Loving this superb, I was tempted away from ŠKODA by a Kia Optima 4 & the 7 year warranty, but despite the Kia being a great car I just couldn’t quite get comfortable in it. So now back with a Superb L&K and it’s fantastic. Only thing I’m missing from the optima is the heated steering wheel so maybe at some stage will look at retro fitting one if that’s possible.

My facelift model Suberb arrived just over a week ago. I'm well happy. And props to Paul Fox at Rainworth Skoda for his excellent service. 

 

`props`?

Perhaps he was jealous or just taking the PISTE.

Like the reg, do you really have qualifications (other than being able to ski backwards on one leg, with a loose boot, drinking 1664)

Picked up on Thursday, my 2017 150tdi DSG estate laurin and klement in petrol blue with cream leather. 

 

GfMy new (to me) MkIII SEL Executive 190 in Candy White. Getting used to the DSG and playing with all the settings! Love the ACC already. This is my 3rd Superb Estate, can you tell I really rate them?

`GfMy`?

Now you've embarrassed me I might have to spend a little time giving mine a clean.  It is bogging with all the rain at the moment.

That was right after the 100 mile drive back through torrential rain, it may look clean but it definitely isn't! 

 

It's even dirtier now only a 100 miles later. 

 

Once the weather gets a bit better I'll give it a proper detail and protection with this lot + meguiars leather cleaner:

 

Come spring I'll get someone to give it a proper machine DA polish as I can see a fair bit of swirling and some light scratches on the passenger side wing.

Lovely colour and lovely wheels! May I ask where you sourced them from?

😁. Those wheels aren't the ones I got from you, they're the factory ones that came with the car. Your wheels, plus an additional spare I bought, are sitting in my mates tyre garage fitted with Conti Winter Contacts. Just picked the jack/tool kit from my local main dealer today and I'll be swapping the wheels over in the next few days ready for my first trip to the alps in a few weeks 😎. Thanks again for the wheels.

Oh I didn't know (or if you had told me I definitely forgot about it). So you are that guy that finds the best factory colour-wheel spec for his next car and won't settle for anything else even if he has to put on winter wheels for a few months right? 
You have my utmost respect sir!

😁. Well I'm not quite that guy. I normally just buy a used set of factory rims for my winter tyres as I get insurance company hassle with aftermarket rims. And usually I'd go a tad narrower and a smaller diameter. But your price for your 'as new' black Supernovas was too good to miss out on especially as they were the rims I was getting on my new car. 

 

I've just got the Meteor Grey paint reference from my dealer as I'm thinking of spraying my roofbox to match 😎

Come on don't spoil my story!  

Have this for couple of months already. 2016 L&K (absolutely full, only rear wiper is missing). 2.0 TDI 140kW 4x4.

Such a big difference after Superb Estate MK2.

So your 140TDI has twin exhaust pipes, the same as a 206TSI.

That I haven't seen before on a Diesel...
