Yeah but I reckon the next superb will be better than the Passat..even more room and maybe a bit cheaper..just hope Skoda get the BiTDi.
Any news is the BiTDI coming to Supurb. My 170 L&K has a year to run but I want a BiTDI next!

I always drive forwards into bays. I don't see why people reverse in. You'd have squeeze the shopping trolley between cars to load your boot and with the length of the Superb you have to park right close to the car in front to fit in.
I can't help think its just a gimmick.
Reversing in is better for the environment. In a cold morning you are off in a jiffy and dont labour a cold engine. Reversing out leaves a cloud of fumes. If frosted over you are more likely not to reshape the car on a passing bus too!

Miljan, IanLeeds, what exactly is working for you? Do your mirrors fold only with lock button on remote or also with KESSY sensor on door handle?

Casar - did you get the mirrors shutting with KESSY?
-
I found the post, they say hold the handle for 5 sec and it is done - doesnt work on mine :(
-
About 2-3 sec is enough.

I have a 2014 L&K 170 4x4 model. As with all Supurbs if I hold the fob lock button the mirrors fold, however with keyless the keys are buried in a pocket. I want to fold the mirrors with the keyless locking of touching the door handle. Is there a VCDS code for this?
You help is appreciated
Thanks Nigel

That is a good lead time, I am ordered the same 3 weeks back (Capachino not Petrol BLue) and it is coming in in March. Agree with the sentiment this is my second, the first is the only car I have had that has not broken down for anything - well a bulb did blow the other day!. Previous was and A6 that needed 3 gearboxes in its life!
-
Yes that certainly helps with the awful look of the twin door hatch.

It clearly a matter of opinion, I always cringe when I see an estate, twin door any day for me!

I have a rechipped my 140 4x4 and it is getting aroung 180bhp and 56 mpg, thoroughly recommend http://www.unichipeurope.co.uk/ As it is a bolt on you buy it once and swap from car to car, just ordering a replacement - 170 4x4 and this will be the 4th move, original cost c £400. It is so smooth and so much more torque that yours will love to pull a caravan with it.

According to the interior features, it's even still got the umbrella!
I was excided when I got mine with the unbrella (yes I know its sad!). But 3 years on it is still in its plastic in the door, I keep a golfing unbrella in the boot and my wife likes to be coveres too!

What kind of 'chip' do you have. No probs with DPF?
I just found the manufacturer - www.unichipeurope.co.uk

I have Rosso Brunello and Ivory - 2.5 year old with 68k miles. At 50k I had the leather cleaned, but one in 3 years is fine. I wear a suit in the week and jeans at the weekend and have no serious dirtying!
-
I don't agree that any of those three are more desirable actually, particularly the Insignia.
Right with you there. The other significant point is the the Superb and Passatt compete in price but the Supurb is larger than an Audi A6, so in terms of value per cubic meter the Supurb is by far the best buy.

It is one that piggy backs the system. They charged £400 for it and then £70 to take it off and put on the next car. It comes out in 5 seconds! I swapped it from an Alfa to this one - no problems on either and so much smoother. I regularly get 58mpg on runs and over 50 most of the time, unless I feel the need to prove the suspension!

I love the sound of the mods - I've got the same car (L&K 140 DSG 4x4in Amethyst Purple) not sure I'll get the spend past SWMBO.
Enjoy the new car.
Thanks, what colour leather did you go for? Worth geting clearance somehow, the handling is out of this world, suprises everyone when you go around a roundabout at twice their speed while they are sliding off!!
-
Hear you on the brown leather, but reviews say it is an exclusing L&K colour! I will see....
I bought the springs and shocks from larkspeed: Bilstein @Front £122, rear £103 and H&S springs £158. I got Bobby from BTMM in Witney to install, did it all in a day ( when it was 1 day old!) a great mechanic and economic too! http://www.btmmechanics.co.uk
When I can work out how to post a photo I will add of it!

What happens to the mods when it's time to give the car back? I assume you have to take them off (ready for your new Superb)!
I had the leasing car co around and they said chuck out the standard springs as the auction house will not care, not worth taking them off. Also having done 100k I want new on the newq car!
-
Just read the brochure, rather then just looking at the photos
and yes brown leather in L&K spec is the option. Seats look great in the brochure, much better then on-line.Agreed of the seats, the configure on the web site is correct too!, just cant decide on Capiccino or Metalic Brown on the outside, current car in Brunnelo (spelling?) Red and the brown is not dissimilar, but I like the exclusive L&K colour! (perhaps I am being a snob!)

You have to get it though - A realy wonderful addition to motoring. That,Cruise Control and DSG are my not 3 must haves! Take it up with Skoda directly - they have the power to make an offer via a dealer.

My Car (140 bhp 4x4 DSG) is now two and a half years into its three year contract hire and has been great. Only in the garage for servicing. I fitted H&R springs (-40mm) and Bilstein B8 shocks and have it chipped to c 170 bhp. The road holding is out of this world and the chip is so smooth - regularly getting 58 mpg on long runs
I am planning the next - going for the 170 4x4 DSG in the L&K model with the same chip, springs and shockers. Hoping for over 200 bhp. Thinking of the Metalic Brown and Brown leather. Or Cappuccino with brown leather.
Have anoyone seen these colours?
Thanks

The Company I work for has a brand new Karoq with the same issue. It was in a main Skoda dealer for a day, they gave it back saying they found nothing!
