Just ordered a white Monte Carlo 1.2 TSI with red interior, saw a silver one with grey trim but it looked odd with the red stitching on the steering wheel and brake leaver.Got to wait six weeks for delivery.First Skoda I have owned ( hope they are reliable.)

Nice one. I really liked the red stitching myself

6000 miles on my TSI and counting. Runs like clockwork, it has been faultless.

Take delivery of a Monte 1.2tsi 105 on Thursday morning. Have bought the Dealers' showroom model in red with red interior. Extras are climate, bluetooth, armrest & cruise control.

Role on 9am thursday!!!

The armrest is possibly the most useless option I've ever seen. When you put it down, you cannot operate the handbrake, and it interferes with gearchanging. It's a motorway-only job.

Mine is permanently in the vertical position, I won't miss it at all.

Climate and cruise are good things though

Totally agree, it's a total pain in the a*se. Car comes with it (no choice) would sooner have had a spare wheel!! I will look to see if the armrest is held in using the standard fixing points as per the standard console as I would prefer to remove it !!
