Looks good and a nice upgrade over the Elegance spec.

Dam! That looks soo nice. Shame I've just brought an elegance

Looking at the wheels though, I'm not to keen on those, and the chrome grill actualy looks a bit cheesy, but the rest is great.

Phew , I really considered waiting for the L&K to be released before ordering mine, personally I am glad I didn't wait now as although it is a nice spec (most of which I added anyway) there are a few below that I would not be happy with:

I'm just thinking... if the L&k has a TV Tuner, do you think dealers could source and fit the TV bits into a standard Columbus? would the price be ridiculously high???

The TV tuner is an external module, just like the bluetooth and not fitted inside the columbus. The TV tuner has been available in a number of markets from the Superbs release 3 years ago.

ye i know about that, i was just thinking that if skoda themselves did it, it would be a bit more official. if you know what i mean... :p

I agree with Gizmo, some good stuff in there, but I'm not sure I like the whole package.

Although I did really want a sunroof and it wasn't an option when in ordered, the other stuff I could take or leave.

Those Sirius wheels look like the Vicenza that is a cost option on the Passat SE / Sport.

That grill would be a complete deal killer for me on that package. Though it seems a rather good value, and the brown leather seats might not be so bad.

wow!! a top spec 3.6v6 4x4 combi with an L&K pack will push it close to 33k!!!

I like the lady with the hat ...she's had to open the window to be able to fit the hat!

I was thinking the same about the hat Leon

I could actually see myself in a 3.6 L&K after another 2 years in the SE Plus TSi, or maybe a 2.0TSi and Sharked not from new, but there would be some good deals on ex demo 3.6's or cars under / around 12 months old.

In the grand scheme of things, 33k as a new price, for the amount of kit it's packing (save for the Grillus Horrendous) is a relative bargain comparing it to other marques ........ 33K for a Skoda though ..... it'll never work

Brown leather?! - Erm, I'm still in my 20's - Thanks, but no.

The Piano Black dash inserts however, I do like!

It seems from the brochure that the L & K is only available in magnetic brown?

There are a couple of errors I've noticed in the brochure. After the SE Plus, it lists standard equipment over Elegance when I though that should be over S, and listed in standard equipment for this model is sunset glass. I thought maybe they've upped the spec and made it standard, but you then see it in the factory options list for all models except L & K.

SE Plus has standard equipment over the SE, and Sunset glass is standard on SE plus, the brochure is a bit misleading in places, like the SE Plus GSM2 telephone preparation. It's not "real" GSM II Phone prep, it's built into the Amundsen Plus head unit as it has 4GB of Flash storage for phone books etc.

How much is a 3.6 V6 to get ex-demo then?

I found a low mileage 1.8TSI SE for £13K the other day which tempted me greatly

Still a lot of money I guess, but there must be some haggling

Well yeah I suppose, but for what your getting 19K for that is still a bargain.

I bet a Passat R36 (OK not QUITE the same kind of car....) would be a fair chunk more expensive...

How much is a 3.6 V6 to get ex-demo then?

If you can wait until a few company cars are sold on then I would imagine you could pick one up for peanuts as the fuel and tax will put most people off from owning them.

I might blag one in a couple of years though Giz' I do a fair amount of mileage, but very little around town, mostly distance work so it could work

No doubt - not to mention the insurance - Group 30 for a 3.6 compared to 21 for a 1.8TSI 4x4....

Don't think you'll find many V6 as company cars, dread to think what the BIK will be.

Yes, sorry. I meant to say the SE Plus has equipment over the SE and not the S.

However, why does page 20 of the brochure say that sunset glass is a factory option at £225.00 on the SE Plus if it is standard equipment?

The spec says it has four valves. Do two of the cyliners not have any valves?

OK, I'm being pedantic as I know it means 4 valves per cylinder, but they don't make it very clear!

Not in my twentys! but agree with Al.
