'NEWS FLASH' as in the kind of news you find out about in a newspaper, printed the next day?

Thanks, I ordered my car Tuesday, was quoted the old prices, which from memory were still on their website, so I guess I am getting a 2015 car for 2014 money cool

Maybe not as the order would have to be placed with Skoda by the 28th to get the previous pricing.

So, prices are about a grand more than this time last year, but you get basic CC and some different badges thrown in. PCP deals are also not as attractive and 3-years free servicing seems to have gone, but cash discounts should be about the same. 

[Yogi-Bear]

Rightyho... the configurator is back online, and it's showing the vRS with the flat bottomed steering wheel.

 

It's also showing the CC still on the stalk, not on the steering wheel (as it is on the Golf Mk7).

[Yogi-Bear]

And folding mirrors are on there as a £100 option.

 

Huzzah!  :love:

 

(edit: but to select them, you have to also add electric seats, and to add them you have to add leather, and if you add leather you have to add heated seats.  So total cost is £100+£700+£600+£200 = £1600!).  Boo Hiss.

Could be easier to retrofit the mirrors once the parts, wiring and coding is figured out though.

Yeah, I was beginning to wonder if that would now be a possibility.

Which is strange and just a way for SkodaUK to make more money, as they are the one imposing the packages on you. I've had folding mirrors with auto-dimming functionality on my Elegance without anything else needing selection.

Trekster, folding mirrors with auto-dimming functionality are standard on UK spec Elegance

[CJSVRS]

Also offering chrome window surrounds on a VRS.

I also noticed that as you go into the configurator after you select VRS and before you click 'configure my car' it states the VRS has 'cornering Foglights with darkened surround as standard'. But it still has cornering fogs as a £100 option in the configurator.

This may not have changed, but I just noticed it.

Flat bottom steering wheel? Not sure i like it!

 

Anyway by the time they build mine it will probably be a 2016 model!

Which makes it even stranger why they would like to charge the vRS owners 1600£ for them. As really all that is needed for them to work is the appropriate door controller and nothing else!(for the auto-dimming rain/light sensor is required too)

Where is the option for electric seats on vrs? I cant see that.

On the hatch, fourth row - on the right.

On the estate, sixth row - in the middle.

[toni8b]

I cant run the configurator (it says its currently unavailable) I can only see this page: http://www.skoda.co.uk/models/new-octavia-vrs-hatch/equipment

[ajtrader100]

Now have front and REAR heated seats. Damn it. Already ordered mine via a company lease co.

Don't need them... I don't sit in the back... 

 

In all seriousness, the people who do sit in the back of my car are the kids, on their booster seats, so heated rears would be pointless... maybe I should go on Dragon's Den with heated booster seats!

Ok, I see them now.

Very true. But I have to take customers in mine - would be nice for them i suppose

Are they auto dimming on the Elegance?

In my defence, I have been away for 3 months, so havent seen the car in that time. With it being fairly new when i left it, I'll need to re familiarise myself when i get back!!!

[andyvee]

Mine aren't auto dimming, but mine is a launch weekend car so it is a little odd spec wise compared to the brochure

First offence?

L&K 4x4 nearly 29K ouch!!!

 

Glad I ordered my SE 4x4 before Christmas going on the two recent price rises; despite gremlins in the electrics.

 

Oh just looked at the new brochure and you can now get a 'sports' pack for the SE, chrome window surrounds are back and the Rough Road Pack seems to be now available on the 2wd in S and SE trim rather than just 4x4, plus front park sensors; would have liked those.
