I picked up my one on Wednesday and have just done 1000km and I'm very very impressed so far. Its the wifes car but I've been doing the driving and it really does feel like a big luxury motor. Only complaint so so far is that it does not have electric memory seats .. we went with this style model (top level in Ireland) and previous top level skodas I have bought came with electric memory seats .. so it was my fault I didn't spec it but really disappointed it wasn't standard. Other than that the DSG box is as good as I remember from my GTI back in the day, park assist is great and easy to use just like my superb. The whole skoda connect and infotainment system (columbus) will take a bit of learning.

The dealer was talking to my wife and said he was expecting the car on friday evening .. not sure if it arrived.

just got a message to say mine is due in to the docks today; kinda unexpected .. i'd ordered it first week in April and after radio silence for a good while I was resigned to getting it in and around october. Hoping it won't take more than a week as we are due to go on a nice road trip next thursday for a week and it would be nice to give it a good run out. 7 Seater, 2.0TDI 150ps, 2wd, Business Grey with black leather. (Located in Ireland btw)

I ordered the wife's one in week 1 march and didn't think much of chasing it up as we weren't in too much of a hurry; Initially was told around the middle of June ... checked with the dealer on friday and by the sounds of his email it looks as if he hasn't even a build date yet .. said he would get back to me today with more details. Located in ireland

ordered one for wife this week 150bhp TDI - 2wd - DSG - 7 Seater - Quartz Grey - Style Just added on the retractible tow bar, full leather and park assist. Been told to expect it in June - haven't gotten the build week yet. The only decision really to make was 2wd or 4wd - she has been driving a 4x4 Octavia Combi for the last couple of year and the 4x4 has been nothing more than a waste of fuel. really looking forward to getting this now .. will compliment my 2011 Superb Combi on the drive - the superb is just approaching 300,000km on the clock

I had the problem a few weeks ago .. but it seems to have corrected itself. Mind you the main problem with this is that I am 5' 10" and the misses is about 4" 8" .... many a time I have taken her key by accident and gotten in to the car and within seconds the seats have me stuck to the windscreen .. have given a few people a laugh in random carparks !!

it was done by hand alright, I don't really trust the MDI. I had just over a quarter of a tank left on arrival. To add to the mix, yesterday I did a bit of touring and drove about 300km on back roads, dual carriageways (no motorways) and the MDI figure showed an economy figure of 4.5l/10km (63mpg) .. while I know this isn't accurate it was based on driving in and around 90km/h (55mph or so).

I've just completed the first 'real' trip in my new Greenline Combi, from Dublin down the west cost of France via Roscoff. A total of 980km (612 miles), the trip was a mix of everything from 80mph+ cruising on motorways, back roads, urban driving and a horrendous 10 mile french tailback on a motorway. By a brim to brim calculation I achieved a consumption of just over 5l/100km (56.5mpg), considering the vast bulk of this driving was at about 145km/h (90mph) with three people and a full boot I was quite amazed. The comfort factor was another thing altogether, after the guts of 4 years of driving a MKV GTI and doing similar road trips I was almost shocked at the difference. The GTI was in hindsight a very uncomfortable car for long drives. So the savings on fuel will pay for an extra beer of two while over here.

I actually have an old 2GB SD card and I threw four folders on to it and it picked it up right away !!!

I am at my wits end. I have a 6 week old Superb with the columbus unit and to date I still can not get any tunes to be read. I wasn't too pushed streaming from the iphone up to now but next week I am heading to the south of france and will need as much music as possible. To date what I have done to no avail is: Converted my itunes library on my OSX Machine to all MP3 files (what a pain in the nuts that was) Transferred 15GB in 420 folders to my 16gb Kingston SDHC Card Columbus never even blinked when this was installed, as if nothing was there. I then decided that I should re-format the card to FAT32 on my HP Notebook and transferred the files back again. Still nada, nothing on the columbus. I then re-arranged the 420 folders in to 4 header folders and the rest as sub folders. Still nothing. Am I barking up the wrong tree or just missing something simple ???? Help ..please

My Greenline Combi Elegance (only options Hill Hold & TPM, Spare Wheel) ordered in January and took exactly 10 weeks from order to PDI. I'm Dublin based.

I got my combi in Russo Brunello as well .. after years of having black and silver cars I decided something different this time around. I never got to see a combi in RB in the flesh but ordered it. When I was going to the dealer to pick the car up I must admit I got nervous thinking i made a mistake, but when I saw it there shiny and new on the forecourt I knew I made the right decision !!!

I had a MKV Golf GTI for over three years with the Flappy Paddles and after the first few times very rarely used them .. except when alone in the car and having a bit of fun .... they are nice but in reality 99% of the time you won't even consider using them.

My Combi was ordered in January and I got a 10 week lead time from the dealer in Dublin, which was bang-on.

I am a week and a half in to my ownership of a Greenline Combi (elegance) and I would echo the sentiments above. However, I am coming from a MKV Golf GTI and the difference between 200bhp and 105bhp was my biggest concern, so far I am not too dissapointed. I have come to the realisation that I only used the power because I had it not because I needed it. The golf served a purpose as a fun pocket rocket but now the superb is serving the requirment of a super efficient family wagon and dog carrier !! I will be buying something silly later in the year for the weekends (boxter or JCW Mini) .. but as an economic comfy cruiser the Skoda will do me for the moment.
