Hop along

congratulations. Looks like a lovely car. I am hoping to place an order for the same colour myself and this has definitely whetted my appetitie.

Thanks to everyone for their input. Jonnb is correct in that the elegance spec in Ireland is very generous so a lot of the items you mentioned above are included as part of the spec. The dealer has one question not answered for me at present and it is about the retractable hitch. He says there is an issue with the manufacturer on these (didnt specify what the issue was) and he offered to fit one seperately. I was hoping to have this factory fitted to ensure it was as neat as possible. Does anyone know what the issue is re the hitches?

Hi all, Just joined the forum and am very impressed with the amount of detailed information that exists here. I was going to get an Opel Insignia as my new company car but upon driving the Skoda Superb, immediately changed my mind. I was really impressed with the car and, in my opinion, there is nothing in the price range that comes close to this car. So I am ready to order my car. I am going for the following spec: Skoda Superb Combi 2L TDI (170 BHP) Pacific Blue Metallic Ivory Interior Extras THEMISTO 7.5JX18 ALLOYS Sunset Tinted Glass Electric Heated Windscreen Premium Sound system Electrically Operated rear boot door MDI Variable Boot Floor SUNSCREEN REAR SIDE WINDOW Alarm Hitch Sunroof? KESSY (Keyless Entry) So my questions are as follows: RE the hitch, does anyone ave any views on the Skoda factory fitted detachable hitch? What type of socket is fitted? Thinking of the sunroof although the dealer advised that it would mean a lead time of 6 months which is putting me off as the car is due to change in February Any opinions on the merits of KESSY? Is it worth getting? Does the software for the Sat Nav come with the car? If not how much is it to purchase this and what regions to they cover? What are peoples opinions about the variable boot floor for the estate and also the aluminum holding kits. Are they worth investing in?

Just found this site on Google and very impressed with the quality and detail of content. I am in the process of changing a company car and was just about to order an Opel Insgnia Sports tourer when someone advised me to drive a Skoda Superb Combi. To be honest, it had never crossed my mind to buy a skoda but having driven it, the decision was very easy to have this as my next car. On roominess and refinement, it won hands down vs the Opel so I am happy to be joining the Skoda drivers club. I will post more detail on planned spec etc in the Superb section of the site.
