leather seats is standard in L&K, but I like Alcantara more... have the last days seen in some configurators that Alcantara is an option for the L&K. Anyone heard about that ? If I choose the L&K and are forced to have leather seats, I will include the ventilated seats option... anyone with experience there ? About Amundsen compared to Columbus... is i.e. Amundsen Navigation slower than Columbus, and are there other huge differences ? I don't care about 8 or 9,2", Google Earth, harddrive or WLAN. I use a tablet installed above the infotainment for TV, videos and more. In fact I like the looks more with Amundsen... Well, that's the questions for now. Thanks for a great forum! Best, Hasse

I'm 100% sure the car was built week 30. Maybe it can be different depending on for which market, I'm im Sweden. Well well, no big deal. Just a small badge.

Mine is flat-bottomed with a badge, and it was built week 30. Car (RS TSI) arrived today.

Wrong post.

Hi Steve, Sorry for the late answer. Yes, my Superb had 2+2 tail pipes at delivery. It was standard on the 2.0 TSI DSG. Also, mine is a hatchback and the small hatch spoiler was also there as standard. No more differences in equipment compared to the 1.8 TSI -except for the engine of course... Good luck with your car, I love mine!! 4800 km in 3 weeks now. /Hasse

Hi, I am since 2 weeks a proud owner of a 2.0 TSI, 200 PS DSG. I have earlier tried the 1.8 TSI, and didn't think the difference would be that much with the 40 PS extra... but, I was wrong, You can definately feel the difference, the 200 PS is absolutely lovely!! In the first 2600 km, the board computer has shown an average consumption of 8.2 litres per 100 km. Maybe you have to convert that to find out if it´s "good or not". I have driven mostly "country-roads", but also some city driving. And of course tested the kick-down a lot... Good luck!! /Hasse

Now I´ve seen my car for the first time. I was a bit surprised when I saw that the small spoiler on the trunk was there. Suppose it's standard on the 2.0 TSI DSG hatchback then. The 4 exhaust pipes are there, but you don't see them too good here. I will post better photos later. photo 1 photo 2 Here it is with standard wheels, they will be changed before delivery the coming week. /Hasse

By the way, check your PM inbox. I sent you one before with some links. Don't know if it´s allowed to post links to advertisements here.

No problem at all! It's hard to say about the colour, best is of course to see it live. Note: see it in daylight, outside if possible. Anyway, I'm sure it will be a nice choice! I will se mine tomorrow morning, when it arrives to my dealer.

Your car will be a nice one, I'm sure! Here you have some more pictures of the Mocha Estate: Mocha 1 Mocha 2 Mocha 3 Mocha 4 (links might work only for some time) In my opinion, the Rosso Brunello with Ivory Leather is really great combination!! When you see them in daylight, the Rosso Brunello looks more exclusive... but that might be only my opinion. Good luck!

Okay, yes I've heard that it was time for it in UK. Strange that there are that much difference between countries. If anybody is interested, I can write some words about it in a week. Mine will be delivered earlier than expected, it will arrive at the dealer tomorrow.

Of course you are right about the serious and good tests, we all should be happy that they are made. I haven't read that magazine that much, but for sure they are nationalistic. And... we are happy that Volvo and Saab exists. I accept that they write some bad things about the Superb, still I choose it. I know that it's a good car.
