Price gone up already? £32,285 in latest brochure for petrol DSG hatch. Was £31,495 in the November brochure.

Adaptive Cruise Control is standard. £685 gets you 'Travel Assist' which includes 'Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control' amongst a few other things. Agree though that £595 for the rear view camera is way too much.

Own your own brand new Octavia Mk4 vRS for less than £30. Any colour you like, as long as it's red!! http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/Diecast-models/Octavia-IV-Combi-RS-official-Skoda-Autoas-1-43-diecast-model-VELVET-RED

You should be able to download a pricelist from the link below that features the iV models https://www.skoda.co.uk/discover/download-a-brochure

Columbus sat nav is standard on the new vRS.

I was quoted similar to what you paid by dealers at the time (about 5 years ago). Think they are a bit cheaper now though, on eBay.

Depends how cheap you want them. I got some genuine OEM rubber ones for my Mk3 from Superskoda for €40 (about £36) plus delivery.

Hybrid iV version now on UK configurator. Hatchback priced from £35,020

Personally I would not trust the configurator. In my experience where there is a discrepancy between the configurator and the official price list it is usually the price list that is correct. I would download the latest price list from the Skoda website and go with that. Unfortunately the variable boot floor and electrically adjustable seats were standard for the SEL First Edition models, but not the 'regular' SEL models.

Not easy to tell for sure from the photo, but it looks like Velvet Red to me.

The £2k deposit contribution should definitely be achievable. But not all brokers can match Drive The Deal, so by that reasoning not all dealers will. It's been a while since I bought new from a dealer, but the last time I tried my local couldn't (or wouldn't) get within £1k of Drive The Deal.
