The Superb III Picture thread

Actually I've started using sport mode !

Plan was to keep in D until oil upto temp then use full range of revs in manual mode upto 4.5k.

I've discovered Sport Mode does a pretty good job of that. Just careful not to exceed 4.5k.

Also hangs onto the gears longer which is what I want while in the 'running in' period....

Played on a twisty country road. Tried Comfort but too much wallow for the type of road. Tried Sport, came out of a double bend onto a short straight, opened the throttle slightly and it leapt up to 90. It's an animal in Sport. Best not do that again for a while!

Haha fantastic :-) I made a slight mistake overtaking a couple of cyclists. Thought I was in D but was actually in M 2nd gear. Broke my 4.5K limit and suffered organ compression :-D

Petrol blue...

Admittedly probably wouldn't look that good under normal light conditions, I.e gloomy British weather...

Steve.

I saw one outdoors at Arnold Clark in Paisley. It looked great.

Here are some pics I snapped in the fog this morning. The brown leather looks much darker in reality, the flash really accentuates it.

The older cars have a gear selection indicator in the top R/H corner of the Maxidot, can come in useful at times......

Came in handy today driving around a very foggy Essex, if only to see how long it would hang onto a high gear behind the trundlers....

 

I'll admit to leaving it in "D" most of the time, 'cos it's learned my "laid-back" / OAP driving style, but I do use the paddles as & when require, + "S" when the red mist returns! 

 

I'm wondering if the running-in info has changed since my car was made, I'll  have to read the manual....  

 

I wish happy early days to all you lucky early-adopters.

Looking forward I think I'll be using manual mode and the paddles most of the time with the odd flirt with D and sport mode for fun at the lights.

Loving dsg though. Im driving it exactly like a manual without messing about with that far left pedal ! What's it called again ?

[SC03OTT]

Superb Estate SE L Exec 150TDI Manual. Moon White metallic. 19" Sirus alloys, Hill Hold, DCC, Trizone climate, Light assist+HBC, Variable boot floor, Virtual pedal, Rear backrest release, KESSY.

It's not exactly the spec that I would have gone for but I needed a car fairly quickly and that was what was available. Picked it up today.

A pick of the interior.

Not that you can se it in this pic but it has the Alcantara/Leather mix.

I'm sure I've seen you around Dunfermline. At Tesco. I won't get more specific than that. Great looking car.

SE Business in business grey. Picked up Thursday week ago.

Edited 7 November, 2015 by Juvehero

[hulahoop7]

Business Grey is actually my favourite. Looks the dogs with the 19 inchers on the L&K

[Guest]

Nice, what are the wheels you have on there?

[Bugginbob]

Nice, what are the wheels you have on there?

Those are the standard stratos 17's that are causing all the delays with SE business models.

[Juvehero]

Yes, stratos 17's. Glad I put my order in early enough to avoid the shortage issue.

[peld]

are they just the standard headlights? dont look too bad there.........

[Juvehero]

Yip, boring old halogens.

I have been pondering on which colour to go for when my current lease ends and have considering a L& K petrol DSG in magnetic brown. I came across this site whilst looking for better images of the brown and they have images of the cars in all the colours available although I think some may be enhanced somewhat but still maybe worth a look. Interestingly they are still showing the Rosso Red which may of been a choice for me. http://www.teintes.fr/2015/04/skoda-superb-couleurs-colors.html

They are all CGI and not to put too fine a point on it they are not very accurate either (especially the Business Grey)

[Juvehero]

They look as if they've been lifted straight from the configurater gadget on the skoda website.

[Jim28270]

I think they're from the "visualiser" on the Skoda website, about half way down this page:

It gives a better impression than the configurator tool but they're definitely not real.

Brown is what I've gone for. Expecting delivery mid January so can't bring you a real life photo anytime soon.

Will defo be interested to see some pics of your car when you take delivery.

[Nick_H]

That's a nice touch... Mine was just stuck round the back of the showroom :-(
