Decided to join the skoda club!

I originally was after an Audi, but went for a drive in a vrs and was very impressed. Better all round car and with the 2.9%apr made it a whole lot cheaper than a Audi.

Anyway ordered the following:

Vrs diesel with DSG

Race blue

Colour maxi dot

Red stitching

Anthracite geminis

Panoramic roof

Leather seats

Winter pack

Sunset glass

Space saver

Black design pack

Been quote mid September for delivery but it's worth it.

Couple of questions though:

Are the xtreme alloys worth it? I like them but don't want the ride to harsh!

And I,ve got two golden retrievers, does the load cover double up as a net divider?

Welcome!

Nice spec, similar to mine but I won't have the sunroof or leather.

September delivery seems a tad pessimistic though, is that due to the sunroof?

Welcome to the forum.

 

Is it a Hatch or Estate?

 

Personally I like the look of the extreme alloys on the estate, although I'm not sure they are best suited to the hatch for some reason (just personal taste though).

 

Not heard about the load cover doubling up, I would doubt it though, personally speaking if I am ever in a position to get another dog I'll be investing in Rhinomats boot covers, otherwise my nice black interior will be grey/white in no time lol

 

I didn't go for the leather as I didn't think the quality of the leather was great, I've seen a few seats (there's a thread on there somewhere) look worn very quickly, and the sunroof was a non-starter as us Scots don't really get to see the sun :(

 

Nice spec though, I wanted the winter pack, however went for the Canton upgrade instead as I'll get more use out of it.

The load cover doesn't double as a divider/dog guard.

You can get a dealer fit one but it requires fittings to be screwed to the headlining.

There's a couple of threads on here if you have a look.

Fingers crossed it comes earlier than September!
